Suspension Hype: KW Releases Clubsport Coilovers For Scion FR-S & Subaru BRZ

Posted on 02.27.13 | Andrew Beckford No Comments

The suspension wizards at KW Automotive have used their magical staff to bless the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ with a brand new “Clubsport” coilover system.  The cool thing about “clubsport” setups is that they are made especially for those who daily their car during the week and hit the track on the weekends.

The Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ Clubsport coilovers allow for a 20mm-50mm drop (or .7 in to 1.9 in) in the front and the rear as well as having adjustability for rebound and compression dampening.  KW claims that no matter how you adjust your ride height you will still have enough suspension travel to handle maximum loads and dynamic loads while driving.  In other words you won’t have to worry about bottoming out with these bad boys.

The MSRP on these coilovers is set at $3759.99 which is defnitely pricy but you pay for quality!  Hit up KWAutomotive.com or your local race shop if you want to order a set.

Hype: KW Suspension Variant 3 Coilover For Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ

Posted on 04.19.12 | Andrew Beckford No Comments

The KW Suspension gurus always work pretty fast but this time their work borderlines on unbelievable.  Neither the Scion FR-S nor the Subaru BRZ are close to being out yet but KW has already created their pattented Varient 3 coilover system for the shared platform.  I am convinced that they have a time machine and in reality they brought these back from the future!  Anyhow, like Variant 3′s for other platforms the FR-S/BRZ version is completely adjustible and offers a .8 to a 2 inch drop in the front or the back.  If you are one of the “First 86″ or on the list for the Subaru BRZ you may want to be pre-emptive yourself and order a set of these coilovers.  The MSRP on these bad boys is about $2,500 but that may vary depending on the shop you order them.

Press Release:

APRIL 2012

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

KW Variant 3 coilover suspension for 2012 Scion FR-S & Subaru BR-Z

KW Suspensions announce their Variant 3 stainless steel constructed coilover for the 2012 Scion FR-S & Subaru BR-Z.

The KW Suspensions coilover for the 2012 Scion FR-S & Subaru BR-Z enables the owner to lower their vehicle 20-50mm on the front axles and 20-50mm on the rear axles and retains enough travel to handle maximum load and dynamic loads during driving. Adjustable (and independent reacting) rebound and compression damping allows a truly individual performance driving setup for those technically demanding drivers. Compression dampening adjustment conducted in the low-speed range, while KW engineers set-up the high-speed pre-set, so decisive for driving comfort. 

Taken into consideration with each KW coilover design are important characteristics such as quality and performance. We specifically design and engineer each vehicle application for the proper range of motion, min/max weight loads and min/max lowering. KW maintains all these requirements while retaining its performance handling characteristics. The stainless steel construction internally and externally provides long-term durability and corrosion resistance from the elements. All KW Variant 3 coilovers come with a limited lifetime warranty.

All KW coilovers pass stringent German TUV safety and quality testing standards. Each kit sold TUV approved.

Part # 35258004   MSRP: $2,499.99
