Fichtenberg (Germany), September 29th 2014 – KW is proud to launch a range of coilovers designed to improve driving dynamics in BMW M4 and M3 models. For owners wanting to hit the track regularly the Clubsport coilover provides the perfect solution, boasting adjustable top mounts, adjustable compression (low-speed and high-speed) as well as adjustable rebound. For those who want more road comfort with improved driving dynamics, the KW Variant 3 is a perfect compromise offering a lowering up to 40mm on the front and rear axle. As a final solution, KW offers great-value lowering springs giving a lowering from 5mm to 25mm.
The KW Clubsport coilovers give BMW drivers who want to extract the maximum potential from their new M4 Coupé and M3 sedan on racetracks and on the street. KW Clubsport coilovers have been developed on the Nürburgring Nordschleife and allow separate adjustment of the rebound and compression similar to our Competition racing dampers. KW Variant 3 coilovers also offer a similar level of adjustment too.
KW Nürburgring technology for the road
With so much adjustment available for the BMW M4 and BMW M3 suspension it allows fine-tuning for additional upgrades such as modified brakes, semi-slick tyres or increased engine power. With the rebound adjustment on the upper end of the piston rod the V3, Clubsport 2-way and 3-way coilovers can be adjusted with 16 clicks. With less rebound force the comfort will increase, whereas with increased rebound force the handling will improve and the bodywork roll reduced. Due to this, the steering precision will be improved when driving fast.
The damping force in KW V3 and Clubsport 2-way can be adjusted manually with 12 clicks, with KW Clubsport 3-way offering further adjustment. Compression damping can be adjusted independently in the high and low speed range. High-speed compression adjustment can be varied between 14-steps and low-speed compression can be varied with 6-steps. A harder low-speed adjustment will cause a more direct steering behavior on the front axle and reduce over steer at the rear axle.
Furthermore, KW Clubsport top mounts improve the grip of sport and semi-slick tyres thanks to adjustable camber providing an optimal seating while driving through corners. No top mounts are available for Variant 3 coilovers, and the damping/spring rate is also different between the two coilovers. For those who want maximum performance on racetracks Clubsport is the ultimate solution. For sporty driving on the roads Variant 3 suits the M4 and M3 perfectly.
Perfect for the road
Just like Variant 3 coilovers, KW Clubsport boast a German TÜV Certificate meaning you can easily drive home with your M4 or M3 after hitting the track in total safety and control – simply change the settings to a more comfortable ride! A stainless steel threaded strut allows a German TÜV tested lowering range between 15-40mm on the front and rear axles, while KW adjustable lowering springs allow a continuous lowering of 5-25mm.
