The KW Variant 1 Coilover Kit is KW’s entry level model for more driving pleasure and fully adjustable lowering.
With the KW Coilover Variant 1 you can achieve maximum lowering within the tested adjustment range. Depending on the vehicle model this varies from between 30 to 70mm and 50 to 90mm. Even after years of use you can adjust the height quickly and easily due to the dirt resistant trapezoid thread and composite collar. Lowering at the front axle is easily changed using our one piece composite height adjuster, on the rear axle this is the same unless the car has a separate spring and shock absorber. The supplied rear height adjuster sits either above or below the rear spring.
KW Variant 1 Coilovers satisfy the performance enthusiast with a sporty basic setup. KW engineers have developed a specific damper setup and spring rate for each vehicle, to increase the driving pleasure with optimal balance of sportiness and practicality. With KW Variant 1 Coilovers the rolling motions of the body will be reduced during compression and you benefit from genuine directness and sportier handling while driving.
