I know when it will understeer, and I know how to counteract that. I wish I could tell you more, but I like this suspension set up. It works well for my street driving. I haven't taken it on the track yet, nor have I stiffened up the rebound. I'l make sure to comment as that comes to pass.




Yes, as you say, the KW V3 system used the existing torsion bars, and also the strut bearings. I currently have a bunch of WEVO parts, including the strut mounts/camber plates. That has helped considerably, but I do need to change the bearings inside these particular WEVO camber plates as they are popping over bumps or potholes. This is a wear n tear item and is to be expected, so not out of the ordinary. I do like these units. With the 19mm raised spindles, paired with the ERP bump steer products, it handles quite well. I drive this car hard and put it through many tests, and it does quite well. I'm happy with how it handles now. Its fine for the street, and fantastic at speed, and that's exactly what I wanted. I hope this helps you.
Sounds great! Thanks for the feedback.

Did you decide against the wheel fans?
