Default Track drivers with KWv3's

For peope who own KWv3 and feel they are a bit "soft" for track use, or are running 255 non stagger setup all around I have for sale the first set of Factor X Motorsports Development custom springs!

The springs are developed by KW, I will give you these in addition to spare helper springs. Stock KW coils are made for an OEM stagger setup, by going 255 the car doesn't quite behave as it was intended, these springs solve that problem. FXMD and myself have spent countless hours testing rates and finally we achieved the proper rate for the base KWv3 coils, and our testing has shown great results! A non aero-S2000 can pull a 2:05 at buttonwillow CW13 with a good driver, my newb self and 3 days at BW clocked a 2:07. Good for 127.6 at streets with me driving. Probably 26's with a well sorted driver (who knows) This is on a stock car with test pipe/header and coils with 255 all around. Interested buyers will get detailed car setup upon purchase.

So for those of you with KWv3's I guess you're sort of in luck. Contact me for more info, spring rates will only be disclosed to the buyer in person. I paid 350$ for the set of 4, selling for only 250$ picked up. Pics to come shortly!

Thanks for looking

=] Interested buyers can call me so we can discuss them, etc. I don't think I am allowed to disclose that information (not in a position to do that as I am not the person vendoring the product, if FXMD releases the rates then obviously everyone will know. ATM there hasn't been an official decision to release them =0. This is like a leaked version of a good movie)

You can buy them and set them aside. Install new wheels and swap coils and baam completely different car. Its what I would do if I were in your shoes

They will help with the stock tire setup as well, it won't be until you run 255 all around that you will make the MOST out of them. They were tested and designed around 255 all around non stagger, so that is the optimum performance range on the springs, ideally where your tire sizes will be when your track car is completed will be similar to this kind of setup (assuming you still daily your car). Will work just as well on a 245 all around, etc.
