New KW DDC ECU Coilovers for Mercedes C63 AMG - Adjust with the iPhone!

KW keeps on innovating!

"German tuning company KW from Fichtenberg has created a new DDC ECU coilover kit for the 457hp strong Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Sedan, Coupe and Estate. The owners can intuitively adapt the damper characteristics to the road conditions and the driving speed with the new app in combination with an optional available wireless module."

Member Jycke has it installed in his estate with very good reviews.

I personally think the KW HLA is more useful day to day. http://www.kw-suspension.com/us/kw_hls.php

Both great innovations from KW.

Just bought a set of KW DDC for my 2009 C63. Putting them on in the next few weeks. I will let you know how they work.

The day KW or any companies will make a set of coilovers where you can adjust the height inside the car... I'm in! I'm too lazy to lift the car to adjust the height on each corners manually. LOL

@Roswell

Hi Roswell,

I don't want to "troll" MBWorld.org but check like "Thrilla" our KW HLS System out:

http://www.kw-suspension.com/us/kw_hls.php


You also can ask about the KW DDC ECU the MBWorld-Member Jycke from Finland... He already post his feedback here:

^^ Hydraulic systems? Is it what we call "airbags" suspension? Looks interesting, and very curious to know how much a system like this cost... probably a fortune.

Electronic suspension dampening systems are always notorious for having issues...especially down the line of ownership...just look at Range Rovers system...I'm not downing it but KW's system may be more advanced...

Hi Roswell,

our KW HLS are no "LORRY-/Truck-Airbags-Airride" ;-)

The advantage of our KW HLS is that there is no compression (motion) of the extended cylinder unit (resulting in no unwanted additional suspension movement) while driving.

A technical question. I am interested in the DDC and more or less decided it on it. My car makes 1000bhp, do I need to notify the vendor to get something different or am I ok with the off the shelf kit?

@GeorgeSmooth

Please forward me your specific technical datas about your car via PM so I can forward it to our technical department.

By the way what do you do with an 1000 bhp car? Is the car more for the quarter mile, Track days or just for fun?

Can KW HLS + DDC ECU be an integrate suspension system so we can remote control both damping and height ?
