I thought the KW v3 were commonly used for the track. I know TCK is top shelf but how much better (if at all) is it? I am serious b/c I plan to buy coilovers over the winter in prep for next spring. Also, what is the difference between clubsport and V3? I thought only the V3's were available for the MZ4.

negative. he is talking about the CLUBSPORT KWs not V3s. they are a track oriented coilover system. fairly new. i have heard any reviews yet but i think GP20 was supposed to be getting a set

Aren't the V3s also ~ to TCK though? Regardless of how much better the clubsports are.

I missed the club sport part.

The KW clubssports are nice. They come with proper linear springs and camber plates on the front. They are fairly new and at $3500 pretty expensive.

Between the TCK and Clubsport I would rather have the clubsports.

I'm going to try and convert my V3 to linear springs using the clubsport parts. Kw says its possible since they use the same struts.

The V3 are not meant for hard track use. According to KW USA they are a "street" coilover. The progressive springs are pretty soft.
