Product Description

The KW Variant 1 (V1) Coilover Suspension Kit delivers a premium suspension upgrade for Porsche 911 (996) models, combining improved handling dynamics with adjustable ride height and everyday drivability.

Developed and manufactured in Germany, the KW V1 system features precision-engineered dampers with factory-preset damping characteristics optimised for sporty road performance. This ensures consistent handling behaviour without the need for manual damper adjustment.

Each kit uses KW’s INOX-Line stainless steel coilover construction, providing exceptional corrosion resistance and long-term durability, even in harsh road environments. The threaded spring perches allow precise ride height adjustment to achieve a more aggressive stance while maintaining optimal suspension geometry.

The result is improved steering response, reduced body roll and enhanced stability under acceleration and braking — making the KW V1 a perfect solution for drivers wanting performance suspension with OEM-level comfort.
