Description
KW V2 targets owners of the 1996–2002 Dodge Viper GTS RT/10 (R/SR/RT/10) 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 performance-focused chassis like this, suspension tuning becomes increasingly valuable as tire grip, alignment and braking capability are raised.
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.

Enthusiast Setup Perspective
A 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.
