Got it. Thanks!!
My updates via email must be broken, because I completely missed your post. Great information and thank you very much for the post and pictures.
Thanks for the new info!! Speaking of them, I emailed Delsing about the camber plates for the KWs and never heard back. I wonder if he is long gone?...
If you contacted them through the forum then I would guess you are out of luck. I think they packed things up when they stopped producing the clunk fix brackets. Who knows, they may be long gone from the Mazda scene for good. I sent an email to them using the address on their web site. The thread will be updated if I hear back from them.
I used this email: http://www.delsingmotorsport.com/contact.htm
No worries, I will see if the AWRs will work.

Yeah, I contacted them through that email address to. AWRs will work, as that is what Tri-Point uses on the coilovers they build.
Cool, any idea of the shaft diameter on the KWs?

I have NEVER heard of those, and I won't be adding it to the list until there is more information available. The photo in the picture looks like a P5 with an MSP body kit and possibly turbo with FMIC, judging by the side mounted license plate.Came across these awhile back, didnt see them on the list.

Some time ago he sold all his designs and left the Mazda market. I bought them and have been looking to produce some of the parts if there is a demand for them. I have been busy with a Saturn Sky/Pontiac Solstice turbo kit design so I have not had time to put into this recently.

understandable, I was just putting it out there, if i find anymore info i'll post a link
*bump*
Are there any new options out there that aren't on the list? I'm pretty much sold on the AWR setup, just because I can get them for $500 less that list price. So I can get those at the same price it would cost me to build my own Koni insert/GC coilover setup, save me the labor, and I'll still have stock struts sitting around for use later on.
Besides Jas00x, is anyone else running the AWR coilovers?

I'm still running my AWR/Koni coilovers, but they are now on my 1st Gen Protege.
BC Racing has a set for the Proteges. You can get specific springrates, and they'll have the dampers valved accordingly. They are sold in kg/mm instead of lb/in. Here's a chart of the approximate conversions:

With the current valving i can go +/- 2kg in either direction. If you have any questions PM Wayne (apexlater). Check my sig for install pictures.

I ran the AWR's for a while (before I sold the car). They were great on the track, but there are some things that could be improved upon. You could search some of my old threads to see some of my thoughts. I still have the coilovers in my garage. I'd like to get rid of them since they just take up space. I'd let them go for about $1200. PM me if interested.
I'm running some now. Bilstein inserts with 450#fr/600#rear springs. Only one autocross on them so far, so I can't comment too much.
