Project Ford Mustang 5.0 – Installing KW Clubsports!
With our last installment of Project 5.0 Mustang covering the correction of our Mustang's rear suspension geometry and the addition of larger adjustable anti sway bars by Whiteline, to complete our suspension, we badly needed a good set of dampers. Like a lot of other MotoIQ project cars, we turned to KW Suspension to provide us with a set of their Clubsport coilovers with front camber plates.
If it seems like we use a lot of KW here at MotoIQ, it's for a reason. The coilover market is flooded with a lot of inferior made in Asia coilovers. We have had plenty of experience with these and often they are so bad we cannot write about them. We are always looking for a low cost suspension to cover that really works but unfortunately we have only found a few examples to write about so far.
At MotoIQ we are more keyed into making cars really handle than other media outlets and we appreciate decent dampers. In our search for affordable dampers that really work, we keep coming back to KW. No one has as wide of an application range as KW. KW has dampers ranging from the fixed damping Variant I, the single adjustable Variant II and the Double adjustable Variant III. For track day enthusiasts that still drive on the street, KW has the Clubsports with Camber plates and heavier springs and valving. For some high end enthusiasts KW has a few 3-way Clubsport applications. For racers KW has two and three way adjustable Motorsports dampers. The V3 and Clubsport lines fill out the upper middle end of the market and the Motosrport dampers fill out the top and racing side. No one has anything close to as many fitments in these segments right off the shelf as KW and as a result we use a lot of KW.
