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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose the KW V1 for This Application?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContinuously adjustable ride height within the application-specific range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreset KW damping developed for the vehicle application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless-steel KW coilover construction on applicable strut assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo rebound or compression tuning required after installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMake:\u003c\/strong\u003e Volkswagen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beetle (16)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConfiguration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hatchback, 2.5L \u0026amp; TDI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKW Jobber Model Years:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKW Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1028000E\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 30-60 mm (1.2-2.4 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear Height Adjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45-65 mm (1.8-2.6 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront Spring Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Progressive-rate spring (KW jobber designation)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear Spring Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Progressive-rate spring (KW jobber designation)\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 57:\u003c\/strong\u003e Only for cars with a clamp diameter of 54,6 mm on the front axle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKW Note 67:\u003c\/strong\u003e Valving is adjusted by adjustment knobs, rebound is only adjustable if the top of the piston rod is accessible.
