KW V2 + Zimmerman Drilled Rotors

[Ryou]

Courtesy of MSD in Sunway.My car was recond, so the hubs on all 4 rotors were rusty from corrosion, since have to change, decided to go for the drilled look, which MSD has in stockAnd since have to work on the car, i 1 shot decided to change out all the lower arms, top mounts etc etc thats old and cracked, also installed a set of used KW V2 that a fren found for me at good price

The rotor looks cool Btw bro, does it shudder or jerk during high speed braking?

Ryou , do you know the spring rate for KW V2 ? front and back ?

Hi Ryou,
How much did you pay for the rotors? front and rear prices. Do update us on the rotor performance on high speed braking like grip, shudder etc..You need to run in about 500kms before they are fully optimised. How about the pads....its recommended that you change new pads with new rotors too.

rm2900 including labour, i dont expect any performance difference between these and stock rotors, i did it cos i had to change anyway, might as well add some bling to the car. No judder at all, no reason for it to judder as its brand new.

best upgrade for stock systems is performance pads like Hawk HPS, those give significant extra grip vs stock.

sorry, no idea on spring rates for the KW, but its way better then stock M-performance, and it drops the car down to 2 fingers...can got to 1/2finger but i think thats risky in malaysia

Bro Ryou, the KW is better than stock M-Performance in which aspect? Performance or comfort level? Nowadays I'm not really a fan of stiff suspensions, haha.

Ryou , found out that KWs spring rate is progressive hehe... jfyi...

Ryou, mind sharing cost of kw2 coilover. Bc racing coilovers cost rm3500 instaled l but have 2 wait 35 days 4 them 2 arrive. Bilstein b12 is rm 4200 from kenny installled in kota damansara. How is d performance of kw? thanks in advance.

Most places sell for around 6.8-7k, i got mine for a very reasonable price as it was used.

I used to be a pss9/pss10 fanatic...but after trying the V2, im converted.

Front can go from 4 finger gap(stock) to 0, but im using 2 finger gap as its more practical, rear im at 0 fingers

- much better at damping then stock Msport, doesnt yo-yo after big dips in the road
- soaks up road irregularities and minor potholes really well
- transforms the car, i found the car almost undrivable at high speeds when i first got it..especially on bad highways like kesas or jlan damansara near bangsar

Thk u 4 sharing, i got adjustable bilsteins b6 in d end. M an older man so dont need car 2 low, just like playing ard with firmness. @ finger gap front n back suits me.
