KW extend Classic Product Line: Adjustable Porsche 356 Shocks for demanding Porsche Enthusiasts
KW now offers adjustable KW classic dampers for the first Porsche series model, the Porsche 356 – including the 356 original model, A-model, B-model, and C-model as well as the sport versions, convertibles and speedster.
Older suspension- and damper developments, based on the state of technics back when it was launched on the market, could often cause an unharmonious or even hard to control driving behavior at the limit in combination with modern tires. With our KW classic dampers for the Porsche 356, this is not the case.
This suspension kit is not an adjustable KW coilover kit for continuous lowering, but an adjustable damper kit which allows continued use of the torsion bar springs. For the installation, the old series dampers or equipment components are replaced by the KW classic dampers. A modification of the torsion bar springs is not needed; finally the dampers are designed for the original spring rate.
The V2 dampers differ from the older dampers on the original equipment by an adjustable rebound damping (KW TVR-A-technology). Therefore, an increased sportiness and body control as well as increased driving comfort can be optionally adjusted with just a few manual steps directly at the damper. For changing the dampening, 16 exact clicks are available, where each click changes the driving behavior of the Porsche 356.
We deliver the KW classic dampers for street use. The new V2 dampers for the air-cooled Porsche classic are perfectly suitable for the use of current tires with modern carcass structure and tire compounds. As suspension manufacturer we also put a great value on the fact that there are no changes necessary at the installation points.
