With the new KW coilover kit Variant 4 with its coilover struts made of stainless steel, you will give your super sports car the necessary reserves to further increase the driving dynamics. The three way adjustable high-performance shock absorbers with their independent adjustment of the rebound and low speed as well as high speed compression damping are based on the successful racing technology of the multiple overall winners of the ADAC Zurich 24h Nurburgring and depending on the vehicle-specific design, they also feature aluminum top mounts. The new KW coilover kit Variant 4 is developed exclusively for selected high-performance vehicles, which can be driven more safely at the driving dynamics limit with our KW suspension technology.

KW Variant 4 coilovers are a combination of our innovative, race proven technology, as well as decades of experience tuning high end sports cars, super sedans and exotics such as the Audi R8, Audi RS6, BMW M5, Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 SV, Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, Mercedes AMG GT and more. In addition to the individually adjustable ride height the KW Variant 4 coilover kit allows an independent adjustment of the rebound damping as well as the low-speed and high-speed compression damping. Each KW Variant 4 coilover kit is delivered with a vehicle-specific comfort setting and with the integrated adjustment controls the damping characteristics can be set quickly and intuitively transformed to an optimized performance setup.
The 3-way adjustable high-performance dampers in the KW Variant 4 coilover kits feature independent adjustment of the rebound damping utilizing patented TVR-A technology, as well as the low speed and high speed compression damping utilizing TVCLH-A technology. The KW Variant 4 coilovers are based upon successful race technology utilized by multiple overall winners of the ADAC Zurich 24h Nurburgring race.The new KW Variant 4 coilovers are exclusively developed for select high-performance vehicles, which benefit greatly from the KW suspension technology to improve their driving dynamics.
The two-stage, patented TVR-A (Twin Valve Rebound - Adjustable) technology enables a small volume of oil to flow through an adjustable, conically shaped, low-speed bypass during low damper speeds, while in the case of higher damper speeds, the main rebound stage valve opens allowing a larger volumn of oil to flow. This provides a big improvement in terms of ride comfort without influencing the safety-relevant high-speed range. There are 16 precise clicks available for individual settings, so you can choose between more comfort or more body control.
With 6 precise clicks in low-speed and 14 precise clicks in high-speed range of the compression damping, the cross-sections in the Variant 4 valves are decreased or increased, in order to achieve either more or less compression damping. The TVCLH-A (Twin Valve Compression Low High - Adjustable) technology has an engineered blow-off characteristic providing a large cross-section that allows substantial low-speed forces to provice optimum support of the vehicle body without unsettling the body in the case of sudded high damper stimulation induced by the wheels, like driving over apex curbing. The separate low and high-speed settings are always supplied with an additional rebound setting utilizing TVR-A technology for a truely independent 3-way damper setup.
With KW Variant 4 coilovers you can achieve maximum lowering within an approved lowering range that ensures a proper functioning suspension with adequate travel after your car is lowered. Even after years of use you can easily adjust the ride height thanks to the dirt resistant trapezoid thread and composite adjustment collar.
As with all KW coilovers our engineers develop vehicle specific damper and spring specifications which undergo comprehensive testing on the Nurburgring Nordschleife and in our KW 7-post Driving Dynamic Test Center. With a KW Variant 4 coilover kit the driving experience is more dynamic and direct. You are not buying a mass produced, generic coilover kit, a KW coilover has been developed specifically for your particular vehicle. As a manufacturer, KW uses only its own resources, high quality components and the damper technology that has all developed in-house. With the KW Variant 4 coilovers, rolling motion of the body will be reduced during compression giving you the benefit of more direct handling and confidence while driving. For over 20 years, KW automotive has been the market leader and driving innovation as a manufacturer of individual suspension solutions for the road and in all types of motorsports. No matter where in the world, gearheads, automobile manufacturers and reputable tuners rely on our KW coilovers Made in Germany. Every KW coilover kit undergoes extensive stress testing before production and is developed and manufactured exclusively in our company headquarters in Fichtenberg, a small in town in Germany, to meet the high standards of our KW quality management. For us as a German manufacturer, it goes without saying that our KW coilover kits will exceed the original equipment manufacturer quality, and offer useful and innovative solutions. With an application list comprising more than 4, 600 options KW guarantees an outstanding selection backed by our Limited Lifetime Warranty.
As a an enthusiastic car owner you already know that your car’s suspension system is a multiplicity of things including the tires, tire air, springs, shock absorbers, struts, anti-sway bars and linkages and that the job of the suspension system is to support road handling as well as ride quality. In order to accomplish these goals you need a suspension system that accomplishes the task of keeping your car’s wheels on the road where they belong, smoothing out your ride, keeping your car under your control and protecting your car by limiting the impact of unfavorable road conditions. As an extra bonus the right suspension system can provide a more comfortable ride for you and your passengers and can protect cargo you may be carrying. So needless to say you do not want a suspension system that has worn components but you might also want an aftermarket suspension component that helps to enhance your car’s performance. And it goes without saying that you want to buy these parts from a manufacturer you can feel confident will give you a dependable and state of the art product and KW automotive is just such a company and their illustrious history and proven successes will lead you to agree.
Although KW automotive was started as a small company in 1992 it quickly grew through innovations like the KW coilover suspension born in 1996 and they have been on a forward track ever since. One can only conclude that this is due to their desire to offer you only the best and to do what it takes to make that happen.
A prime example of that is their development of an avant-garde test facility in 2006, a 7-post drive dynamics test facility able to simulate a disparity of race track conditions and one of only 15 such facilities around the world with the majority of these used by Formula 1 teams. So you can see how dedicated KW is to making the best possible product and with this kind of technology KW is afforded phenomenal opportunities to test applications for both the automotive and motorsports industry.
This desire is what led to the development of its brand new impressive dampening system known as the “Variant 3” with its patented double adjustable technology and “inox-line” that can be tuned to the driver’s preferences or vehicle modifications. This unique design offers you the ability to increase compression damping force in order to optimize grip from the tires, improve cornering behavior and reduce squat without affecting the rebound damping characteristics
But being content with what they have already accomplished is not the way of KW and for this reason KW introduced the first suspension control unit for vehicles with standard air suspension that can be continually lowered by use of a smartphone application. KW has accomplished what few in the industry have been able to do and that is to offer its customers a preeminent suspension program that includes an outstanding array of products ranging from springs over sports suspensions to coilover suspensions. It is no wonder KW suspension successfully entered the motorsports arena and can boast that their products are used by racing teams worldwide.
All of the aforementioned accomplishments and others are why KW can proudly tout that they are represented worldwide, and now employ in the neighborhood of two hundred people in as many as five locations and that their headquarters in Fichtenberg, Germany is an impressive 247,500 square feet.
