Audi R8 4S KW Suspension – Street Performance Coilover V5

KW Suspension Street Performance Coilovers Variant 5 For The Audi R8 4S. Four-Way Adjustable Dampers. Rebound & Compression Adjustable.

The new KW V5 coilover suspension, KW focuses on its successful motorsport suspension technology with KW Solid Piston Technology and modular design with damper valves connected in series. The KW V5 assures precise and fast damping without delay in sports cars and super sports cars. The shock absorbers and valves react directly, even with small spring travel, minimal steering movements, and minor road undulations. Every driving maneuver and every input, such as those generated during braking, acceleration, steering, load changes, and undulations, are damped much more precisely. The KW Solid Piston dampers provide much more platform support to the chassis than conventional dampers and thus, depending on the vehicle body allow for lower spring rates to be used.

In contrast to traditional shocks with valves in the inner tube, KW coilovers and KW dampers with Solid Piston use a valve arrangement that is separate from the damper inner tube and piston rod. The low- and high-speed valve units in the KW V5 coilover suspension, which are built-in series with different valve spring types and main valves, offer the freedom to individually adjust the compression and rebound damping with 14 exact clicks (14 characteristic curves) each in the low- and high-speed range.

Installation

We’re able to offer installation of this system to your vehicle at our workshop here in Poole, Dorset.

Typically installation for a system like this should take approximately a full day to complete. As part of the installation a 4-wheel alignment must be carried out once the suspension has been completed. In some cases we may require that your vehicle is kept overnight.

Please get in touch for more info on the installation aspect and pricing.
