Description
On the 2022+ BMW 4 Series (G22/G23/G26 | With EDC, 2WD), KW V2 is best approached as a chassis-tuning upgrade first and a ride-height change second.
KW V2 adds low-speed rebound adjustment to the core KW street coilover concept. KW's current V2 technology uses a 16-click rebound adjuster, allowing the driver to influence how firmly the chassis is supported as the suspension extends after a compression event. 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 V2 for This Application?
Choose the V2 when ride height alone is not enough and you want direct control over rebound. Rebound tuning can be used to influence how quickly the chassis settles after compression and how firmly the body is tied down through transitions.
Key Features
- 16-click low-speed rebound adjustment

Enthusiast Setup Perspective
For an enthusiast build, the practical benefit is consistency. A controlled platform makes steering, braking and tire behavior easier to read, which matters as wheel width, tire grip and alignment become more aggressive. 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 2: Height adjustable front and rear axles (front axle threaded strut housings, rear axle adjustable springs + dampers)
- KW Note 67: Valving is adjusted by adjustment knobs, rebound is only adjustable if the top of the piston rod is accessible. This will depend on the design of the vehicle.
- KW Note 88: Electronic damping control has to be deactivated. Deactivation kit is included in the delivery.
Fitment note: Specifications above are tied to the exact KW part number shown and the application data in the supplied KW jobber sheet. Confirm the vehicle's drivetrain, factory electronic suspension, axle weight and any listed hardware requirements before ordering.
