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.

As grip and braking capability increase, damper control becomes progressively more important to keeping the chassis predictable. 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 1:\u003c\/strong\u003e Height adjustable on the front and rear axles (threaded strut housings)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKW Note 9:\u003c\/strong\u003e The automatic level control must be disabled\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 16:\u003c\/strong\u003e Additional assembly parts are required from the automobile manufacturer for vehicles with self levelling control.
