KW Variant 2/3 Coilies

[andyj]

Guys,

Just been looking at the KW Variant 2/3 Coilies for the Mk2 Ibiza and Cordoba.

The two sets are listed as different model numbers, one for the Ibiza, and one for the Cordy.

BUT, the max axle loads listed for the two kits are identical. Front: 870kg, rear 670kg

Therefore, my question is: will the Ibiza kit fit the Cordy ?!?

Spring rates will be different at the back, (but they will physically bolt on no problems)

 

[andyj]

So that's a no then...

Can't really afford them anyway !!

They're height and damper adjustable though, would that make a difference ?!?

 

[Saul]

it will fit, but as stu says the spring rating on the cordy *should* be different

i think theres 40kgs in it between the mk2 ibiza and the cordoba

KW's likely to be badger wagen new suspension...

(race built not road kit tho)

Is that because a cordy is just an extra-heavy ibiza ?

Jase fitted ibiza springs on his sx - pogo effect

buy the right kit andy, if someone says they're the same - they're cocks and spend the money elsewhere

and what's wrong with an extra-heavy Ibiza ?!?

Bit of added weight over the rear axle never hurt anyone !!!

 

[andyj]

Cheers Mark !!

Not got the £££ at the mo anyway... not until I cash the insurance cheque anyway !!! and then the £300 excess that I'll be getting back to !!

 

[RobT]

and what's wrong with an extra-heavy Ibiza ?!?

Bit of added weight over the rear axle never hurt anyone !!!

oh, its a well recognised phenomenon in racing - adding weight to the rear of the car is bound to make it more stable and quicker right ? PMSL

jetta's were always faster than golfs...

 

[RobT]

maurice had (has) a golf......(fight fight fight).....

 

[andyj]

LMAO !!

I'm with Bill on this one..... and I'm sure Mark is to !!

 

[RobT]

Dream on boys, lighter cars are faster

 

[andyj]

I never said they weren;t..... I just said that a little extra weight never hurt anyone !!!

LOL

how are we with the weight loss of yours now?

ive been meaning to pop up and see your pimp deck (definately not a poop deck with led lighting)

its an extra heavy ibiza cos it had an extra heavy driver

beeza is coming out of the garage tomorrow - front bumper is now on with final mounts - looks well mean - front end is now fibreglass bonnet, fibreglass wings, plastic grill and plastic bumper - reiger one is a kg lighter than stock also - so front end is (considerably) wider and lighter - should go well ! (bonnet is biggest saving - stupidly light, got to be at least 10-15kg saving).

Not going to do anything else new till season start - just a few trackdays and tests to get happy with it - see how it is with wide front and std rear etc, may need a bit of dialling in. If its no where near, then season start will be delayed whilst backend mods are done - wide rear and VR6 rear axle (that I have already just in case). Once season is underway, will do doors and tailgate which are much much less of a job than front end has been.

Weathers not been up to sitting on the pimp deck just yet LOL

Ave it

Team dynamics BTCC Integra Vs Civic

 

[RobT]

both are ballasted to minimum weight for BTCC, no weight difference between them

 

[F2 Stu]

Did'nt think about that

My moment of smugness quashed.
