KW Variant 1 Coilovers - The Perfect Street Coilover
The KW Variant 1 Coilover system is the ideal introductory system for customers who prefer to rely on the experience of the KW engineers for damper settings, but require the ability to adjust the height of the vehicle to their needs. In extensive driving tests the KW engineers have set the dampers for the best balance between sporty driving, comfort and safety.

KW Variant 2 Coilovers - For the Experienced Driver
The KW Variant 2 is the system intended for the experienced driver who requires to not only determine the individual lowering of their vehicle, but adjust the damper setting to fine tune the system to their needs. The adjustable rebound damper allows adjustment of the pitch and roll behavior of the vehicle, adapting it to one's own driving preferences.

Rebound adjustment can be performed 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.

KW Variant 3 Coilovers - Race Technology for the Road
The new KW Variant 3 is state-of-the-art technology for the discriminating and experience driver. The separate and independent compression and rebound damping options allow a truly individual driving set-up. These unique systems with the 3 adjustable components, allows for adjustment of the compression and rebound of the damper in the low-speed range, allowing you to custom tailor your suspension to your driving needs.

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.
