The exact control strategy depends on the application and whether the kit is a Plug \u0026amp; Play or ECU-controlled configuration. On a compact performance platform, the payoff is sharper transient response and a more settled chassis as tire grip and cornering load increase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose the KW DDC for This Application?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronically controlled damping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable ride height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication-specific electronic integration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatched KW springs and adaptive dampers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMake:\u003c\/strong\u003e Audi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Q5 (8R)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConfiguration:\u003c\/strong\u003e all models; all engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKW Jobber Model Years:\u003c\/strong\u003e 08-17\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKW Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 39010041\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront Height Adjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40-80 mm (1.6-3.1 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear Height Adjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45-85 mm (1.8-3.3 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectronic Damper System:\u003c\/strong\u003e DDC ECU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEnthusiast Setup Perspective\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eImportant KW Fitment Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKW Note 2:\u003c\/strong\u003e Height adjustable front and rear axles (front axle threaded strut housings, rear axle adjustable springs + dampers)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKW Note 10:\u003c\/strong\u003e For V2, V3 \u0026amp; Street Comfort coilovers, front shock absorbers need to be removed from the car for adjustment of stiffness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKW Note 62:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not for vehicles with electronic damping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Specifications above are tied to the exact KW part number shown and the application data in the supplied KW jobber sheet.
