Opel Kadett C coilovers by KW suspensions: Sporty & safe driving on the road
The Opel Kadett C has a large fan base and is considered a true classic. Weighing between 750 and 950 kg, it is a lightweight vehicle. This is also noticeable when driving: the Kadett C is easy to drive and comfortable in everyday use. We have the right coilover suspension for the two-door coupe and four-door sedan for sporty, firm, and responsive handling. No frills for an original yet modern and comfortable driving experience.
Discover the difference that Opel Kadett C coilovers can make
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.

This coilover suspension offers maximum possible lowering, customized to your vehicle model. You can also change this at any time after installation.

Is it possible to lower the Opel Kadett C with a historic license plate?

Why should I choose KW coilovers for my Opel Kadett C?

You get a modern damping setup without tinkering with the character of your classic car.
