Coilover suspension V5 (incl. deactivation for electronic dampers)

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.

In contrast to traditional shocks with valves in the inner tube, KW coilovers and KW dampers with Solid Piston use a valve arrangement that is separate from the damper inner tube and piston rod. 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 14 exact clicks (14 characteristic curves) each in the low- and high-speed range.

- 4-way adjustable high-performance dampers with coilover struts made of aluminium
- Solid Piston technology
- Separate and independent damper setup in:
- Low speed Rebound damping with 14 exact clicks + (tighter) / - (more comfortable)
- High speed Rebound damping with 14 exact clicks + (tighter) / - (more comfortable)
- Low speed damping with 14 exact clicks + (tighter) / - (more comfortable)
- High speed damping with 14 exact clicks + (tighter) / - (more comfortable)
- Two basic setups with comfort adjustment and performance setup

Product Disclaimers:

• Note 1: Height adjustable on the front and rear axles (threaded strut housings)
• Note 88: Electronic damping control has to be deactivated. Deactivation kit is included in the delivery.
• Note 90: Aluminium suspensions struts
• Note 67: Dampers are adjusted by easily operating adjustment wheels. Rebound is only adjustable if the top of the piston rod is accessible. This will depend on the vehicle construction.
