KW V1 Coilovers (EDC) – BMW 335i / 340i / 435i / 440i xDrive (F30 / F32)

OVERVIEW

The KW Variant 1 is KW's entry-level coilover kit: damping is preset by KW for a blend of ride comfort and body control, and the driver chooses the ride height. It suits the F30 and F32 owner who is not tracking the car and simply wants a lower, more aggressive stance with better handling than stock.

Because the springs and dampers are engineered as a package, suspension travel and rates are matched rather than mixed and matched, which avoids the coil bind and bottoming that separate spring-and-shock combinations can produce. Continuous height adjustment also makes it easier to set clearance for larger wheel and tire packages. Compared with the Street Comfort kit, the V1 uses stiffer springs and revised damper settings for a sportier ride.

• Wheel spacers may be required depending on wheel and tire sizing and the ride height selected.
• Tire-to-strut and fender clearance must be checked at the chosen ride height before the car is driven.
