adjustable top mounts

[p 5ary]

im thinking of a set of the kw variant suspension, can anyone explain to me what adjustable top mounts are? there like 290 quid and seems to be an extra?

i dont know whether to go for variant 1 2 or 3
variant 1 =sportive - harmonic with KW factory pre-set up dampening

variant 2 = sporty and personalized with adjustable rebound damping

variant3 = race technology for the road with adjustable compression and rebound damping

i dont think i would use the full potential with the likes of variant 3 so it may be a waste, i would probably be best to use kw's expertise and trust their setup on the likes of variant1.

All the Seat boys rave about the Variant 2's!! If your doing alot of track and drift the Variant 3's are the tool.

Stick with Variant 2....and spend the spare cash on setting them up right!!

Its a bit like having the best management system available. Its only as good as the person who maps it. Very few people have the geometry knowledge and equipment to set these fancy coilovers up properly. Find an expert before you buy the kit. Give Gault a shout, see what he thinks.

they allow more camber adjustment afaik. prob not necessary mate

Soo true.

There is not really any need for the varient 3's unless you want it setup very precisely for track use. Varient 2's will allow you to get the car sitting the way you want with the stiffness (ooooer!) you want.

yeah thats what i was thinking, thanks for the advice lads

the mount will allow adjustment of camber , castor and KPI.

double adj dampers are for racers only and you'll need a good engineer to set them up as you can tie the car in knots unless you follow a very strict precise test regime with them.

Lol sorry didn't see your post! Ahh well we both agree anyway so no harm done.

 

[RMS_CLK]

Yes nice to see all the lads agreeing for a change!
