KW CLS 63 2012 Coilover Lowering Kit

Pricing $949


CLS 63 2011+ Lowers front 20-30mm and rear 20mm

Details:
The KW Coilover spring kit is used for lowering the vehicle in combination with the serial dampers, even when electronic damper control is installed. This lowering solution from KW optimises the dynamic performance and the steering behaviour without the electronic damper control deactivated. For this solution vehicle specific adjustable spring seats with adjusted KW lowering springs and the matching elastomer as well as the dust cover system will be used. This complete conversion allows an individual adjustable lowering solution. -- --
Individual height adjustability of the serial suspension kit --
Serial suspension system
also with electronic damper control
stays active --
Improved optic and vehicle dynamics --
Optimal performance --
Better steering behaviour --

I'm going to work on pictures tomorrow with KW but just figured this was something new that everyone hasn't seen yet and works with springs/air ride

They are working on getting me CLS pictures.

Here is the kit for the GTR, would be the same fronts parts on the left threaded spindle with springs that fit to the stock coilovers. The rears use a lowering link to bring the car down 20mm.

So this works 100% with the different suspension settings on the dial? Please elaborate.

Yes it doesn't alter your stock dampener or the electronic adjustment that is made.

Your factory dial can still go into the different modes and the car will still react.

a car that gets very poor gas mileage.
These coil-overs have already been used by Wheels and More, on their project CLS63:
www.autoevolution.com/news/wheelsandmore-gives-2011-mercedes-cls63-amg-new-wheels-and-more-34132.html

In that link you can see how the car sits with this suspension kit.

I need to get this.

So are you stuck with the max drop in the rear of 20mm? To me 20mm is not enough aka 4/5's of an inch or so...

How does the ride compare to a performance package car? More aggressive? Softer? What?

The nice thing with KW is they are progressive rate springs so still soft ride until you push the car, they will be stiffer than factory but your still using the factory dampeners. Overall the suspension will handle much like factory just a better overall appearance.

I am a authorized KW dealer. I have lowered many 212 E63's and 1 218 CLS63. My rep at KW said there is nothing available for the 218 CLS 63. But I am working with KW to make a perfect kit.
