ABOUT KW VARIANT 2 (V2) COMFORT COILOVERS
KW V2 Comfort Coilovers combine adjustable ride height with a spring and damper setup that puts everyday comfort first. Developed for drivers who want a lower stance and controlled handling without an unnecessarily firm ride, they offer a complete suspension upgrade for commuting, longer journeys and everyday road use.
With 16-click rebound adjustment and vehicle-specific compression damping preset by KW, V2 Comfort allows you to personalise the driving feel while benefiting from a setup developed specifically around ride comfort.
COMFORT STARTS WITH THE COMPLETE SETUP
KW V2 Comfort uses matched spring and damping characteristics selected to balance comfort with responsive handling. The comfort-focused tuning is built into the suspension package, rather than achieved simply by turning down the damping adjustment.
KW develops the setup for each application through testing on roads and its 7-post vehicle dynamics rig. This provides a coordinated starting point for drivers who find their existing suspension too firm or unsettled and want a more comfortable road setup.
ADJUSTABLE REBOUND TO SUIT YOUR PREFERENCES
KW’s TVR-A rebound valve technology provides 16 clicks of low-speed rebound adjustment. Rebound damping controls how quickly the suspension extends after being compressed, influencing how the vehicle settles after bumps and during changes in direction.
You can refine the settings towards a more relaxed response or firmer body control, depending on your preferences. Defined clicks make changes repeatable and allow you to return to a previous setting.
“Low-speed” refers to the movement of the damper piston, rather than the vehicle’s road speed. Compression damping remains preset by KW and is not altered by the rebound adjuster.
ADJUSTABLE LOWERING FOR EVERYDAY USE
KW V2 Comfort provides continuous ride-height adjustment within the kit’s tested range, allowing you to refine your vehicle’s stance while retaining the range of adjustment intended for its comfort-focused setup.
The lowering is generally more moderate than KW’s Street Performance coilover range, although the exact adjustment range depends on the application. Ride height can be readjusted after installation and is set separately from the rebound damping.
The front and rear lowering ranges for this kit are listed in the Key Details section.
STAINLESS STEEL INOX-LINE CONSTRUCTION
KW’s inox-line stainless steel strut housings provide corrosion resistance against moisture and road dirt. Dirt-resistant trapezoidal threads and durable composite spring seats help maintain height-adjustment functionality over time.
These materials support regular road use and lasting durability, with the flexibility to refine your ride height after installation.

KW V2 OR KW V2 COMFORT COILOVERS?
Standard KW V2 Coilovers belong to the Street Performance range and prioritise sporty road handling with adjustable lowering and rebound damping.
KW V2 Comfort places greater emphasis on ride comfort, using spring and damper characteristics developed for everyday driving and generally more moderate lowering.
Both offer 16-click rebound adjustment with preset compression damping. The difference is the underlying suspension setup and intended use, rather than the number of adjustment clicks.
Choose standard V2 when sportier handling and a lower stance are your priorities, or V2 Comfort when you want adjustable suspension with a stronger focus on comfort for daily driving and longer journeys.
Please refer to the Key Details section and model compatibility list for this kit’s lowering range, suspension requirements and fitment restrictions.
