The exact control strategy depends on the application and whether the kit is a Plug \u0026amp; Play or ECU-controlled configuration. The application-specific calibration is intended to give the chassis a more deliberate response than a one-size-fits-all suspension combination.\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 Mercedes-Benz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e SLK 55 AMG (W172)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKW Jobber Model Years:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKW Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 39025008\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 5-25 mm (0.2-1.0 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear Height Adjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15-35 mm (0.6-1.4 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\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eImportant KW Fitment Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\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\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.
