KW Variant 2 Coilover Kit - 1998-2004 Mercedes-Benz SLK

For more stability and driving comfort. Features adjustable rebound damping.

Drivers who want more than just an outstanding look and lowering for the 1998-2004 Mercedes-Benz SLK within the TUV-tested adjustment range, will find our KW Variant 2 'Inox-Line' Coilover Kit are their perfect suspension solution. The stainless steel struts with corrosion-resistant components provide unmatched durability and give you the possibility to adjust the dampers to your own requirements with 16 clicks of rebound setting.

More comfort or more sportiness - you decide!

As with all KW coilovers, our engineers develop vehicle specific damper settings which undergo comprehensive test cycles on the Nurburgring Nordschleife and on our 7-post rig at our KW driving dynamic center. A KW coilover kit makes the driving experience more dynamic and direct. With the rebound adjustability on our KW Variant 2 coilovers you can have more influence in handling and comfort of the car. With 16 precise clicks you can adjust the KW dampers (more firm or more comfortable) without affecting the compression damping.The rebound valves on KW twin-tube dampers have to be adjusted at the end of the piston rod with an integrated adjustment wheel or the twist-adjuster which is included with the coilover kit. By increasing the rebound force via the adjustment wheel, the body movements are reduced and adjusts the pitch and roll behavior of the vehicle giving you more stability at increased corner speed. If you change for example the wheel / tire combination (approved by the car manufacturer) to larger wheels, then with a KW Variant 2 coilover you will be able to adjust the car's handling and the new wheels perfectly to each other.

Structure and function of a KW coilover kit

A KW coilover with its 100 percent corrosion resistant stainless steel strut housings can be height adjusted at all times. Thanks to our dirt resistant trapezoid thread and durable composite height adjustment collar adjustment is possible after many years of driving pleasure.

The polyamid composite collar:

In contrast to anodized adjustable spring seats made of aluminum, at KW we use a durable polyamid composite collar with a stainless steel insert. So even with the influence from dirt particles, such as brake dust or grains of sand, the polyamide composite collar will not be damaged.
