It's definitely a good position to be in if the problem is choosing between V1/2/3.
Will be interested to see what route you go down, I've had my eye on the V3's but can't justify the cost of them just yet.
Stetheo - had chat with AMD about what's best for my driving style and decided V1's are best - I think if I got v2 or 3 it would be wasting money on something I wouldn't use to its full potential - saw this on kw website which might help you decide when you get some ...
Choosing A Kit.
The key to using this website is to first of all decide on what you want to do with your car. You canât find the right suspension unless you know what the car is going to be used for.
You can break that down into 5 categories, which are.
1.Street use where you just want to lower the car and to have a firmer and sportier drive on normal roads.
2. Fast road use where you want to lower the car and to have a firmer drive but also to be able to adjust the ride quality slightly according to the roads that you use.
3. Fast road as well as track use where you not only want to lower the car but also want to have full control over the damper settings.
4. Serious track use where you arenât concerned too much about the use on the public roads and are a serious track user needing racecar like handling.
5.Racing and motorsport use where the car is raced and not generally used on public roads, generally the car would be trailered to a track or event.
Once you have decided what the car is going to be used for then you can decide on what suspension upgrade is going to be required.
Letâs go through the categories.
1.Purely street use requires either a Street Comfort kit or a Variant 1 kit which gives a lower ride height as standard but also allows some height adjustment.
2.Fast road use requires a Variant 2 kit, which gives a lower ride height as standard but also allows for some height adjustment and also some adjustment of the rebound settings on the dampers.
3.Fast road as well as track use requires a Variant 3 kit which gives a lower ride height as standard but also allows for some height adjustment and also some adjustment of the rebound and low speed bump settings on the dampers.
4.Serious track use requires a Club Sport kit or if a Club Sport kit is not available for your vehicle then possibly a Variant 3 with stiffer springs would be a good alternative.
5.Racing and motorsport use requires a racing setup and we recommend that you fill in our motorsport questionnaire to ensure that you get the right kit for the job.
Be sure to choose the right kit for your use, as an extreme example choosing a Club Sport kit for just road use is not going to be a good choice, the ride quality will seem very bad on all but the smoothest public roads and you would only ever use the softest settings so in the long run it just would not be good value for money.
Similarly choosing a Variant 1 kit for serious track use is not going to be a good choice, the springs would not be adequate for the job of bringing lap times down and there would be no adjustment of the damper settings which you might need for individual tracks or conditions etc.
Think about what is most suitable not what seems cheapest or even âtop of the rangeâ.
