The Big Suspension Comparison
The Factory Suspension
The Mustang VI (LAE) combines independent suspension and rear-wheel drive with a model-specific, comfort-oriented setup for the road and a sportier feel for track days. During fast cornering or load changes, roll, pitch, and oversteer may be noticeable, depending on the model. Drivers who want more precise steering response or the ability to adjust the vehicle’s ride height to their preferences can get even more out of their car with a KW coilover suspension system tailored to their vehicle model and intended use.
KW V1
Want to lower your Ford Mustang and achieve a balanced street setup without having to adjust the damping yourself? The KW V1 combines a tested, vehicle-specific height adjustment range with a fixed, sporty yet harmonious damper characteristic curve. This makes it ideal for drivers who want to effortlessly combine style with controlled handling—without any adjustment hassle!

Technology Highlights
Customized lowering
This coilover suspension offers maximum possible lowering, customized to your vehicle model. You can also change this at any time after installation.

You can fine-tune the low-speed compression damping even after installation. The vehicle's handling and stability will benefit from 12 clicks.
Adjustable compression damping (high-speed)
You can fine-tune the high-speed compression damping even after installation. Up to 15 clicks allow you to adjust vehicle handling and stability.
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.

Are you interested in the BBS wheels on this Mustang?
The high-quality BBS CI-R unlimited wheels give the Ford Mustang an impressive, sporty and elegant look. Available in the exclusive colours white gold and platinum silver, they set strong accents and perfectly match the powerful lines of the vehicle. You can easily find the right size for your Mustang model in the BBS shop.
MagneRide and KW Cancellation Kit
If your Ford Mustang GT is equipped with MagneRide, you must also take the stock control system into account when switching to a suspension without electronic damper control. A matching KW cancellation kit, included in the delivery, deactivates the stock damper control system to prevent error messages from appearing; other control systems remain active. The deactivation can be reversed at any time. To check whether the suspension you want is available for your LAE/S550, enter your vehicle information into the configurator in the online store.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Ford Mustang coilover suspension is right for my S550/LAE?
That depends on the engine, model year, body style, axle load, and stock suspension. The KW V1 and KW V3 coilover kits are designed for street use, while the Clubsport variants—the V3 Clubsport and V4 Clubsport—are primarily designed for track days. Always check specific availability using your vehicle’s details in the online shop configurator.
Can I use the KW V3 to tune the Ford Mustang's suspension for a more comfortable ride?
Yes, the 16-click rebound adjustment and 12-click low-speed compression adjustment allow you to adjust the suspension to be stiffer or softer. This gives you flexibility in terms of feedback, rebound, and overall comfort. The right setting also always depends on your vehicle model, tires, and intended use.
How much can I lower my Ford Mustang?
The permissible adjustment range varies depending on the Mustang model, axle load, and the selected coilover suspension. Therefore, we cannot provide a general specification in millimeters. Simply select the model year, engine type, and trim level in the configurator in the online store to see the appropriate lowering range.
Which coilover suspension is suitable for which type of driver?
The KW V1 is our straightforward solution for drivers who want continuously adjustable lowering without subsequent setup adjustments. The KW V3 is our all-rounder for normal road use. The KW V3 Clubsport is designed for ambitious track-day drivers who also want to use their vehicle on public roads. The KW V4 Clubsport offers maximum performance and fine-tuning options for the racetrack while remaining street legal.
