Porsche 944 coilovers: more driving dynamics for a true classic
The Porsche 944 has balanced weight distribution, precise steering, and a character that inspires many drivers today. But as the 944 has aged, its standard suspension has long been underpowered in driving dynamics. Porsche 944 coilovers from KW are the perfect solution for all those who want to combine real driving pleasure with suitability for everyday use. Moreover, if you want a classic look or are aiming for an H licence plate, go for the Classic Line - same technology, discreet look.
The factory suspension
The Porsche 944 is a popular classic car—and rightly so! Its legendary transaxle design and almost perfect 50:50 weight distribution offer the best conditions for balanced driving dynamics. However, the standard chassis is no longer up to date: many drivers report overly comfortable, sometimes spongy handling. In fast bends or when changing direction quickly, the 944 has a clear tendency to roll.

All available products for the Porsche 944 (Turbo/Turbo S included)
Customized lowering
This coilover suspension offers maximum possible lowering, customized to your vehicle model. You can also change this at any time after installation.
Adjustable compression damping (low speed)
You can fine-tune the low-speed compression damping even after installation. The vehicle's handling and stability will benefit from 12 clicks.
Adjustable rebound (low speed)
You'll notice the difference with every click! Here, you can adjust the low-speed rebound with 16 clicks. This adjusts the ride characteristics, making them either harder or more comfortable.
Aluminium Uniball top mounts
Depending on the vehicle type, the aluminium Uniball top mounts offer scalable camber settings and optional caster adjustment. This enables the camber angle to be adjusted to maximize tyre contact area when cornering, providing even more direct handling.
Additional technologies
Why are Porsche 944 coilovers from KW worthwhile?
Although the Porsche 944 impresses with its well-balanced transaxle design, the standard suspension is noticeably outdated. Weaknesses are particularly apparent when driving in a sporty manner. A modern Porsche 944 suspension from KW suspensions provides significantly more driving dynamics and stability.
What is the difference between the KW V3 and the KW V3 Classic Line?
Both variants share the same two-way damping technology and other technical features. The main difference lies in the look: The KW V3 Classic Line was specially developed for classic cars and vehicles with an H license plate. The discreet Classic Line look is very similar to the original condition.
Is the KW V3 suitable for everyday use?
Definitely - the KW V3 is designed for everyday use on the road. Despite a noticeably sporty set-up, this Porsche 944 coilover kit has sufficient residual comfort. The V3 is ideal for all those who want to drive their classic car sportily and reliably on country roads as well as on longer distances.
Do you offer Porsche 944 Turbo coilovers?
Yes, we also offer products for the turbo versions of the Porsche 944. For the 944 Turbo, there is the KW V3, the Classic Line, and the KW V3 Clubsport. For the 944 Turbo S, we offer the KW V3 and the V3 Classic Line. With our solutions, you can safely bring the extra power of your 944 Turbo (S) to the road or the track.
