Kw coilovers fitted.......

Tara · Saturday at 12:47

Well after all the absolutely rubbish Cupra and dealer warrenty regarding my faulty/noisey monroe dcc shocks.....I tossed a coin on either selling and moving on or fixing it myself .....I knew it was going to cost me around another 5-10k to get something I'd like so after a bit of fishing around I went for the KW3 plug and play option as I wanted to retain my factory dcc adjustability....
Collected the car last night and I'm not joking when I say its the best mod ive done on all my cars , its so good and compliant it really has exceeded my expectations which where pretty high , it soaks up bumps and potholes and instead of it crashing its just a gentle thud in the background , comfort is exactly that and you really notice the difference in Cupra and handling feels great but still compliant, I have dropped the coilovers to the highest ride height they recommend which is 20mm lower than stock and best of all its as quite as a mouse which is where this all started , pics to follow and really pleased.

I will try and get some better pics as you can't really see from this one but it gives you an idea although it looks lower than it actually is..... also the coilovers when I opened them lol.

Looking mean. Presumably still works fine with the DCC?

Simple answer is yes,

Blurb from KW
This adaptive coilover suspension is suitable for vehicle models with electronically controlled standard suspension. During installation, the standard suspension struts are replaced by the KW suspension. Our adaptive dampers are connected to the standard on-board electronics. The standard damper control and the standard driving dynamics switch are retained and now control the DDC Plug & Play.

I had these on my M3 and they were great, replaced now as I wanted more control over the damper controls and then you get a seperate kit that fools the car into thinking its connected although I am told you can do this with physical changes to the setup.

Yes exactly that as its just plug and play , I thought about getting the v3's as you get more control and would be better for track use as you can dial them in manually but it delete's your dcc and i didn't want that as I just wanted factory+ option as I only drive on the road , like you know i was never intending to go down this road but it's a 100% the best option for keeping the car for me anyway , a couple of b&w ones I took this morning lol.
