Is your sport suspension kit is too hard for you? Do you want a sporty yet dynamic suspension while retaining ride comfort? With street comfort suspension KW offers you the solution, you can create that sportive look while keeping as much comfort as possible. Long trips on the highway will be a pleasure; fun can be had on county roads.

KW street comfort – The most individual sport suspension with maximum comfort

With the individual height adjustable KW street comfort coilover kit a lowering of 10-40 mm can be realized, depending on the vehicle. This way the customer has the flexibility to improve the look, with consideration of bigger wheels and tires. At the same time the lowering has a positive effect on the driving dynamics and road contact. With discreet but effective lowering more spring travel will be left to combine a comfortable spring with harmonic damper, this way the best driving comfort is guaranteed. With this product KW offers the perfect compromise of driving dynamic and driving comfort.

• Maximum driving comfort for a perfect performance and more driving pleasure
• Guarantees more comfort, flexibility and sportive as regular OE sport suspensions
• Comfortable adjustment
• Better handling due to less body roll
• With TÜV tested adjustment range for a individual lowering of 10 to 40 mm
• Trapezoid thread for a easy height adjustability
• High quality damper components for a long durability
• Adjustable rebound damping
• Complete delivery content inclusive detailed documentation for a easy use

Rebound damping

As far as it is technically possible the rebound damping is carried out integrally via an adjustable spindle at the end of the piston rod. In the first lie, the rebound damping controls car body vibrations, but also influences handling and comfort in the low-speed damping range.

With the rebound damping, the car can be adjusted to the requirements of the driver, from a comfortable rolling motion to sporty tension with an improved connection to the road.

1. Rebound adjustment included in the piston rod for protection of the valve technology   2. Piston rod steering- and sealing kit   3. Valve technology traction stage   4. Valve technology compression stage

Piston rod steering- and sealing kit Our modular sealing system surpasses the usual OEM standards. It can be easily opened due to its aluminium bolting and therefore allows a later, custom-made adjustment of the valve technology or the deviation ratio. 1. Bolting made of high-strength aluminium   2. Self-greasing NBR seal   3. Clamp-/sliding sleeve   4. O-ring made of temperature-resistant viton   5. Guide bushing with ventilation holes   6. Especially coated DU sliding bushing   7. Rebound pods

Valve technology traction stage

Oil flow during closed traction stage

• Bypass duct in the traction stage adjustment is closed
• Declining increase of the characteristic line and the maximally possible traction damping is achieved
• The damping is carried out by the setup-specific preset spring valve at the piston.

Result:
A sporty and tense adjustment of the traction stage prevents rolling and pitching while braking and accelerating.

Oil flow during open traction stage

• Bypass duct in the traction stage adjustment is open
• Progressive increase of the characteristic line and the minimally possible traction damping is achieved
• The bypass oil amount (black arrow) is not available anymore for the spring valve at the piston and the damping forces are therefore reduced.

Result:
A lower rebound damping improves the driving comfort.

Valve technology compression stage

Oil flow during closed compression stage in the base valve

Spring- loaded bypass valve of the compression damping in a closed state before the compression stage is activated.

 

Position of the bypass valve with increasing piston rod velocity

• During slow piston rod velocity (black arrows), the oil flows over the bypass valve
• the maximum compression damping (white arrows) is carried out via the spring-loaded piston valve
• the closed compression stage creates a progressive characteristic line of compression damping

Result:
A sporty and tense adjustment of the compression stage prevents the vehicle from rolling in curves.

Oil flow during opened compression stage in the base valve

Spring-loaded bypass valve of the compression damping in an opened state before the compression stage is activated

Position of the bypass valve with increasing piston rod velocity

• During slow piston rod velocities (black arrows), the oil flows over the bypass valve
• The maximum compression damping (white arrows) is carried out by the spring-loaded piston valve
• By the opened bypass valve, a declining characteristic line of the compression damping in the low-speed range is achieved

Result:
The (safety-relevant) support of the vehicle in the high-speed range of the damping is not influenced during an opened or closed compression stage and is therefore always ensured
