Teaser: KW DDC coilover kit
In a few weeks the KW DDC kit will be installed on my estate. I will be driving it down to KW r&d where they will make one according to estate specs to all other estate owners, this should lead to the product being available for the estate as well, not only the coupe & sedan.
I'll be starting the journey from Finland october 19th and the work will start october 22nd. According to the timetable the car should be ready to be picked up form germany november 2nd.
Psyched!

It is available but as they said, no plug and play is available as our cars natively do not have an electronic dampening control system. I'll know more on monday about how they plan on executing the whole thing. I do know however that if you buy the wlan adapter you can adjust it from your iphone/ipod touch.

So, mixed feelings from today's driving. I started out from Hamburg and drove down to stuttgart. Took it to the limiter several times. Unfortunately i ran into traffic so it still took a while to get down there. I also managed to get a few tickets by the electronic police...we'll see what happens.
Tomorrow i drop the car off at KW, take a train to paris and meet my lovely wife there Next post when i pick her (the car) up

KW sent me 2 pics today from their 7-point rig (suspension tester). Since i can't get the pictures to work in this post, here are the links.

KW has a really clean garage
I'm sure You will be happy with their magic.
BTW I hope they will handwash your car after they're done with adjusting the DDC kit

All in all it's going to be a 1 cm lowering (10mm..). Didn't want anymore since there already is snow on the ground. Going with a more aggressive stance in the spring. Posting pics next friday.

Yeah i know its not that much lower but with the ddc kit the manouverability of the car should be a lot better. How much work is it to lower it afterwards?

The front is very easy to adjust.
