Product details
OVERVIEW
The KW Variant 2 adds adjustable rebound damping to the V1 package, so the car can be fine-tuned without the complexity of a fully adjustable system. Compression stays at KW's preset value while rebound is dialed in for more grip and less body movement, then backed off for a compliant street ride.
Like every KW coilover kit, the springs and dampers are engineered together, so travel and rates are matched rather than combined from separate parts. Continuous height adjustment lets ride height be set precisely, which is useful when running larger wheel and tire packages. The V2 sits between the entry-level V1 and the fully adjustable V3.

TECH RESOURCES
Additional Parts Required
- A four-wheel alignment after installation is mandatory — camber, caster and toe all change with ride height.
- Professional installation is strongly recommended; a lift and spring compressors are required.
- 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.
