KW Stainless Steel Technology "Inox-Line"
Our KW stainless steel alloy "inox-line" coilovers are built to stand for many years of driving pleasure
We consistently set our KW coilover kits to the highest quality standards for perfectly matched components and materials. This not only benefits our renowned racing applications for international motorsport, but also your KW coilovers for the road.
All of our KW coilovers such as Variant 1, Variant 2, Variant 3, Variant 4, Street-Comfort, KW Clubsport 2-way and 3-way and the adaptive KW DDC coilovers are made of stainless steel. Whether it is the strut housing, the trapezoidal thread or the vehicle-specific brackets - we use only stainless steel. Our "inox-line" stainless steel alloy stands the test of time and elements for many years of driving pleasure, not just the life of the car.
- Highly corrosion resistant
- Unsurpassed quality
- No signs of wear at the adjustment mechanism after long term use
- Trapezoid thread in stainless steel ensures ease of ride height adjustment
- High load tolerance
The Real Truth - The KW Salt Spray Test
How resistant are the KW "inox-line" coilovers to rust? We hear from our satisfied customers daily, but we still wanted to know more precisely so we worked together with the University of Applied Sciences in Esslingen DE. The chemists and engineers at the university tested the KW "inox-line" coilover struts made of stainless steel along with nine other coilover struts from six different manufacturers.

Participants/Products:
- KW coilover struts "inox-line" Variant 1, 2 and 3
- KW coilover struts galvanized in Variant 2
- 5 competitors with new, galvanized coilover struts
Evaluation:
- 2x very good KW "inox-line“ Variant 1 & Variant 3
- 1x good KW "inox-line“ Variant 2
- 2x moderately good competitors
- 1x moderate competitor
- 2x poor competitors
Final Test Result of the FH (University) Esslingen:
KW coilover struts in stainless steel technology "inox line" are clearly superior to galvanized versions in terms of corrosion resistance,
and ensure also after 480 hours a smooth operation.
