Toyota: Even more fine tuning for the GR86
DRIVE For the Toyota GR86, KW Automotive already has a wide range of coilovers for road and trackday use. Now a triple performance-adjustable V4 Clubsport coilover suspension is added.
KW Automotive expands the delivery range for the Toyota GR86 with a triple performance-adjustable V4 Clubsport coilover suspension. Supplied with Unibal support bearings, the V4 Clubsport coilover suspension is made of stainless steel just like the other KW coilovers available for the GR 86. In times of downsizing, turbo engines and front-wheel drive cars, the rear-wheel drive Toyota GT86 has become an affordable sporty exotic in numerous markets. Toyota also relies on rear-wheel drive and high-revving naturally aspirated four-cylinder boxer engine for the new GR86. From its displacement of 2.4 liters, the gasoline engine delivers an output of 235 hp.
Peter Banz, Managing Director of KW Automotive (Switzerland), says: "Although the Toyota GT86 was rather modest in terms of sales figures, it represents one of the most successful vehicle models for us with its model derivatives. For this reason, we also carry various KW coilovers with certificates for the GR86 in our product range."
The right chassis for every need
In addition to the V1 coilover suspension, KW also has the V3 suspension, which can be adjusted in compression and rebound, as well as the V3 and V4 Club Sport variants available immediately. The four suspensions, which are made of stainless steel, have a parts certificate that covers stepless lowering of 20 to 50 millimeters at the front axle and 25 to 55 millimeters at the rear axle.
Peter Banz: "Our coilovers differ in their design and damper construction. With the dual-tunable V3 Clubsport and the triple-adjustable V4 Clubsport, we use different spring rates and differently designed compression and rebound valves compared with pure road applications."
With the KW V4 Clubsport, the high-speed and low-speed ranges of the compression damping and the low-speed rebound damping are available for individual tuning. The V4 Clubsport coilover suspension, including parts certificate, is available for 5415 Swiss francs.
