KW Variant 1 Coilovers – BMW 3 Series 6-Cyl (F30)

OVERVIEW

KW Variant 1 is the sporty, balanced option in the KW coilover range, supplied with KW's factory pre-set damping. It is the system for customers who want to choose their own ride height while relying on the extensive driving development KW's engineers have already done to preset the dampers.

The preset valving is tuned for a balance between sporty driving, ride comfort and safety, so there is nothing to adjust after installation beyond setting the ride height you want.

SPECS

• Damping: KW factory pre-set, non-adjustable
• Continuously height adjustable threaded strut bodies
• Damper valving developed and preset by KW for a sporty, comfortable and safe balance
• Drive layout: rear-wheel drive (2WD) applications

PARTS INCLUDED

• Complete coilover kit as supplied by KW; see the installation instructions for the full bill of materials.

TECH RESOURCES

Additional Parts Required

• This kit is listed for vehicles with factory Electronic Damper Control. Because the V1 damper is not electronically controlled, an EDC cancellation module is needed so the car does not log a suspension fault. Confirm with Speed Logic that the cancellation hardware is included with your kit before ordering.
• 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

• Vehicle-specific KW installation instructions are supplied in the box with the kit. Contact Speed Logic if you need a replacement copy. KW publishes no separate damper setup manual for Variant 1 because the damping is factory preset and not adjustable.

Notes

• Model-year ranges above reflect standard BMW chassis and engine production years for the listed applications. Confirm exact fitment for your VIN with Speed Logic before ordering.
