KW v3 Clubsports ride quality?

I’ve searched, but I really haven’t been able to find any information on the ride quality of the KW club sports. My friend has the regular V3’s on his 82 and they ride very nice. How do the club sports compare? I’m worried that the Club sports with their additional spring will ride much stiffer. This car is a 78 with stock TB

I’d like to hear your experience with these thanks Rene

Regular V3s for torsion bar cars. V3 Clubsport coilovers are for cars that are have been (are being) converted from torsion bars to coil springs.

V3 Clubsports coil overs are not meant for use on torsion bar cars. Coilovers would be in lieu of,(versus in addition to) torsion bars.

Assuming that's what you were asking.

Coilovers are not plug-and-play. Requires engine removal for additional bracing around the rear shock towers.

Unless your use case is primarily track days, stick with the standard v3. It's lightyears better than stock without being overly harsh.
