KW Suspension V1 Coilover Kit
$1429.00

If you're looking to amp up your ride without diving into the deep end of the suspension pool, the KW V1 INOX-LINE coilover kit might just be your best bet. This kit is like the gateway drug to street performance. We're talking about some solid engineering here—these coilovers come with high-quality INOX-LINE stainless steel struts that resist corrosion like a champ, plus springs and dampers that are tuned specifically for your ride. It’s all about that balanced, sporty feel, tailored just for your vehicle.

One of the standout features of the KW V1s is their adjustable ride height. You can drop your car as low as the approved range allows, and still keep your suspension working like it should. No one wants to mess with a bottomed-out ride, right? Plus, thanks to the dirt-resistant trapezoid thread and composite adjustment collar, you can tweak your height even after years of use. This means you can keep your car looking fresh without worrying about rust or wear.

Now, let’s talk performance. Each damper is dyno tested before it ever leaves the factory, ensuring that you get the real deal. The engineers at KW have fine-tuned these setups on the legendary Nurburgring Nordschleife, so you know they're built for the track but still practical for everyday driving. Unlike those one-size-fits-all coilovers, these are crafted specifically for your car, ensuring a more genuine driving experience.

With the KW V1s, you’ll notice a reduction in body roll during hard corners, giving you that direct and sporty handling feel. It’s all about enhancing your driving pleasure without sacrificing comfort. And hey, they’ve been doing this for over 20 years—KW is a name that gearheads trust around the globe.

Here’s the lowdown on some of the key features:

  • Composite spring perch: Made from a tough, wear-resistant polyamide composite, these perches have a stainless-steel insert that fights oxidation while maximizing strength.
  • Elastomer bump stops: These bad boys come with a dust protection system to keep dirt and water away from the piston rod, acting as dynamic load limiters while ensuring a smooth ride.
  • Dyno tested dampers: Each damper is thoroughly tested for functionality and accuracy before it’s shipped out. You can trust that what you’re getting works.
  • Inox-Line stainless steel: This stuff is built to last. It won’t wear off while you’re adjusting your suspension, making it corrosion resistant for life.
  • Hand-built quality: Each coilover is assembled by experts and comes with its own unique serial number. You know you're getting something special.
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty: Drive as much as you want; you’re covered.
  • Seamless ride height adjustment: Thanks to the corrosion-resistant materials, adjusting your ride height is a breeze.
  • Preset damping: The engineers have already done the math for you, balancing sportiness and comfort so you can hit the road with confidence.

And just to be clear, this setup fits the BMW 318ti Base from 1995 to 1999. If that’s your ride, you’re in luck!

What Is a Car’s Suspension?

A car’s suspension is the system that connects your vehicle’s wheels to the rest of the car. A suspension typically consists of springs and shock absorbers. Many systems on modern cars are designed as a singular unit, combining the shock absorber and spring into one package (known as a coilover).

What Are the Benefits of a KW Suspension?

KW Suspension kits deliver superior handling and improve the quality of your ride, allowing you to hug corners and drive in difficult terrain without much bumping or jostling. It also protects your car from damage and wear and tear by keeping it elevated above the road. Best of all, you can purchase KW Suspension components at an affordable price, allowing you to get a top-of-the-line upgrade at a reasonable price.

What Are KW Coilovers?

KW coilovers are a type of suspension in which a coil spring allows you to adjust various aspects of your suspension. KW coilovers allow you to change the height of your car, lowering its center of gravity. This allows you to take on turns more aggressively, as well as improve the look of your car.
