KW Variant 1 Coilover Question

I thought about buying a set of coilovers. I'm looking at the KW Variant 1 setup but failed finding the info I needed. Since I will be doing both auto X and Drag racing I want to be able to change the stiffness of the front and rear. Can you adjust the stiffness with the KW Variant 1 Coilovers. I know you can adjust the height, how about stiffness?

You can only adjust the front for stiffness...

Oh ****, that's V2, sorry. V1 are set from the factory and are only height adjustable.

Well that sucks. Can anyone suggest a good coilover setup where you can adjust the stiffness on front and back?

I believe the CA ones are fully adjustable. Or you could contact Gravana and see how the B&G Coilovers are coming along. Their site says they are still in development though but with a release of end of Sept.

Thats just the front though. I see the back you can't adjust for stiffness.

you can go the cheap route and just get some koni's....you have to take the rear out to adjust em...but they're adjustable...front is just a few screws. get some sportlines to finish it off and your set with a great suspension

^ That is a decent idea but I don't want to have to take out the strusts to adjust. That will be no fun at the track. Thanks though.
