The factory suspension

Even today, the Opel Kadett C continues to impress with its low weight and light-footed handling. The comfortably tuned suspension ensures pleasant everyday use, but shows a tendency to understeer and is less precise at higher speeds. Nothing unusual for a vehicle from the 1970s. Anyone looking for more feedback, direct handling, and a sporty, agile coilover suspension will certainly benefit from a modern KW coilover suspension upgrade.

Our KW products

The KW V3 coilover suspension gives the Opel Kadett C a modern upgrade that lets you adjust the lowering and damping to your own preferences. This makes the car's handling more direct and the feedback more precise. If you value a contemporary look, the KW V3 Classic Line is the solution for you: these discreet coilover suspensions combine a contemporary look with modern technology, ideal for vehicles with H license plates. The V3 from the Classic Line can be recognized here by its black spring. Both the KW V3 and the KW V3 Classic for the Kadett C have a stainless steel strut.
