I do know that they use a digressive valved shock. So it should have a much larger effect especially with body roll and low speed shock occurrences so it will feel stiffer. Other 'value' systems like BC use a completely linear setup that has very little control on the low velocity stuff. So they tend to make up for it with the spring rate..... Not sure what KW uses.
KW have longer stroke and progressive spring.

But, again, it is 2 different design.
KW uses european design where you change the ride height by loosen up or tighten up the spring.
While this coilover is the same as Japanese design where it change the ride height by shortening and extending the shock body length via the lower mount.

There are pro and con for both setup.
For more track use, I would rather use the Japanese design.
While for street use, the european design is more road and driveway friendly.

Soooo, let's get it installed!!!
