KW Suspension | State-of-the-Art Damping & Chassis Control
The benchmark for adjustable performance and long-term durability. At Chicane Australia, we provide specialised supply for KW Suspension. Manufactured in Germany and refined on their in-house 7-post driving dynamics rig, KW systems utilise "inox-line" stainless steel technology to ensure your adjustment threads never seize. We facilitate fast sourcing and reliable delivery across Australia for their comprehensive range of coilovers and electronic chassis solutions.
The KW Performance Hierarchy & Valve Technology
KW has redefined the aftermarket with their multi-stage valve technology, allowing for a "stiff as necessary, as comfortable as possible" ride. Their latest Solid Piston (V5) technology, derived from GT3 racing, provides a cavitation-free damping force that reacts with incredible precision. For vehicles equipped with factory adaptive suspension, the KW DDC (Dynamic Damping Control) range offers a seamless "plug and play" solution that integrates directly with your factory drive modes.
Our sourcing capabilities cover the premier KW Suspension range:
• V1 & V2 Comfort: The entry point to premium damping. V1 offers pre-set sporty damping, while V2 allows for rebound adjustment to fine-tune ride quality on VW Golf GTI/R and Subaru WRX platforms.
• V3 & V4 Street Performance: The industry standard for road and track. Featuring independent compression and rebound adjustment, perfect for the BMW M2/M3/M4, Toyota 86 / GR86, and Nissan Z.
• V5 Clubsport & Solid Piston: The ultimate in 4-way adjustability, designed for high-end track builds and supercars like the Porsche 911 and Audi R8.
• HLS (Hydraulic Lift System): A game-changer for lowered cars, allowing you to lift the front or both axles by up to 45mm at the touch of a button to clear speed bumps and driveways.
Based on the Central Coast, NSW, we provide the technical expertise to assist you in selecting the correct damping series for your vehicle's weight and tyre choice. We work closely with our supply network to ensure your authentic German hardware is sourced and despatched with professional care and speed.
KW Suspension FAQ
What is 'inox-line' technology?
inox-line is KW's proprietary stainless steel housing technology. Unlike galvanized or painted steel shocks that can corrode over time, inox-line struts are 100% rust-free. This ensures that the trapezoidal threads remain clean and the composite spring collar can be adjusted easily, even after years of use in harsh environments.
Will KW coilovers void my vehicle warranty?
While KW products are engineered to the highest standards and often used as original equipment on limited-run supercars, warranty policies vary between manufacturers. We strongly recommend checking with your authorised dealer to confirm their specific stance on aftermarket suspension components before installation.
How quickly can you source KW products?
We utilise a robust international and local supply network to provide the fastest possible turnaround. Most KW V1, V3, and HAS (Height Adjustable Spring) kits for popular Australian performance platforms are sourced and despatched within a short timeframe for delivery nationwide.
