Description
The value of KW Street Comfort on a 2006–2011 Audi A6 (C6/4F | quattro, 2WD) is not just the change in stance; it is the ability to place the chassis in a more controlled operating window for the way the car is actually driven.
KW Street Comfort is aimed at drivers who want adjustable ride height and more disciplined chassis control without making maximum firmness the objective. Rebound adjustment lets the final setup be biased toward a more relaxed road ride or tighter body control as the vehicle and wheel/tire package demand. 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 Street Comfort for This Application?
Choose Street Comfort when road compliance remains a priority. It is aimed at owners who want a lower, more disciplined chassis but do not want a setup whose character is defined primarily by track use.

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.
