Why choose KW Variant 2 for your E46
KW engineers develop vehicle-specific damper settings through comprehensive test cycles including the Nürburgring Nordschleife and KW’s 7-post dynamic test centre. With KW V2 coilovers you get a more dynamic, more direct driving experience with the ability to tailor rebound to suit your tyres, wheels and roads. Increase rebound via the integrated adjuster to reduce body movement and gain stability at speed, or soften for extra comfort on poor surfaces. Adjustments do not affect the compression base valve, so balance remains consistent.

- 16-click rebound adjustment via top of piston rod or supplied twist-adjuster, depending on application
- Twin-tube damper design with vehicle-specific valving
- Stainless steel Inox-Line bodies - 100 percent rust-free in all weather conditions
