I've been running KW variant 3 on my hawk for about 4 months & no complaints so far.
The springs were changed to softer ones before fitting & on the road they only feel slightly harsher than the std shocks with tein springs that were fitted before,when pushing on through corners & flicking through cambered high speed s bends they react well, even with all the pot holes.
One thing that is a pita is access to the adjusters & they don't do any extenders for them.

Immy,
You on a spending spree to throw your cash away at the moment!
Nothing wrong with the standard set-up as a road car and when you're going to need to spend in the realms of £2k for a proper set of coilovers, sanity may start to make a guest appearance.

Why mess with the engine and suspension on the r205! You're a crazy man Immy. Seats and subtle mods fair enough but pulling stuff off that makes the r205 so special...... Dude!

I don't know mate I was never one to do dumb sh't like this, but i just see nice bits and think it would improve the handling. To be honest the current set up has not even been pushed. Am off to Dubai for a couple week, but when I get back I am defo hitting the ring!

I'm sure the car handles fine as it is.
Even Suzuki Swifts on semi slicks were overtaking me on the Ring when it was raining, it's more down to the driver than what you have on the car (no offence meant - speaking about myself lol)

Bloody cold but good fun
The snow almost ruined it but we were lucky managed 25 laps over the weekend so was happy.
Car performed superbly and came home in the same shape Roll on June

My OEM suspension won't come off my car until it falls off!
If you feel like spending some money..... get a breather kit, baffled sump, engine bay swirl pot, a set of Yoko 48's and hit some public track days for some stress free FUN!
Now... if you were doing some competition events it may be a different conversation.

Immy,
take the car as it is mate
she'll be fine plus you need a car you have confidence in.
The ring isn't somewhere to be exploring the grip limits of a new set up. There is little to no room for error there.
