Description
KW V2 Comfort Coilovers – 1998–2004 Audi A6 (C5/4B | 2WD) is built for the enthusiast who wants the suspension to become a functional part of the chassis setup, not simply a visual drop.
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. The application-specific calibration is intended to give the chassis a more deliberate response than a one-size-fits-all suspension combination.
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
The tuning opportunity is greatest when the car has already moved beyond basic cosmetic modification. As grip and braking capability increase, damper control becomes progressively more important to keeping the chassis predictable. For a road-driven car, preserving usable bump travel and sensible alignment is usually more important than using the full available lowering range.
