Discover the difference Lotus Emira coilovers can make
The factory suspension
Customers report limited feedback from the dampers, especially in poor road conditions. The contact with the road also leaves room for potential in these cases. When used on the track, the standard suspension quickly reaches its limits.
Our KW product
Attention drivers who like to be sporty on the road: With the KW V5, your Emira gets noticeably more control and feedback in handling thanks to 4-way adjustable damping. The damper setup of this Lotus Emira coilover kit is sensitive yet sufficiently firm. Grip is optimised.

Technical component reportFAQS ABOUT OUR LOTUS EMIRA COILOVERS
What is the difference between the KW V5 suspension and the standard suspension?
The KW V5 offers you significantly more control, precision and feedback - without sacrificing suitability for everyday use. With this Lotus Emira coilover kit you get a highly developed solid piston suspension that can be perfectly tuned for dynamic country road driving.
How do KW V5 and V5 Clubsport differ from each other?
The KW V5 is road-oriented with a sporty focus - ideal for the country road. The KW V5 Clubsport, on the other hand, is designed for maximum performance on the race track. It offers an even sportier characteristic curve, enables camber adjustments, and is optimized for use with semi-slicks - ideal for track days.
Can I adjust the suspension to my needs?
Yes, both Lotus Emira suspensions by KW - V5 and V5 Clubsport - offer a 4-way damper adjustment (high/low-speed compression and rebound). This allows you to adjust your setup precisely: comfortable in everyday use or razor-sharp at the limit, without changing tools or electronics.
Is the Lotus Emira with KW coilover suspension too stiff in everyday life?
No, on the contrary: The KW V5 works with solid piston technology, which enables fine damping. This way, the car remains comfortable when driving slowly and over bumps, and only becomes sporty and firm when you want it to be. True to the motto: as comfortable as possible, as firm as necessary.
