Description
On the 2011–2023 Chrysler 300/300 C/Dodge Charger (V6), KW V1 is best approached as a chassis-tuning upgrade first and a ride-height change second.
KW V1 combines threaded ride-height adjustment with an application-specific, factory-set damper calibration. It is intended for drivers who want the response and stance benefits of a complete coilover without external damping controls. 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 V1 for This Application?
Choose the V1 when you want a complete KW coilover and adjustable stance but prefer KW to define the damper calibration. It is the simplest route into the KW coilover range and avoids adding setup decisions the car may not need.

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
