KW V3 Coilovers

I've driven the car for about three months by now. The TT generally handles well, but I didn't feel too comfortable with the bodyrolls during high speeds at bends.

As mentioned previously, I've read and heard good thing about KW and Bilstein. Decided to go with KWV3 because the individual rebound and dampening could be individually adjusted and customized to personal preferences.

This mod also has the effect of lowering the car. It's a nice visual enhancement to have.:)

There were several permutation of settings to pick from. I told the workshop that I wanted street driving comfort setting and left it to them to do the adjustments. They chose the KW V3 stock setting for me.

The improvement to the handling was immediately felt. Sure, ride comfort was sacrificed but it was at a tolerable level. However, there was some underside rubbing of the inner fender when going over speed bumps. I brought the car back to the workshop the next day and they reduced the rebound rate. It made the car firmer, and definitely more planted. The rubbing was also gone.

This mod definitely gave me more confidence in the car handling during bends and at speeds because the ride-feel is so planted.
