KW Variant 2 Coilovers (Non-EDC) – BMW X3 / X4 (F25 / F26)

OVERVIEW

KW Variant 2 is the sporty, personalized coilover option with adjustable rebound damping. It is built for the driver who wants to set their own lowering height and then fine-tune the damper behavior to suit their own use of the car.

The adjustable rebound damper controls the pitch and roll of the vehicle, so the chassis can be adapted to individual driving preferences rather than a fixed factory calibration. This application is for F25 X3 and F26 X4 models that did not leave the factory with EDC.

SPECS

• Front lowering range: 1.2–2.0 in
• Rear lowering range: 1.2–2.4 in
• Adjustable rebound damping
• Continuous, stepless ride-height adjustment
• Application for vehicles without EDC
