    KW V2 Coilovers question for you guys

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Can you adjust the dampering without raising the car?

    Its a dumb question guys, but I was not able to figure it out looking on googles.

    Briefly, if I go on a road trip with the familly, can I go outside few minutes and change the damper setting easily? Or I will need to jack the car up at every corner to make the adjustments?

    FYI instead of starting new threads you can just follow up in the ones you have already started....

    KW DDC might be what you are looking for

    I know that some of you have the KW V2 ... still want to know if the dampering can be adjusted when they are installed.

    Yes I read that already, but no one seems to know if the damper can be adjusted after the coilovers are installed. Can I spend few minutes before going to the track to adjust the damper? Or it only can be adjusted BEFORE installing those.

    Did you ever get an answer to this question? I just had a set of KW V2 coilovers installed and am looking to adjust a dampening afterward.

    The adjustment is on the top of the shock. In front you would need to cut a hole in the tower shock to access it while mounted. Idk if you can reach it in the back still installed, I think yes you could. Check yourself if you can see the shock top from the trunk by removing the liners.

    AFAIK, the only coilovers system with 100% adjustability once installed is the bilstein pss10.
