KW V3 997 Spring rates HLS and standard
For the HLS set up:
Front: 30= 174 lbs /in Linear (170mm length)
Rear: 130 = 742 lbs/in Linear
For Non-HLS set up:
Front: 37.86nm = 216 lbs/in progressive
Rear: 130 = 742 lbs/in Linear
Hi Guys,
Thought I would start a new post so this was easy to find (took me quite a while to find it). When i contacted KW in the US they could not get me this information. They should just call the KW mothership in Germany...
This information is from KW headquarters in Germany.
The difference between the HLS (lift) and non-lift V3 set up is that the HLS fronts are linear while the standard set up is progressive.
Being as the hydraulic lift in the HLS set up takes up several inches, the linear spring on the HLS is a shorter spring then the progressive on the standard.
UPDATE: Having the same problems as @ChrisTT with bottoming of the front springs. Took the springs off and, and tested them, and they are 174lb (30nm), not 70nm. Going to switch to Swift springs and try work out a good set up for the car. Arg.
