    KW clubsport Vs Intrax Ik2

    Hello,

    which shocks are better? I know Intrax are the bigger name and probably are better but since they cost virtually the same i was thiking maybe KW's give more shock for the money?

    I would have thought clubsports would have been a lot cheaper and was quite surprised to see they are both similar price . >£2k

    I had a set of V3's on my e36 and thought they were awesome

    are intrax Ik2 full coilover on the rear? do they need reinforcement or special top mounts at the rear or anything?

    what about nitrions?

    thanks

      Intrax are full rear coilover at the rear.
      Always fit the Z3 rear reinforcement kit and always fit the front E46 reinforcement kit with after market suspension, they are not expensive. I have both part numbers somewhere.

              I'd say KW is by far the bigger name?

              They drive very differently from my brief go in a KW car.

              Easier to cornerweight the car with a coil over on the rear from what I've seen but that might just be my lack of understanding.

              Do KW still use allen keys for adjustment?

                yes mate, they do a rivet kit which I don't know the part number of.
                Although I think they are just pop rivets.... or you can get them welded in

                Not mine but a picture I found when I was looking at the part number which confirmed it was the right number.

                  I think very recently they have changed.

                    They have a nice shiny purple knob to adjust now.

                            Went down my local Sytner BMW with part numbers, the 51 71 7 036 781 was for Left hand drive cars both me and the parts department were confused, and the 51 71 8 413 35 was missing a number.
                            Any ideas ?? :thumbs:
