Coilovers are one of the most popular Porsche 964 modifications. How do they perform on a Porsche 964? In this video I look at ride height and settings and do a KW V3 test on the road.
And I'll answer the question of KW V3 versus Bilstein PSS10 - or at least give my opinion on which I think is better.

Hi Andy - great video. I’ve got KW v3s on my 964 also; your descriptions of their handling are spot on and well put - you nailed it. I drove a stock 964 a little while back - the difference in the flatness / stability in cornering and braking that the KWs give the car is phenomenal. I enjoyed hearing your thoughts on the KWs in comparison to the Bilsteins, having had them both on the same car. Like you, a number of my friends have chosen to go the Bilstein route.

Thanks David. Definitely all about personal preference. My comparison is definitely my opinion only. Sounds like you’re happy with the V3’s on your car!

Nice review dude! Just bought a 90' C4 w/77K. Planning on replacing the suspension in the near future. Interesting comparison to the PSS10's. My last 993 I owned had PSS9's and they felt crashy. I know the 10's are a little more adjustable, but still wasn't the right feel. Good for DE's though-too harsh on the street. I like your points with these V3's for the 964 thought! Great channel. Sub'd! Cheers from the PNW, USA.

Hey Brian. Thanks so much for the comment (and subscription!). As I’ve said to a few people, the difference between the Bilsteins and KW’s isn’t night and day but the subtle differences really do favour KW in my opinion. Definitely glad I made the move! Thanks again for checking out the channel!

@lastrasp
@lastrasp 3 года назад
Yeah it’s one thing I’d meant to say about fitting coilovers - the important thing is to consider how you use your car and what you need from it. When I got the car it had stock suspension with H&R lowering springs. Had a pretty good stance and decent ride.

I've taken quite a bit of weight out of the car so that also has an affect..

@@TomJVW great to hear it’s working out for you! - Are the drop link and sway bar required to work with the coilovers, or just as add-ons? - On a scale of 1-10, 1 is super soft, 10 super stiff, what’s the rate of H&R (Street Performance Coilover) ? - And are you seeing yourself in the need to upgrade to V3?

The KW Clubsport version is also a Worth considering. It shares its valving with the race version and is excellent value for money. I have them fitted to my 964C2 and the damping control and ride are excellent. If you want a car that is firm but comfortable on the road and very capable on track, I’d seriously recommend the Clubsport option
@lastrasp
@lastrasp 6 месяцев назад
Yeah I’ve heard this from a few people. They do sound great. Given the poor quality of our roads and the fact that I’ve only done two track days in the car, the V3 is a really nice middle ground.

I ran B16 PSS10's on my BMW and I've just had to cut my losses and move to KW V3's. I pick the car up tomorrow so I'm eager to see the difference. The B16's for me were far too harsh on the front making the rear completely unsettled and super bouncy no matter how you set them up. Then comes build quality and CS, I've had to make 3 claims in my 2 years of ownership, 1 cracked rear spring, 2 rear shocks seizing on the dampener adjuster (internal valve failure) and then the fronts have begun to lean causing dangerous handling. Bilstein CS want over 3 months to refurb the hardware each time under warranty, they are super arrogant over the phone and tell you to just be patient (which I am.. but 3 months without a car?). Enough was enough, I've sunk another £2,300 and I'm praying for a better experience over at KW
@lastrasp
@lastrasp Год назад
Be interesting to hear how they compare on a BMW. As I say in the vid, it's not like it's a night and day experience. I never had any reliability issues with the Bilsteins thankfully. I think you'll be pleased with the ride on the KW's.
@producerlawson
@producerlawson Год назад
@@lastrasp As you say, the difference isn't night and day, but it is noticeably nicer. If I want the same level of stiffness on the fronts I can dial them up to be similar, however the lower settings feel to have the same level of precision but with a lot less crash. There's hardly any bounce now and I would presume that's thanks to the individual rebound control, same with body roll and brake dive.. zero. The quality really stands out for me, especially with height adjustability, I can now do the rears without having to strip the wheel liner and the fronts can even be done by hand without the tool.

@CaptainFuzzzy 3 года назад
The KW V3 was extensively developed almost exclusively on an RS America. The ohlin's and PSS10's are not the ideal set ups for a base 964 C2 platform. They (KW) did a great job making an affordable and better performing option.
@lastrasp
@lastrasp 3 года назад
I didn’t know that! Great info, thank you. I looked at Ohlins but found it very difficult to get a sense of how low they’d go and whether they’d fit with my E88’s.

@lastrasp
@lastrasp 2 года назад
Fair point. But honestly I had spent a lot of money on setup at that point and didn't want to continue throwing money at the problem. So at that point I decided it was time to change direction. I'd had conversations with specialists including Joey Seeley at e-motion and KW V3's were recommended by pretty much everybody.

Would you have any knowledge about my situation? Thanks Joe NYC

Hey there Joe. Oh mate this sounds like a tricky one to solve. I don’t have any info that would be of use here. I find it hard to imagine how self leveling suspension would interface with coilovers but I could be wrong. Start with KW. Do they offer a package for your specific car?

My local independent Porsche service shop did the install. It's possible the Bilsteins would be a good solution on the 997.
