Coilovers in Winter

Undies · 02-07-2011, 11:15 PM

Is it just me or is the ride terribly rough and stiff?

I have KW V2 at about 50k kms.

Please share your experience.

During cold temperatures my coilovers (KWV2's) were a little bit more stiff, but same goes for other coilovers as well.

Yeah, my V3 is stiffer, and makes funny noises in winter...

I notice TTC rider seems to be stiffer too during the winter

Yea my KW V1's feel stiffer as well. Thicker oil during winter time I am guessing (adding more resistance to the piston as it moves)?
