Description
KW DDC ECU Coilovers – 2005–2012 Porsche 911 (997) is built for the enthusiast who wants the suspension to become a functional part of the chassis setup, not simply a visual drop.
KW DDC combines electronically controlled damping with adjustable ride height, giving the vehicle multiple suspension behaviors without relying on manual damper knobs. The exact control strategy depends on the application and whether the kit is a Plug & Play or ECU-controlled configuration. On a performance-focused chassis like this, suspension tuning becomes increasingly valuable as tire grip, alignment and braking capability are raised.
Why Choose the KW DDC for This Application?
Choose DDC when electronically switchable damping is part of the desired setup. It is especially compelling for a street-driven performance car that must cover very different road and driving conditions.

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
- KW Note 1: Height adjustable on the front and rear axles (threaded strut housings)
- KW Note 37: For cars which have electronic dampers, make sure they are shut down. Specific electronical damper shut-downs are available from KW. Please check our accessories list
