Make life easy when negotiating obstacles for sporty cars with low ground clearance. KW HLS lift systems are designed to lift your sports car or lowered vehicle to safely negotiate obstacles such as speed bumps, railroad crossings, road construction, garage approaches and underground car parks. Due to the low center of gravity, many performance cars have less ground clearance than is needed to get over obstacles in the road, and can risk bottoming out doing damage to aero components, under body parts or the oil sump. To prevent the possible risk of damage, these lift systems will hydraulically lift either the front or all four corners, providing extra ground clearance.
More ground clearance by the push of a button
With the HLS lift system you can lift your sports car or lowered vehicle to safely negotiate obstacles such as speedbumps, railroad crossings, road works, garages and underground car parks. Depending on the version of the HLS lift system your vehicle can be hydraulically lifted either at the front axle or on both axles by up to 45 mm.
KW Hydraulic Lift System
This prevents damage to your aerodynamic components, underbody protection or even oil sump. The lift system is available either as a vehicle-specific solution with or without a KW coilover kit, depending on the type of car and the model. If you cannot find your vehicle in our KW HLS product range, our engineers have also developed a universal lift system.
A great solution made by KW. For a wide range of super cars and general everyday cars our HLS is available as an application-specific solution. Included in the delivery are such parts as the hydraulic lines or hydraulic pump adapted to your vehicle, all components will fit perfectly to your sports car.

The lift kit HLS 2 is only installed on the front axle. HLS 4 allows you to lift the entire vehicle. A hydraulic cylinder is installed between spring plate and springs of each KW strut. The great advantage of the hydraulic system is that driving dynamics are not affected.
