The Eibach front upper control arm with camber adjustment compared to the stock control arm with no adjustment. When lowering the car with the stock arms, the camber will introduce negative camber we added the Eibach arms so we can fine tune the camber adjustment after lowering.
It’s no secret that at MotoIQ we’re big fans of KW’s suspension products, therefore it will be difficult to write what hasn’t already been written about their products. Instead of taking my word on it, we thought we would ask the man himself, Klaus Wohlfarth, owner and founder of KW Automotive, why they build the suspensions the way they do at KW.
To paraphrase a bit from the video; modern cars have raised the bar for performance, in turn KW must make lots of calculations to make improvements over the stock components. They use a 7-Post and 4-Post shaker rig used to simulate specific road conditions in order to dial in the shock dampening settings. The idea behind the variant 3 suspension is a holistic approach, making small improvements here and there from the lengths of the housings, the design of the springs and even the shape of the bumpstops. All of this culminates into the combined result in the end which is a better performing suspension that can be customized both in look by setting the ride heights to your desired settings and feel by adjusting the compression and rebound settings.
Torn dust boot and all we bid a final farewell to the stock front suspension, RIP. Minimum lowering is .8″ in the front suspension due to the shorter strut down to 1.8″ with the additional collar adjustment.
