KW – New State of the Art Variant 4 Coilovers
The experience of numerous refiners and sports car drivers shows that most vehicles rarely create the balancing act between everyday convenience and maximum performance. Often the standard suspension is the weakest link, and even with numerous assistance systems, the driving behavior at the vehicle dynamics limit can often be marginal. The transverse dynamics either take place at the expense of driving comfort or suffers from the intervention of various assistance control systems.
Even long journeys can become torturous. Don't believe it? Then you have not read the detailed review of the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat in TOPGEAR. This is one of the reasons why we have developed the KW variant 4. Some automotive journalists are already familiar with the new KW variant 4 with their triple-adjustable high-performance dampers with their independent setting of the rebound stage as well as the low-speed and high-speed compression damping. In the sports car issue 9/2016 the BMW M4 GTS in the Super test on the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
24-hour driver and sports car editor Christian Gebhardt stated: “Grandiose chassis with great attention to detail – the chassis tuning has been superbly achieved, and you can immediately feel how much detail work has been invested here. Compared to the series M4, the GTS is even more precise. On load changes it reacts hardly perceptibly and absolutely good-naturedly. Expectedly, the M4 GTS surpasses its M4 base and its E92-GTS predecessor … is also the very good suspension adjustment of the newly developed three-way helical gear.” Have we promised too much? Hardly likely.
The KW Variant 4 is developed exclusively for super sports cars, sports cars and high-performance sedans. We manufacture this option for the most common suspension geometries, such as with McPherson struts, spring struts for cross-link or multi-link axles, as well as push-rod style suspensions made of aluminum or stainless steel
We combine our leading race technology with a clear benefit in everyday life for numerous high-performance vehicles in our KW Variant 4 coilover. This allows an independent adjustment of the rebound damping as well as the low-speed and high-speed compression damping. For example, KW provides Variant 4 with a vehicle-specific comfort setting. By means of the adjustable dampers, drivers can, if necessary, switch quickly to a performance adjustment with the integrated setting wheels on the damper.
With 16 exact clicks, the rebound damping adjustment wheel allows you to adjust the rebound forces for a tighter handling or more comfort. For an even more individually tailored driving behavior, the three-way high-performance shock absorbers can also be adjusted in the low-speed and high-speed compression stages, independently of the rebound.
Quite simply separately on the remote reservoir with six clicks in the low-speed range and 14 clicks in high-speed range. As a result, the variant 4 allows a targeted influence on the deflection behavior, improved cornering stability, reduced roll inclination and other parameters with regard to driving and transverse dynamics as well as driving comfort.
The new KW coilover variant 4 is already available for the first super sports cars, sports cars and performance sedans. In detail: Audi R8 (42), Audi RS6 (C7), BMW M5 (F10), Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, Lamborghini Aventador and Lamborghini Gallarado. The Variant 4 has a part certificate and also allows a stepless lowering.
