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 10\/96–05 Volkswagen Passat (B5 B5.5 3B 3BG)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConfiguration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sedan + Wagon; Syncro\/4motion; all engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKW Jobber Model Years:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10\/96-05\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKW Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15280017\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 40-75 mm (1.5-2.9 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear Height Adjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40-75 mm (1.5-2.9 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront Spring Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 690 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 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.\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.
