The KW V3 technology

KW V3 technology combines the best of two worlds: driving dynamics and driving comfort. It is proven, sought-after, and special, as only KW has adapted this former motorsport technology for the road. With V3 technology, compression and rebound forces are independently adjustable. Coilover suspensions with V3 technology let you perfectly adjust your car's handling to suit you. You are free to decide whether you want more comfort in everyday driving or a firmer setup.

The KW DDC technology

Many cars come with adaptive damper control ex works. To keep using these functions, we developed KW DDC technology for our Coilover suspensions. At the push of a button, your car drives completely differently with a KW Coilover suspension featuring DDC technology. It gets even better: the DDC technology can take over damper adjustment if desired. Thanks to our years of expertise, our DDC technology is compatible with many original equipment systems. If your car lacks adaptive damper control, we also offer retrofit systems, including suspension control units for selected vehicles.

Semi-active damper control
Compatible with numerous series systems
Available for selected vehicles including wiring harness and control unit

The KW V4 technology

The V4 technology lets you adjust your car's driving behavior separately in the high-speed compression, low-speed compression, and low-speed rebound stages. This gives your car a completely new driving behavior. The V4 technology is so convincing that many car manufacturers rely on our expertise for their limited special models.

The KW V5 technology

Performance in every detail. In every corner. On every race track. We use our KW V6 technology exclusively for motorsport applications. These are solid, piston-motorsport dampers for competition vehicles. The dampers have independent adjustment of high-speed and low-speed compression and rebound forces. A blow-off valve enables precise damper regulation when driving fast over curbs and undulating race tracks #respectthebumps. With KW V6 technology, Aston Martin, BMW, and Porsche have won numerous endurance races and championships, and legendary races such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans, in their classes.

The KW V7 technology

Performance redefined. Maximum control. In every race. We developed the KW V7 technology for the GT3 customer sports program of car manufacturers. We rely exclusively on a damper design based on our proven solid piston principle. The V7 technology covers a significantly wider force range at low gas pressure. Offsetable, flow-optimized valves allow separate adjustment of damping parameters in the high-speed and low-speed compression and rebound stages. Adjustable blow-off valves are also used for the compression and rebound stages. This ensures the racing car remains easy to control when aggressively cutting curbs.
