KW V2 Coilovers – BMW M3 (E46)
Lowering Range:
20-40mm Front
20-40mm Rear
The KW coilover kit Variant 2 “inox-line” is the suspension kit for the accomplished sports driver who wants a customized vehicle lowering with the ability to make adjustments in setup. The individually adjustable rebound stage damping ensures a better connection on fast road sections and an easier vehicle control. The driving comfort on poor road surfaces can significantly be influenced with a customized rebound stage damping.
Setup – factory-set pre-configured damper setup with adjustable rebound damping
With the KW coilovers Variant 2 “inox-line”, you as an accomplished sports driver can take influence on the handling and comfort with the rebound damping (“TVR-A”-technology) that is adjustable in 16 clicks. This allows you to set the KW dampers tighter or more comfortable, without affecting the bottom valve of the compression stage.
Continuous lowering
The KW Variant 2 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.
CUSTOMIZED SUSPENSION LOWERING
Fulfills Every Wish
KW coilover suspensions, KW coilover springs, and KW DLC AirSuspensions allow the suspension to be steplessly lowered within the framework of the certified technical component report. For example, our Street Comfort products allow for a customized height setting with gentle suspension lowering from 10 – 50 mm, while the Street Performance products allow the maximum technically possible suspension lowering range from 45 – 85 mm, depending on the vehicle. This means that the suspension can be lowered to suit the personal needs of the user and, depending on the product category, a setting ranging from Comfort to Performance can be chosen.
COMPOSITE SPRING SEAT
Because the Devil is in the Details
The KW coilover spring seat is made from a wear resistant and friction-optimized polyamide composite material with a stainless steel insert. In contrast to the anodized aluminum adjustable spring seats, the polyamide composite material prevents any possible oxidation. In combination with the Inox Line, this guarantees the long-term functionality of the height setting.
TRAPEZOIDAL THREAD
The Perfect Height-Adjustable Coilover
In comparison to common coilovers, KW uses a friction -optimized and dirt insensitive trapezoidal thread that displays low adjustment forces. Its large cross-sectional area allows for a higher load-bearing capacity.
INOX-LINE
The Only Truly Permanent Corrosion Resistance
KW’s coilover suspension struts are manufactured from high-quality stainless steel that is rust-proof. In contrast to other solutions, coatings will not wear off while adjusting the suspension settings making KW coilover struts 100 percent corrosion resistant with an unlimited lifespan. Lowering the suspension using the dirt-insensitive trapezoidal thread in combination with the polyamide composite collar guarantees long driving pleasure. Even after years the stepless suspension lowering is not affected by environmental influences.
REBOUND STAGE ADJUSTMENT TECHNOLOGY
Two-Step Rebound Valve with Adjustable KW TVR-A Rebound Stage Damping Technology (Twin-Valve Rebound Adjustable)
The rebound stage damping is precisely tuned to the respective vehicle on our in-house drive dynamics test facility, with the setting fixed in the mid range. Individual customization can be achieved in 16 precise click positions, allowing you to choose between more comfort or more body control. The two-step patented TVR-A technology allows the damper oil to flow through an adjustable, conical low-speed valve during slow piston speeds, while during higher piston speeds the main rebound stage valve opens to handle the flow of large volumes of oil. This provides major improvement in ride comfort without influencing the high-speed in the safety-relevant zone.
