KW 3-way Competition racing suspension
The KW competition 3-way racing coilovers provides 3 independent features of adjustment. Low-speed rebound, high and low-speed compression adjustment. The unique valve technology of the 3-way damper system differs from conventional mono-tube damper shim package valve technology. This design also provides a maintenance-friendly service of the damper system.
Versatile in its design, the damper system performance remains consistent even through a high temperature environment and has been proven to be reliable. The Competition 3-way systems are designed on the mono--tube damper principle with an adjustable reservoir. Rebound adjustments are made through an adjustable needle on pre-adjustable valves.
Depending on which version (18 or 22 clicks), the compression level in the low-speed and high-speed range can be adjusted. The standard compression level is controlled by a pre-configurable blow-off valve. The 3-way Competition kits are constructed of high-strength aluminum. McPherson front struts are constructed as inverted dampers with 40mm and 45mm/55mm (for rally use) guiding tube diameters. Steel construction is an option for endurance racing applications.
Note: Top mounts are not included in the Competition kits and are optional extras as some customers already have suitable top mounts they have invested in and do not always require. Contact us for prices if required.
