KW and Ohlins Suspension Now Available at CGR

Recommended Posts

If you're after getting the handling nailed on your GT86, BRZ or any other model, we can now offer a huge range of suspension options. We offer fitting, corner weighting, geometry and alignment set-ups.

If you choose to have your kit installed by us, we will offer a full "chassis workshop" where we will fit the kit, corner weight the car to your requirements (i.e driver weight and passenger if required), do a full 4 wheel alignment to specs that will suit your application, drive the car and adjust the damping until we feel it's set-up right and will require minimal adjustments by yourself.

This is a crucial stage in getting your dampers set-up perfectly and makes all the difference when it comes to comfort and lap-times alike.



Entry-level Fast-Road/Track Kit;

BC Racing BR;

RRP £849

These dampers are amazing value for money, they include adjustable damping, camber adjustable top mounts, custom spring rates/huge range available off the shelf, and the height of the car is adjusted by lowering the entire damper into the hub, meaning you don't lose damper travel no matter how low you run the car. The perfect kit for entry-level track driving or clubman racing, huge bang for buck and genuinely great pieces of kit.

 

KW V1;

RRP £966

KW are the house name when it comes to dampers and suspension, their V1 kit is designed as a plug-n-play kit to drop the height of your car, improve handling and comfort all in one hit. Very well made and german engineering. Pre-configured non adjustable damping designed to work in harmony with the factory car weight and driveability, attaches to the factory top mounts therefore retains factory geometry settings for camber.

 

Clubman/Clubsport Mid-Range Kit;

BC Racing RM;

RRP £929

Almost the same spec as the BR's but with inverted monotube dampers, meaning there's less unsprung weight at each wheel as the damper is attached at the chassis end not the hub end, much more comfortable and better performance on track/on the road, especially over bumpier roads and circuits, the wheel can move with the road much easier as there's less weight to move, great upgrade over the BR. Fantastic choice for those looking to daily their cars as well as set great lap-times

 

BC Racing ER;

RRP £1499

Probably the best value for money suspension kit on the market, inverted monotube damper (where applicable), camber adjustable top mounts, independent compression and rebound adjustment, external oil reservoir which keeps oil at a consistent temperature and therefore the damper is subject to very little change in oil viscosity, far more sophisticated damping over the BR and RM kits giving great comfort but most of all amazing track performance. Mainly designed for cars driven to the track on race day, win their class then driven home again, great set-up for the Nurburgring or bumpy b-road. Can also be spec'd for fully fledged track cars with stiffer springs and damping if needed, can be used for competition.

 

KW V3;

RRP: £1588

The V3 kit from KW is a great choice for those looking for high quality, german engineered dampers, that come with independently adjustable compression and rebound damping, fantastic damping qualities and most importantly great track performance. These coilovers also provide excellent comfort on the road and will take a bumpy b-road with these while still keeping the car fairly flat and under control at all times.

 

Clubman/Clubsport High-End Kit;

KW Clubsport 2-way / 3-way

RRP: £2520 / £3640

Designed and testing at the Nurburgring, the clubsport coilover kit is designed as the ultimate tool to drive your car to the ring and back again in comfort, yet set tyre scorching lap times with ease. Independent compression and rebound damping, camber adjustable top mounts, excellent damping capabilites and road handling. The 3-way option adds high speed and low speed compression as independent adjustment so you can truly get ultimate comfort by controlling roll and pitch (low speed compression) completely separately from harsh bumps, kerbs and sudden road surface changes (high speed compression) giving a truly advanced ride.

 

Ohlins Road and Track Without / With Top-Mounts

RRP: £1940 / £3020

The Ohlins brand speaks for itself, arguably the most highly regarding suspension manufacturer in the world. They feature Ohlins propriety Dual Flow Valve technology, which means under high speed compression the damper has essentially a built-in blow off valve, so the wheel and damper can move out of the way of the bump, kerb or pot hole then return back to the road surface quickly meaning no loss of traction and excellent comfort while retaining roll and pitch control perfectly. Available with or without camber adjustable top mounts, lowering is done via the hub mounting point so no loss of damper travel, aluminium components to keep unsprung weight to a minimum, and 1-way adjustable damping. 

 

In-Trax Racing Dampers

RRP: POA

We also have a great working relationship with In-Trax in the Netherlands who custom build suspension kits for us to spec and needs, there's no fixed price list for the Intrax kits as they're custom built and can be spec'd as needed. However the quality and ride is absolutely sublime. Coated struts for lower friction, inverted dampers, a multitude of damper adjustment options, camber adjustable top mounts, unlimited choice of spring rates. A truly custom set-up that is fully optimised for your application. Some of the best damping technology in the industry allows complete comfort without the cost of lap times, competitive racing spec body control as well as total comfort is possible without compromise. As each kit is custom built they are POA however we'll get some indicative prices from them so people can see what they'd expect to pay for a kit.

 

For any more information or for even more options, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

We can have custom set-ups built to your needs and cater for any uses, whether it's purely road, endurance racing or somewhere in between we can get a set-up that's perfect for you.

Just had an update from BC with some new models too;

We can supply the HR and ZR kits for the GT86 and BRZ platform too.

The ZR kit is the one to watch, as it had everything a super high-end damper would have, but at an affordable price.

Inverted monotube dampers which are 3-way adjustable, with external reservoirs.

High-speed and low-speed compression are adjustable independently as is rebound, camber adjustable top mounts where applicable as standard, huge damper bodies for extra stiffness and awesome damping capabilities. These are amazing pieces of kit to maintain comfort and bumpy road tracking but have ultimate performance on track, and completely adjustable for each condition. Flat, settled cornering no matter the condition, custom spring rates and valving available at no extra cost.

RRP £1799
