KW Inox Variant 2 Coilover Kits provide sporty handling with adjustable rebound damping. It is intended for the experienced driver who does not only wish to determine the individual lowering of his vehicle, but also wishes to carry out setup adjustments. The adjustable rebound damper allows you to adjust the pitch and roll behaviour of the vehicle and therefore driving pleasure can be adapted to your own requirements.
As with all KW coilovers their engineers develop vehicle specific damper settings which undergo comprehensive test cycles at the Nürburgring and on KW’s 7-post driving dynamic centre. With a KW coilover kit the driving experience is more dynamic and direct; and with the rebound adjustability of KW Variant 2 coilovers you can have even more influence over the handling and comfort of the car. With 16 precise click you can adjust the KW dampers (from firmer to more comfortable).
The rebound valves of the KW twin-tube dampers are either adjusted at the upper end of the piston rod with an integrated adjustment wheel or a twist-adjuster (that will be included with the kit). By increasing the rebound force the body movements are reduced; your car will stay in line and you will have more stability at increased corner speed.
A KW Variant 2 Coilover Kit is also the perfect choice for someone looking to put larger wheels and tyres on their vehicle. With a KW Coilover Variant 2 Coilover Kit you will be able to adjust the car's handling so that it works perfectly with your larger wheels.
At KW’s headquarters in Fichtenberg each KW Coilover Variant 2 kit is subject to extensive stress tests during production to meet the high standards of KW’s quality management. Every single damper and suspension kit is tested thoroughly. Each kit includes a 2 year warranty. KW coilover struts are 100% rust-free and have an unlimited lifetime under all weather conditions - all parts are designed for long term use.
