KW group Brand ST Suspensions Join Forces with Ryan Tuerck Racing
Ryan Tuerck is kicking off the 2025 motorsports season with a familiar and powerful partner for his build and competition programs. Tuerck will campaign ST Suspension XTA plus 3 coilovers on his Rain-X Toyota GR Corolla in the Formula Drift Championship and will exclusively utilize products from the KW automotive brand family across his portfolio of creative builds.
“It feels like coming home,” said Tuerck. “KW Suspensions was one of my first partners when I started racing professionally, and it’s exciting to have the chance to collaborate with the entire KW Automotive family again across all my builds and competition vehicles.”
Along with the new ST Suspension setup, which will debut at the Formula Drift season opener in Long Beach, California on April 4-5, Tuerck is collaborating with engineers from KW group to develop custom suspension systems for some of his signature builds. These include the Mobil 1 heritage Stout project, featuring a bespoke Belltech suspension, a 90s rally-inspired Toyota Celica with a Reiger Rally Suspension, and the Formula Supra, which is set to undergo testing for Time Attack with a specially developed KW Suspensions race setup.
“We are thrilled to welcome Ryan Tuerck back into the KW Automotive family,” said Michael Belcher, Director of Sales and Marketing for KW Automotive North America.
“Ryan’s unique mix of competitive motorsports and creative automotive projects showcases the versatility of our premium suspension products, and we’re excited to support him across his many endeavors.”
