Thrilled is the right world
when the KW was announced. Their impressive new Club-sport coilover system for
the F8x M3/M4, as their suspension products have become known in the enthusiast
communities for their world-class quality and performance. Recently KW released
the very first photos of the new Club-sports, and people wanted to share them
with everyone here.
The KW Club-sports coilover
gives BMW drivers who want to extract the maximum potential from their new M4
Coupe and M3 sedan on racetracks and on the street. KW Club-sport coilover have
been developed on the Nurburgring Nordschleife and allow separate adjustment of
the rebound and compression similar to our competition racing dampers. KW
Variant 3 coilover also offer a similar level of adjustment too.
With so much adjustment
available for the BMW M4 and BMW M3 suspension it allows fine-tuning for
additional upgrades such as modified brakes, semi-slick tyres increased engine
power.
With the rebound adjustment
on the upper end of the piston rod the V3,
Club-sport 2-way and 3-way coilover can be adjusted with 16 clicks. With
less rebound force the comfort will increase, whereas with increased rebound
force the handling will improve and the bodywork roll reduced. Due to this, the
steering precision will improved when driving fast.
The damping force in KW V3
and Club-sport 2-way can be adjusted manually with 1 click, with KW club-sport
3-way offering further adjustment.
Compression damping can be
adjusted independently in the high and low speed range. High-speed compression
adjustment can be varied between 14-steps and low-speed compression can be
varied with 6-steps. A harder low-speed adjustment will cause a more direct
steering behaviour on the front axle and reduce over steer at the rear axle.
Furthermore, KW Club-sport
top mounts improve the grip of sport and semi-slick tyres thanks to adjustable
camber providing an optimal seating while driving through corners. No top
mounts are available for variant 3 coilover, and the damping/spring rate is
also different between the two coilover. For those who want maximum performance
on racetracks Club-sports is the ultimate solution. For sporty driving on the
roads Variant 3 suits the M4 and M3 perfectly. Just like Variant 3 coilover, KW
Club-sport have a German TUV certificate meaning you can easily drive home with
your M4 or M3 after hitting the track in total safety and control – simply
change the settings to a more comfortable ride.
A stainless steel threaded
strut allows a German TUV tested lowering range between 15-40mm on the front
and rear axles, while KW adjustable lowering springs allow a continuous
lowering of 5-25mm.
