^ Don't listen to this guy, he is a complete troll and has had no real world experience on the track. I kid I kid.

Billy knows his stuff and has the privalege of driving many different set ups. His knowledge is priceless.

 

Thanks guys I thinhk KW V3 is the way to go! Thanks for all the help and sorry for the redundant questions just hate buying and selling parts for no reason!

Are the Tein SRC really worthy of being looked at?

IMO, only if you plan to donate your car to strictly track duty.

 

Yea I definitely don't need all that guys! The KW V3 is the one I will post pics as soon as I get response from any of our vendors I sent a message too.

[QUOTE=Billj747,Nov 30 2008, 08:28 PM] Out of everything you mentioned, the KW V3s would be the best option and while some say other dampers would be better on the track, some would beg to differ.

 

[QUOTE=blkblks2k,Nov 30 2008, 10:23 PM] I'm .7 away from taking maxrevs record at Streets of Willow.

 

Its a bit of a trade off. My instructor said that back in 06/07, you use to be able to take alot more through the esses, worth atleast a few .1. But now its repaved in areas and I hear grip has picked up a bit, so its a bit hard to argue. In any case, I think streets is the one track where a not so much "track oriented" suspension like the V3 has a chance to compete with the stiffer competitors. I think you would be hard presses to find two cars of similar spec, only to be separated by V3/SRC and .7 on a track like Button or Sears... but I could be wrong. They say that the difference between a $1000 and $5000 suspension is merely a second, but that's just a saying.

I think its sad that for a car like the S2000, there isn't ONE off the shelf suspension system that offers spring rates suited for sticky rubber and proper valving to match @ a reasonable price <3000. Why do you have to resort coilovers that cost as much as a miata to only have a setup that isn't a total compromise.

-end rant-

 

I've been running the KW V3 since mid-2006 and love them. Other s2k owners in the area tried my car out and love the response of the suspension.

 

KW Club Sports from what I have heard recently have slightly higher spring rates and damping. Could this be the answer to a sub $3K damper that wont beat you up that is proper? I think the V3s are, but the at least 2 cars Iknow of that regularly go to Buttonwillow were too low screwing up their geometry and bottoming out on the bumpstops making for a very unpredictable drive.

I'm sure a decent driver will eventually make it to BW with R-comps and KW's set to the proper damping and will make a good time. But until then, the speculation can continue..
