suspension system out there--KW's Coilovers! Not only does this system
lower your car perfectly, but it provides

Why do
KW's cost more than other Coilovers?
The answer is simple, you get what you
pay for when it comes to vehicle suspension. As such a crucial component
of your vehicle, suspension is definitely something you do not want to
cheap out on. KW is known for their reinforced and durable suspension
components. KW's coilovers have been carefully crafted and designed by
studying the flaws of competitors and improving on them. In addition KW
coilovers can go lower than just about any other brand and allow you to

In the unfortunate event that anything should happen to your coilovers,
KW's warranty backs all their products from manufacturer's defect.

What are Coilovers?
A coilover suspension basically gives you a matched lowering spring and
shock absorber combination with the added benefit of adjustable ride
height and spring rates through a moveable spring perch or perches.
Coilovers are to your car's advantage by reducing unsprung mass,
increasing suspension travel, and allowing the car to be corner
balanced.

Rebound Adjustment Variant
2 and 3
Rebound adjustment, with the exception of specified vehicles,
can be performed with the kit installed via an adjustment
spindle on the end of the piston rod. The rebound damping
primarily, controls pitch and roll of the vehicle, especially in
the low speed damping range which directly influences handling
and comfort. Therefore vehicle can be adjusted to the needs of
the driver, making the ride variable from comfortable to sporty
and stiff, both with improved road handling |
Pressure adjustment
Variant 3
The compression characteristics are adjusted utilizing a new,
patented valve at the lower end of the damper casing. The number
of pre-installable parameters available for this valve allow for
settings for just about any application required. The unique
low-speed pressure adjustment is the decisive feature of this
technology. In this absorption area the handling of the vehicle
is greatly influenced. An increase in the damping force supports
the vehicle even during compression, thereby preventing pitch,
roll and notably improving cornering behavior.
In association with independent adjustable
rebound absorption the experienced driver has all the parameters
required for effective suspension tuning. |
