OVERVIEW
The KW DDC (Dynamic Damping Control) Plug & Play coilover kit gives you electronically adjustable dampers that work with the factory adaptive suspension system on the F22/F23/F30/F32. All of the factory adaptive settings, modes and controls continue to operate, so you gain a full coilover setup without giving up the OE adaptive suspension.
The kit is fully height adjustable and its damper tuning presets are matched to the factory adaptive modes. The dampers connect to the on-board electronics through the vehicle's original plugs, so no special wiring modifications are required.
SPECS
- Damping: electronically adjustable, controlled through the vehicle's factory adaptive suspension system
- Plug & Play connection using the vehicle's original damper plugs — no wiring modification required
- Damper tuning presets matched to the factory adaptive drive modes
- Continuously height adjustable front and rear
- Retains all factory adaptive settings, modes and in-car controls
PARTS INCLUDED
- Complete DDC Plug & Play coilover kit as supplied by KW; see the installation instructions for the full bill of materials.
TECH RESOURCES
Additional Parts Required
- A vehicle factory-equipped with Electronic Damper Control (EDC) / adaptive suspension. This kit plugs into the OE EDC harness and will not function on a car without it.
- A four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation. Ride height changes alter camber, caster and toe, and the car must be corner-set to the ride height you intend to run.
- Professional installation by a qualified suspension technician. Coilovers are safety-critical components and KW specifies that they be fitted by trained personnel using the supplied instructions.
- Tire-to-strut and tire-to-fender clearance check. Aftermarket wheel, tire and offset combinations must be test-fitted at full lock and full compression at the ride height you select.
- Recalibration of any camera- or radar-based driver assistance systems after the ride height is changed.
- Installer-supplied items: spring compressor, corner-weight or ride-height measuring equipment, and the factory-specified replacement fasteners where the OE hardware is single-use.
- Vehicles fitted with headlight-levelling or ride-height sensors require the sensor links to be adjusted or relocated so the sensors read correctly at the new ride height.
Installation
