Lowering the car beyond a certain point would make the car handle worse. |

They use ohlins through body race dampers. KW doesn't make dampers sophisticated enough to be used in top tier motorsport.

I meant WTCC cars. Here's a list of the motorsports history: http://www.kw-suspension.com/us/kw_m...rt_history.php The ALMS M3 GTR uses a 5-way adjustable suspension setup. I wouldn't go say that KW Suspension is inferior to the other brands. What other brand do you know that has a Super Session program catered to producing custom suspension choices for demanding race series and their requirements. I think they're sophisticated enough. Check out their custom 2-way and 3-way setups. They're on par with Motons, JRZs, Penskes, and Ohlins. http://www.kw-suspension.com/us/kw_competition.php |

I should've clarified by "top tier" I meant everything above touring cars, I know the KW's are very popular and successful in touring car racing.
What I meant to say is that KW doesn't offer a F1 or prototype car style damper. Those dampers are mainly the ohlins, sachs race, penske's etc.

I would highly recommend getting a corner balance and alignment after a coil-over install. It's relatively inexpensive and really helps you get the most out of the upgraded suspension by minimizing weight bias in the car. It's advisable to put ~400 miles on the coilovers before the CB and final alignment to allow the springs and parts to seat in ad acclimate.
