Stepless lowering

With our height-adjustable spring kits and Coilover suspensions, you can achieve exactly the lowering you want. Thanks to our engineering, you don't have to compromise on performance or ride comfort. With KW you are always on the safe side.

Customised lowering
Setting in the installed state
Corrosion-resistant setting

Technology > Function & Quality > SD 2 > Lowering > Image-Text Composite Spring Seat

Composite spring discs

We manufacture our spring plates from a friction-optimised composite material with a stainless steel insert. This prevents oxidation between the strut thread and the adjustable spring plate, as occurs with aluminium spring plates, for example.

No oxidation, adjustable for life
Break resistance thanks to 8t load capacity
Only moves when you want it to thanks to locking with grub screw

Technology > Function & Quality > SD 2 > Lowering > Image-Text Trapezoidal Thread

Trapezoidal thread

The KW suspension struts have a dirt-resistant trapezoidal thread. It makes it easy to adjust the lowering and is extremely low-maintenance. Thanks to its large cross-sectional area, it has a very high load-bearing capacity.

Insensitive to dirt
Long service life
Simple adjustment, friction-optimised

Inox-Line

Unlike many of our competitors, we have been manufacturing our KW coilover struts from a high-quality stainless steel alloy for decades. This high corrosion resistance enables stepless lowering - even after many years.

Permanently flawless appearance

Your car, your setup, your driving pleasure

A completely new driving behaviour with every click

Adjusting the driving behaviour of your car without tools and in just a few simple steps is easy with our adjustable damper characteristics Coilover suspensions. Depending on the setup, you can increase the driving dynamics or ride comfort exactly as you want it. You don't need any special tools to adjust your suspension.

Technology > Function & Quality > SF 3 > Setup > Image-Text Compression Setup

Compression adjustment

The compression damping ensures that your car is neither damped too much nor too little. The adjustable compression damping gives you control over how quickly and how much a wheel compresses in the event of a bump. This allows you to further fine-tune our pre-set suspension setup for your car to suit your individual driving experience. With our KW Coilover suspensions, you only use the compression damping to adjust the compression valve.

More body support for higher cornering speeds and vehicle control
Better tyre grip for more traction
Adjustment of the rolling comfort
Fine-tuning the steering precision

Technology > Function & Quality > SF 3 > Setup > Image-Text Rebound Setup

Rebound adjustment

The adjustable rebound damping allows you to influence the rebound. It controls how the spring returns to its original starting position after a bump. Do you want your car to turn in even more directly or would you like a little more ride comfort when travelling slowly? This is exactly what you tune the handling behaviour of your car to with the rebound damping. Completely independent of the compression damping. With our KW Coilover suspensions, the damper setting is always separate between the compression and rebound stages.

Influence on your handling
Better connection to the road
Controls the stability of the body structure during steering movements

Driving dynamics and driving comfort - combined with ease of use

Smarter driving - Drivestyle becomes your lifestyle

Your suspension thinks for itself and you have absolute control over it - the intelligent KW DDC suspension technology makes it possible. All at the touch of a button. Just like our hydraulic lift systems, which raise your car within seconds to overcome obstacles.

Dynamic Damping Control (DDC)

Our KW DDC Coilover suspensions combine stepless lowering with intelligent, electronically adjustable damper control. At the touch of a button, you can switch through the driving modes - from sport programme to comfort setup - or the intelligent suspension control adapts autonomously to the road.

Different driving modes at the touch of a button
Compatible with various chassis control systems
Always the perfect setup thanks to intelligent chassis control

Hydraulic lifting

No more obstacles at last. With our hydraulic lift systems, you can raise your low sports car so that your body no longer gets stuck on speed bumps, steep car park ramps or driveways. Conveniently at the touch of a button and within a few seconds.

Performance setup

Make every road your ideal line

Always the perfect line, whether on the racetrack or on the motorway. More and more car manufacturers rely on our suspension innovations with three- and four-way adjustable dampers for their special high-performance models - and now you can too with our KW dampers!

Technology > Function & Quality > SF 5 > Performance Setup > Image-Text Comp High Low

Separate compression adjustment in high speed and low speed

Don't compromise on performance and be completely free with your suspension set-up. You can intuitively adjust pretty much everything relating to riding dynamics in just a few simple steps. This gives you even more performance options to perfectly match the handling and ride behaviour to the tyres, body stiffness and, above all, your riding style. The adjustable compression damping also allows you to control the compression of your car. Many record-breaking cars on the Nürburgring Nordschleife use this KW technology.

Targeted damper set-up work
Increased mechanical tyre grip
Consideration of body rigidity
Tool-free adjustment

Separate high-speed and low-speed rebound adjustment

You have even more control and more influence on the handling as well as the reaction of your car during load changes with a rebound stage that can be adjusted separately in the high-speed and low-speed forces. This technology even improves the driving dynamics of super sports cars and is based on all our innovative KW Racing technologies. What an adjustable rebound stage does is quickly explained. It controls the rebound and you can adjust this intuitively during setup. Many test winners and lap record vehicles on the Nürburgring Nordschleife are equipped with this KW technology.

Technology > Function & Quality > SF 5 > Performance Setup > Image-Text Unibal

Unibal support bearings

Our weather-resistant and low-wear KW support bearings have high-quality Unibal joints that further improve the handling of your car. Depending on the vehicle, the camber angle can be adjusted for maximum tyre contact area on track days. Even with maximum lowering, you can further optimise the suspension geometry by adjusting the camber. Tip: Only use increased camber values for trackdays, as tyre wear can increase in everyday use.

Optionally with overrun adjustment

FAQ

Can I adjust my suspension myself or do I need special tools?

Most modern coilover suspensions can be adjusted in just a few simple steps by hand (e.g., fine-tuning using compression and rebound adjustment wheels). However, you can only adjust the lowering using a suitable hook wrench to do so.

What is the purpose of the height adjustment feature in KW coilover suspensions?

Our coilover kits feature a thread on the strut that enables you to adjust the vehicle height continuously. This enables you to customize the appearance, center of gravity and handling of your vehicle. Lowering the vehicle height can improve cornering stability and looks more aggressive.

What is the benefit of adjustable damping in a coilover suspension?

Adjustable damping enables you to customize your car's response to the road. Rebound adjustment influences how quickly the suspension extends after hitting a bump, while compression adjustment controls the suspension's reaction when the wheel moves upwards.

Why are high-quality coilover suspensions considered particularly durable?

Premium coilover suspensions such as those from KW suspensions are made from high-quality materials and undergo extensive testing. Thanks to stainless steel housings with high corrosion resistance and the coordination of all components with each other, the suspension works reliably over the long term - even under extreme conditions.
