Description
KW V2 targets owners of the 2012–2018 Volkswagen Jetta VI who want a suspension package selected around the vehicle application rather than a generic spring-and-damper combination.
KW V2 adds low-speed rebound adjustment to the core KW street coilover concept. KW's current V2 technology uses a 16-click rebound adjuster, allowing the driver to influence how firmly the chassis is supported as the suspension extends after a compression event. On a compact performance platform, the payoff is sharper transient response and a more settled chassis as tire grip and cornering load increase.
Why Choose the KW V2 for This Application?
Choose the V2 when ride height alone is not enough and you want direct control over rebound. Rebound tuning can be used to influence how quickly the chassis settles after compression and how firmly the body is tied down through transitions.
Key Features
- 16-click low-speed rebound adjustment

Enthusiast Setup Perspective
For mixed street and performance use, start from KW's baseline settings and make changes one variable at a time. That gives the driver a repeatable way to separate genuine setup improvement from simple changes in ride feel. 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
- KW Note 2: Height adjustable front and rear axles (front axle threaded strut housings, rear axle adjustable springs + dampers)
- KW Note 57: Only for cars with a clamp diameter of 54,6 mm on the front axle
- KW Note 67: Valving is adjusted by adjustment knobs, rebound is only adjustable if the top of the piston rod is accessible. This will depend on the design of the vehicle.
Fitment note: Specifications above are tied to the exact KW part number shown and the application data in the supplied KW jobber sheet. Confirm the vehicle's drivetrain, factory electronic suspension, axle weight and any listed hardware requirements before ordering.
