lower your BMW with the best suspension possible? Whether you are lowering just
for looks or for the huge performance benefits, we have a KW system to suit your
needs. Coilovers are the best suspension solution as all the parts are crafted
to function together, as opposed to just lowering springs. KW coilovers are
known for their signature colors, individuality, quality, and security. In
addition, KW coilovers are most often the coilovers that allow the most lowering
adjustability compared to other options for your vehicle. Scroll down below
to read more on each Variant and decide which option is best for you!

Variant 3
Race Technology for the
Road
with: Adjustable Compression Rebound Dampening
The new Variant 3
is state-of-the-art technology for the skilled and experienced driver.
The separate and independent compression and rebound damping options
allow a truly individual driving set-up. These unique systems with the 3
individually adjustable components, allows for adjustment of the
compression of the damper in the low-speed range, while the high speed
set-up, so decisive for driving comfort, has been preset by our
engineers

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 set your car to a
"slammed look", "sporty look", or anywhere in between. 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. |
