New KW DDC Coilovers for C63 AMG!

Vivid Racing, Bringing you new products first!







KW Suspensions has released yet another revolutionary design for Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen. With the push of a button, you are able to switch from comfort to sport and to sport+ modes. What this does is allow you as the driver to select your damping for varying road conditions or style of driving. When you come up on that perfect road, you simply push your installed KW DDC button and gain more performance from your coilover. After your spirited driving session has ended, you can switch right back to comfort mode to take on the pot holes and uneven roads.

For even further control, you can purchase the WLAN module that allows your DDC coilover to communicate with your Apple iPhone, iPod or iPad. With this app, you have the ability to choose from any percent of damping from 0-100% (0 being max comfort and 100 being max sport). The adjustments are made within milliseconds of selection and you have the ability to store up to 5 different settings.

Installation of the KW DDC Coilover is not all that much different than a traditional system. Not only that, but your KW DDC coilover system still features the ability to dial in the perfect stance within the lowering range of the coilover and still features the legendary V3 quality that has made KW Suspension the premier coilover manufacture.

Plug and Play systems are not available yet but I'm letting you guys know they are in the works!

Yessir!

Last thing KW has to figure out is electronic height adjustment without hydraulics or air, that would be awesome.


Did you guys watch the video? It's pretty impressive

As long as the car has the feature already the KW coilovers will integrate seamlessly into the existing system however the WLAN box and an Iphone gives you more adjustability than the OEM control. I will PM you the price in a moment!

In essence this is the same as the KW V3 but with added electrical options to allow more adjustment of the dampening and ride quality. I will send you a PM now!

FWIW, the C class does not have that feature in the control system to adjust the damper. That's why I'm asking how it's gonna be integrated.
btw, haven't got the PM yet. Would you please send it again?

Hi Arsha,
What will make them more plug and play? Easier fitment when it comes to electronics?
Any ETA for this?

Can you elaborate more on the plug and play issue you mentioned?

Please PM along with pricing.

BMW applications are the only ones I can get right now, however the rest should be coming early next year.

When you just plug them in they only adjust in a similar fashion to the OEM struts. When you get the Wifi box and adjust through your phone there is a larger range of dampening adjustment available.

They haven't been released yet so we don't know of any testing being done. I am sure KW will do much testing before it is released.
