It’s not often that vehicle manufacturer’s get the balance right between everyday convenience and maximum performance. Often, the standard suspension is the weakest link, and even with numerous assistance systems, the driving behaviour of the vehicle can be disappointing. The transverse dynamics either take place at the expense of driving comfort or it suffers from the intervention of various assistance control systems.
The KW Variant 5 Kit combines KW’s leading race technology along to increase performance with the ability to improve comfort for day-to-day driving. The kit is developed exclusively for high-performance sports cars and saloons.
The Variant 5 features 4-way adjustable high performance dampers in aluminium or stainless steel depending on application. Each unit is height adjustable, and the rebound and compression are each adjustable with 6 clicks at low speed and 14 clicks at high speed. This allows a quick and easy change from a comfort to a performance setup, enhancing the usability of the vehicle.
