Independently Adjustable Damping for Serious 944 Drivers
The KW Coilover Kit V3 35271010 brings motorsport-derived damping technology to the Porsche 944, 944S, 944S2, and 944 Turbo in both Coupe and Convertible body styles. Unlike single-adjustable coilovers, the V3 kit uses KW's patented TVR-A and TVC-A technology to let you tune rebound and compression damping completely independently of one another. That means you can increase compression damping to sharpen cornering grip and reduce squat under acceleration without disturbing the rebound characteristics that are matched to your spring rate, avoiding the grip loss that comes with single-adjustable systems. High-quality dampers, springs, and elastomer spring elements reduce pitching and rolling during hard braking, acceleration, and evasive maneuvers, shortening braking distances and giving the driver more confidence and feedback at the limit.
