Description
For a 1994–2001 Acura Integra (DC2 | rear axle) being developed beyond stock suspension behavior, KW V1 provides a more deliberate foundation for ride height, body control and tire management.
KW V1 combines threaded ride-height adjustment with an application-specific, factory-set damper calibration. It is intended for drivers who want the response and stance benefits of a complete coilover without external damping controls. On a compact performance platform, the payoff is sharper transient response and a more settled chassis as tire grip and cornering load increase.
Why Choose the KW V1 for This Application?
Choose the V1 when you want a complete KW coilover and adjustable stance but prefer KW to define the damper calibration. It is the simplest route into the KW coilover range and avoids adding setup decisions the car may not need.

Enthusiast Setup Perspective
A good installation should leave enough travel for the road or circuit being used. Chasing maximum lowering at the expense of bump travel can work against the very grip and control this system is intended to provide. For a road-driven car, preserving usable bump travel and sensible alignment is usually more important than using the full available lowering range.
Important KW Fitment Notes
