Koni FSD and Ebach springs

If you fancy track days then the KW Clubsport would be even better, but KW-V3's or Bilsteins are totally more than adequate. The Clubsport just give extra adjustability of camber on the top mounts IIRC but you wouldn't want to run too much extra camber on the road because of uneven tyre wear (unless you have a set of track wheels with track rubber).
No complaints from me on V3's around The Ring : -

As you say I am happy with the ride and stance of my car but it does scrape getting on my drive so the coilovers will help with this

....I don't quite understand how the coilovers will be an improvement over your drive scraping problem - Coilovers will lower your car more than the KoniFSD setup and if you set your coilovers too high you'll compromise track work and probably fast road.

The club sports have a completely different damper and spring rate as well, Similar to the difference between V1 and V3 according to VWR. :smiley:

....Thanks, TC :happy2: - I wasn't sure (hence the "IIRC"). Being VWR-KW-V3's it's my version which is virtually the same as KW Clubsports but without the adjustable topmounts (I was told by VWR).

Raising the car on the KW3's/Clubsports will not be compromised 'providing' you set the bump and rebound settings correctly.
The spring rates will be the same but it will mean that the struts may need a stiffer setting.
I'll be down at VWR next week hopefully for set up advice :happy2:

Cheers, Ian :drinking: - My limited knowledge is exactly why I leave it to experts like VWR to set up my suspension. Correctly adjusting the settings is clearly critical for good results. I've only wanted to achieve a good setup which I don't have to adjust myself for fear of cocking it up!
