The Japanese car manufacturer Toyota has been involved in rally motorsport for almost half a century. The homologation model for the Toyota World Rally Championship is the new GR Yaris. Due to the high demand for a chassis suitable for everyday use and for use on the racetrack for the three-door all-wheel-drive compact sports car, the chassis manufacturer KW automotive has developed the new KW Clubsport 3-way. The Clubsport coilover kit made of stainless steel has a new valve technology so that the use of expansion tanks is no longer necessary. Thanks to their new multi-valve design, the dampers can be set separately in the high-speed compression stage with 14 precise clicks, in the low-speed compression stage with 13 click stages and in the low-speed rebound stage with 16 clicks.

This gives trackday enthusiasts the freedom to individually adapt the chassis to the mounted tires, rims and the track layout. In addition, the KW Clubsport coilover kit has uniball bearings milled from solid aluminum for camber adjustment on the front axle. As part of the parts certificate, the compact all-wheel drive can be lowered continuously on both axles from 25 - 45 millimeters. The recommended retail price for the KW Clubsport 3-way coilover kit is 3.999 euros.

Numerous drivers of a Toyota GT86 and the current Toyota GR Supra opt for a KW Clubsport coilover kit when retrofitting a chassis in the independent aftermarket. “With the new Gazoo Racing Yaris, Toyota is already introducing the third sports model in recent times,” says KW Brand Manager Jonas Ehrmann.

KW Clubsport coilovers - adapted motorsport technology for street cars

KW automotive develops and produces various dampers and complete chassis for numerous customer sport programs of the automobile manufacturers. For example, all Toyota GR Supra GT4s are homologated with a KW Competition racing suspension. The KW Clubsport suspensions also have a damper and adjustment technology derived from motorsport. "With our Clubsport coilovers, we consistently rely on our experience in equipping various touring cars," explains KW Brand Manager Jonas Ehrmann. “New to the KW Clubsport 3-way for the GR Yaris is our revised valve technology. With our new damper design, the external piggy pack is no longer required. ”The adjustable low-speed and high-speed compression valves are attached to the side of the spring struts and the stainless steel rear axle dampers.

The low-speed stimuli that arise from steering and braking, for example, can be fine-tuned with the purple adjustment wheel with 13 clicks directly on the KW Clubsport shock absorber and rear axle damper. Separately, the high-speed compression forces can be adjusted with 14 clicks on the golden wheel. High-speed suggestions for the damper are typically driving over bumps, curbs or transverse joints. The rebound stage, which among other things also influences the rebound of the chassis, is set on the KW Clubsport coilover kit directly on the piston rod with 16 clicks. While the purple wheel on the rear axle damper is firmly integrated into the piston rod holder, the wheel is inserted into the piston rod for adjustment on the front axle. With the aluminum uniball bearings on the front axle struts, it is possible, if required, to further adjust the camber and caster for cornering behavior.

"We recommend our KW Clubsport coilovers primarily to track day enthusiasts who regularly drive a near-series road car on race tracks," recommends Jonas Ehrmann. "Our Clubsport suspensions have a parts certificate and are, compared to our street suspensions, optimized for track day use." With the adjustable multi-valve damper technology, it is still easy to adjust the setup of the chassis to a road setup. "In our documents for the chassis there is always an adjustment manual", continues the KW Brand Manager. "The setup can be changed on the chassis at any time with just a few clicks."

stepless lowering for the Toyota GR Yaris

The KW Clubsport 3-way coilover kit for the Toyota GR Yaris also gives you the freedom to set a stepless lowering. According to the parts certificate, a stepless lowering of 25 to 45 millimeters can be selected on the front and rear axles. The recommended retail price for the coilover kit, which is now available for the GR Yaris, is 3.999 euros.
