Default KW Variant 3 set up

Hey i've had my KWs for 2 years now and i love them on the street and on the track. but recently with my change to much wider R comp tires im finding that the 9k springs are not enough, i've ordered a set of 11k springs from kw. i was just wondering if the guys that are running this suspension could give me some insight on how and which direction i should make the adjustments on my coilovers. im running 265/35/18 front and rear.

Billy Johnson from FXMD (Factor X Motorsports Development) would be the guy to ask about the KW's. As far as I know he helped KW tune the coilovers for the s2000.

On a side note, what body kit is that you are running?

I have an 06 and thinking about order KW V3. Should I order with the 11K Spring?

This is my DD and when on the track I use R888 225/255.

i found the 9k spring were perfect for the street but the R comps overwelm them on the track, i don''t even kno if the 11k springs will help that much, if not i will prob be changing my suspension set up

I think you're still a little on the softer side for what you're doing.

Clubsport's is more $$ than V3. I only do track day not a race yet. Of course I want good shocks & springs but within the budget.

9K, 11K and now 571??? Can you please use the same unit? I don't know how to convert them. thank you.
