KW Variant 3 coilovers
Has anyone heard or used KW Variant 3 coilover's?
The vette is lowered with longer bolts and belstein HD's. The ride is pretty rough now after about 2K miles with the HD's.
I'm looking to replace the shocks/leaf spring setup with coilovers that don't cost $2000.
I found the KW Variant 3 coilover for around $1400.

Are you shore, that with 1400$ is a complete Coilcover Suspension?
Do you have a link to this suspension?
If you look at http://kwshop.de/
KW have shocks for 1379,- Euros: Artikelnr.:35261001
and the complete Suspension for 2199,-Euros: Artikelnr.:35261011
In the german forum some members drive it and all are happy with it.

Why not check w/RSD as suggested to you before. They may still have a few sets available at sale prices. I would rather "go w/ the flow" in regards to a proven quality product as Pfadt c/overs seem to be. Just my 2 cents. Good luck.

I've searched them and they are a legit .com company.
FYI, KW seems to be a well respected company with may other car groups!!

Yesterday when you posted in the C/5 parts section,"W.T.B Coil overs." Bullit 4110 replied & suggested you check w/RSD for their discount pricing on Pfadts. Good luck w/ whatever you go with.

Doing the same research brother. Kw coilovers are awesome and recommended by almost everyone outside of the corvette world just because they are super expensive. The variant 3 is just a shock kit. The actual coilover kit is around 2500 from what I have gathered but seriously kw is worth the dough. Hope this helps you but if you download their application list instead of using the online thing you will find both that are available and more explanation.
