Nürburgring Nordschleife is the most popular race track for using our KW Clubsport suspension kits. High performance sports cars,
modified saloons as well as classical sport compact cars are tuned in weight, engine and wheels for their use on several race tracks.
These improvements are made for a better handling on track sport events, race taxi drives, visitor drives and equability tests particularly on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Due to these modifications of the car some parameters are changing. Therefore, the road setups are
no longer ideal for the performance of the car. For this use we offer special clubsport kits which have been adapted to the changed requirements by changing spring and shock setup as well as the installation of racing top mounts.

• Performance setup for the racetrack
• Dampers in compression and rebound forces independently adjustable
• Use of high performance linear race springs
• Additional available with racing top mounts
• TÜV approval possible depending on the specification

And for the people looking for some competition setups...

2-way adjustable : The suspension systems are classified according to the purpose for which they are to be used, and are listed under „Circuit“ or „Rally“ in the application list. The racing suspensions designed for „Circuit „ enable the vehicle to be lowered by 50-100 mm, and cannot under any circumstances be used for racing cars that permit only a standard height or minimal lowering. These suspension systems are designed to be used for slaloms, hill climbs, cuit-racing events and long-distance races, but also for racing driver training and tourist drives on the northern loop of the Nürburgring. The suspension systems listed as „Rally“ are designed for an adjustment range around the standard vehicle height (+/- 25 mm) and can be used for both Group N cars and rally cars, (please note: these shocks are not designed to run an hard gravel stages).


3-way adjustable :

The suspension systems are classified as with the double adjustable suspensions into Circuit“ and „Rally“. There are, however, some solutions developed for particular race series. (e.g. DTC, DPM, ETCC) The design of the suspension struts is indicated in the table. Essentially we differentiate between the upside-down MacPherson strut designs that are either fitted with standard plain bearings and are 40 mm or 45 mm in diameter, or our special linear bearing products with shock absorber casings that are 40 mm in diameter. There are also coilover shock absorbers with adjustable spring plates, for the use of racing springs and single, unthreaded shock absorbers.
