IIGQ4U

Hi everybody

I just ordered a set of KW Variant 3 coilovers and was wondering what you believe is a good setup for what will be a majority of street driving and occasional track?

I just want a setup to potentially neutralize the rear end... Post your setups here!

Kobe

why don't you have a different setup for the street and track? though to be honest the bump setting is a bit of a pain to change..

For the road..I use

bump 1.5 all round
rebound 1.5 front
rear 2.5 rear


KW recommended to me for track use:

bump 0.75 all round
rebound 0.75 front
rebound 1.5 rear

this was great for dry/high speed corners..crests/compressions.. but not OK for the wet and or flat slow corners where the car would understeer considerably despite 215 front tyres.

^good info.

So Kobe... You have the rear end setup softer than the front right?

Kobe

yes the rebound is softer in the rear..

by the way, I guess your alignment settings and tyre choice will interact with this - so copy/paste wouldn't necessarily work out.

I'm a very lazy person, so track and street setups are the same.

IIRC.
bump 0.5 all round
rebound 0.5 front
rear 1.0 rear

Alignment spec:
front camber -1.75
rear camber -2.5
rear toe in 1/16

Tires:
F:235/40/17
R:255/40/17

I am pretty happy with this setup now, only thing I do adjust is rear rebound, depending on how tail happy the car is. Hope this help.

Great, keep the setups rolling folks!

My set just came in today =)

Kobe

obviously you don't have speed bumps in your area

even with softer setting than yours.. it's painful going over these things..

I hate going over speed bumps stock!

I need to find my notes, I usually base line the rebound and dial it in. to around .5 to 1 front and 1. 1.5 rear.

.75 on the bump
