By launching the new KW V5 coilover suspension, KW focuses on its successful motorsport suspension technology with KW Solid Piston Technology and modular design with damper valves connected in series. The KW V5 assures precise and fast damping without delay in sports cars and super sports cars. The shock absorbers and valves react directly, even with small spring travel, minimal steering movements, and minor road undulations. Every driving maneuver and every input, such as those generated during braking, acceleration, steering, load changes, and undulations, are damped much more precisely. The KW Solid Piston dampers provide much more platform support to the chassis than conventional dampers and thus, depending on the vehicle body allow for lower spring rates to be used. The KW V5 with adjustable KW SPCLH-A (KW Solid Piston Compression Low- and Highspeed Adjustable) compression damping and the KW SPRLH-A (KW Solid Piston Rebound Low- and Highspeed Adjustable) rebound damping offers significant added values: more sensitive damping, cavitation-free function, precise high-frequency damping, low-pressure gas range from 6 to 10 bar and low hysteresis. The low- and high-speed valve units in the KW V5 coilover suspension, which are built-in series with different valve spring types and main valves, offer the freedom to individually adjust the compression and rebound damping with 13 exact clicks (14 characteristic curves) each in the low- and high-speed range. The KW Solid Piston Technology can also be used to cover a large force range when designing the characteristic curves; all the more reason to enable a completely new type of harmonious damping. The KW V5 allows a maximum or individual lowering within the tested adjustment range. Due to the dirt-resistant trapezoidal thread and the polyamide threaded ring, the continuous lowering can be varied quickly and easily, even after the years.

About these Coilovers

The KW 30971027 coilover kit replaces your car's springs and shock absorbers with matched, adjustable units. Coilovers let you set ride height, and on many kits damping, to suit how you drive, from a lowered daily driver to track use.

Frequently asked questions

What are the benefits of coilovers?

Adjustable ride height, springs and dampers that are matched to each other, and on many kits adjustable damping. The result is sharper handling and a lower stance than factory suspension.

Will coilovers make my ride harsher?

Usually firmer than stock, depending on the kit and settings. Street-focused kits aim for a firm but comfortable ride; track-oriented kits are stiffer. Setting a sensible ride height and damping helps keep comfort acceptable.

What should I do after installing coilovers?

Let the suspension settle, recheck the ride height, then have a four-wheel alignment. Recheck all fasteners after the first few hundred miles, and keep the threaded bodies clean, especially in winter.

Will coilovers work with my wheels and tires?

Lowering reduces clearance between the tire and fender and can change clearance to the coilover body itself. Check wheel offset, tire size and the kit's recommended ride height range before setting the car low.

How do I make sure this coilover kit fits my car?

Compare the part numbers listed on this page with the number on your old part or in your vehicle's parts catalog, and check the fitment information. If you are unsure, contact us with your VIN before ordering.
