arman — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 17:50:02 +0000

WEITEC is a suspension specialist which is a subsidiary of KW, but they also have a good taste in other fields of tuning.

Take this Ford Focus RS as an example. As for the suspension you can either get the SPORT F Springs which lowers the car by 30 mm, or the adjustable GT kit which can drop it between 10 and 40 mm.

You can also go for full pro WEITEC HICON TX “plus” coilover suspension. Thanks to adjustable rebound damping, this permits the hardness of the suspension to be adapted. Even once it has been installed, it allows the setup to be adjusted at any time to the driver’s preferences and the demands of the track.

O.CT Tuning Chrysler 300C

Chrysler 300C with its old school gangsta styling is a sweet car for tuners to modify, but it’s not an easy one, because most of the tuners don’t get it right and ruin the whole character of the car with some stupid body kit and stuff!

Hopefully though, this one by O.CT Tuning, seems to quite a good one. It owes a large part of it to that magnificent matte black finish which is completed with the black wheels. After all O.CT is a wheel expert!

The SRT-8 HEMI engine of the car is also upgraded and now delivers 550 hp and 682 Newton meters plus a fantastic soundtrack thanks to the new stainless steel exhaust system.

The wheels under this show car are 10×22-inches which are accompanied by a professional coil-over suspension kit from KW.

Chevrolet Camaro KW

One can sense that the serial version was made for the broad and straight American roads, as on German streets, the car lacks driving comfort and renders strong car body vibrations. Moreover, the steering precision is not sufficient and the strong understeering in curves yearns for improvement as far as handling and performance of this muscle car on German roads are concerned.

With the KW coilover suspension Variant 3, the Camaro significantly gains performance and an amazing driving comfort. KW achieved the optimal suspension set-up for the Camaro on its in-house innovative 7-post driving dynamics test stand.

Owing to the suspension that KW offers, the sports car dynamically tackles curve speeds which would have led to massive understeering struggles with the serial version. The substantially more precise steering sensation renders an optimal response from the road. This allows a relaxed, fast drive even at maximum speeds, ensures more safety and gives the passionate driver more driving pleasure at the limit.

Expert drivers can not only adjust the lowering, but also the rebound-and and compression forces of the damping individually and independently. Therefore, the set-up can be perfectly adjusted to the road scenario and the preferences of the driver.

Apart from a significant improvement in safety, also the whole look of the Camaro is enhanced, as it is lowered by up to 40 mm at the front and up to 35 mm at the back. The advantages of the KW coilover suspension already show after the first few meters. A simple glance across the bonnet confirms how calm the front remains even when the car drives over an extremely rough ground, ensuring pleasant driving comfort.
