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. 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 V2 for This Application?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16-click low-speed rebound adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContinuously adjustable ride height within the application-specific range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication-developed spring and damper package\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUseful tuning range for street, canyon and fast-road setups\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\u003eCatalog Application:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1998–2010 Volkswagen Beetle (Convertible)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConfiguration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Convertible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKW Jobber Model Years:\u003c\/strong\u003e 98-10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKW Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15280043\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 25-55 mm (0.9-2.1 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear Height Adjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25-55 mm (0.9-2.1 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront Spring Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 340 lb\/in\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 6:\u003c\/strong\u003e When using original tires, wheel offset spacers may be required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKW Note 7:\u003c\/strong\u003e When lowering more than 40 mm, the anti-sway bar must be retrofitted.
