Anyone use them for track on a regular basis? thoughts?

Thanks and sorry
I don’t believe that Robispec offers a M3 version of the KWs. I contacted him before and they are not longer revalving KWs in house, so KW is probably your only option, but they will not do anything custom, in fact they told me that they will only “rebuild” and not revalve the KWs V3.

Either way someone is working on revalving the KWs for a different car so we will see what happens.

The KWs are very popular with M3s also, why aren’t you satisfied? What year M3? Is this M3 a track/ AutoX car or a street car? Are you looking to improve something specific?

These are the spring rates for the Evo X KWs
KW Variant 3 ................... 8.0 kg* ......... 9.0 kg*
KW Clubsports ................ 9.0 kg* ......... 11.0 kg*
KW RobiSpec Streets ....... 8.0 kg* ......... 9.0 kg*
KW RobiSpec Clubsports .. 9.0 kg* ........ 11.0 kg*
KW RobiSpec Competition 9.0 kg* ........ 11.0 kg*

I'm sorry man, maybe i miswrote that. I have the KW V3 for my BMW M3 and wasn't a huge fan... I wasn't looking to pick up a set of KW V3 for my Evo. However, I was looking at the Robispecs for my Evo X... thanks for the solid information though.

After speaking to the guys over at Robispec they have solidified another owner of the Robspecs for 11' GSR

Ohhhh I see.
I think that the KWs are great quality/performance for what they are! Robispec definitely knows about shocks, let us know what you get and how they feel!
