(non TUV, just lke the Clubsport).  :drinking:

KW Clubsport is TÜV approved, Rex.  :smiley:

So it's the most track ready suspension kit for Mk.V/VI, A3, Cupra or TT.

For street only I'd prefer Bilstein or Sachs though.

When these are fitted weather it be KW or bilstein does anyone get any knocking noises? Or a noise when you turn the wheel?
What's KW club sport then? Is that another term for V3's?

Some have, most don't. Sachs Performance is quiet as well.

KW 'Clubsport' = a more track oriented version auf the 'Variante 3'

Same construction, but stiffer linear springs, shorter damper bodies
and comes (as an option) with adjustable (and solid) top mounts.
