KW V5 coilover suspension

With the new KW V5 coilover suspension, KW relies on its successful motorsport suspension technology with displacement pistons and modular as well as series-connected damper valves. The KW V5 convinces in sports cars and super sports cars with precise and fast damping without time delay. Even with short suspension travel, steering movements and minimal road bumps, the dampers and valves react directly.

Compared to conventional coilover and sports suspensions in original equipment and the aftermarket, the V5 relies on our successful damper technology with displacement pistons and modular and series-connected damper valves. In addition, it offers the freedom to further adjust the standard side-mounted valves for the low and high-speed forces of the compression and rebound damping with 14 clicks each exactly to the personally desired driving behaviour. A continuously adjustable maximum lowering can also be selected with the KW V5 coilover suspension.
