Description
KW HLS targets owners of the KW V3 – 2009–2024 Nissan GT-R (R35) who want a suspension package selected around the vehicle application rather than a generic spring-and-damper combination.
KW HLS is designed to temporarily raise the vehicle at low speed to clear steep driveways, ramps and other obstacles while retaining a performance-oriented suspension setup. HLS configurations vary by application and may lift the front axle or both axles. 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 HLS for This Application?
Choose HLS when a low performance setup creates a practical clearance problem. The hydraulic lift is intended for obstacles and access situations while allowing the normal performance ride height to remain unchanged during driving.
Key Features
- Hydraulic temporary lift function
- Designed to improve obstacle clearance without permanently raising the car
- Application-specific HLS 2 or HLS 4 architecture
- Compatibility depends on the underlying KW or OE suspension configuration

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.
Important KW Fitment Notes
