KW for Porsche

For many years, the KW automotive GmbH has been the epitome for premium products in car tuning and automobile refinement. KW offers its Porsche customers the largest suspension program world-wide. The entire assortment – from springs over sports suspensions to coilover suspensions “inox-line” in various damping versions – such a variety of products is unsurpassed on the market.

Choosing the Right Fit for Your Porsche

Where KW is listed for Porsche, use the supplied model coverage and OE references to confirm suitability. Check details that commonly affect fitment such as model year, side/position, and connector type where relevant.

• Typical reasons to choose KW suspension include improving grip and balance, tuning ride height for stance and geometry, and building a setup that works for fast road or occasional track use.
• Common issues if things are not set up or maintained correctly include clunks, squeaks, uneven ride height, harshness and instability, often linked to incorrect preload, worn top mounts, seized adjusters, poor alignment or running too low.
• For best handling balance, especially on track-focused setups, corner weighting is recommended; always plan for a proper alignment after suspension changes.
• Ride comfort and behaviour depend heavily on ride height, spring rates and damper settings, so set height sensibly, keep adjusters clean, and maintain the system to avoid seized threads or inconsistent response.

If you already know the area you are working on, start with the category and then filter by Porsche model. Where real-world symptoms and typical reasons to replace are provided, use them to keep the wording grounded.

Suspension Upgrades — Suspension upgrades are typically chosen to improve body control, cornering balance and steering response, or to tailor the car for specific use such as road comfort, fast road, or track days. You may change brand or type based on desired ride height, damping adjustability, and how firm you want the setup to feel; poorly matched setups can introduce harshness or instability if geometry is not corrected.

• Plan upgrades around a clear goal (comfort vs response) and budget for proper alignment and, where appropriate, corner balancing after changes.
• Matching components and settings as a package usually gives a better result than mixing unrelated parts.

KW Variant 1 Inox Suspension kits — KW Variant 1 Inox-line coilover kits provide Porsche owners with a high-quality, height-adjustable suspension package where damping is pre-set by KW’s engineers. They suit drivers who want a neater stance and more controlled feel than tired factory suspension without the complexity of adjustable damping, assuming ride height is set sensibly and the car is aligned correctly.

• Alignment is required after installing or significantly adjusting coilover kits to ensure predictable handling and even tyre wear.
• Keep threaded bodies and collars clean and protected so ride height remains adjustable and corrosion is minimised over time.

KW Variant 3 Adjustable Suspension kits — KW Variant 3 coilover kits add independent adjustment of rebound and compression damping alongside ride height, allowing detailed tuning of how your Porsche reacts to bumps, weight transfer and different tyres. They are often chosen when you want maximum flexibility for fast road and occasional track use and are prepared to invest time in setup and geometry.

• Corner balancing is recommended for the best results, particularly on more track-focused or highly tuned cars.
• Make one change at a time, record your settings, and regularly maintain adjusters to avoid seizure and keep tuning options available.

Special Offer Parts — Special offer parts are typically used when tackling known Porsche wear items such as service components, brakes or suspension consumables, allowing you to refresh multiple parts together without compromising on brand quality.

• Confirm exact Porsche model and year fitment before buying discounted items so savings are not lost on returns or incorrect parts.
• Use offers to group jobs (for example, full axle refresh) and reduce repeated labour rather than replacing single items in isolation.

Suspension & Axle — Suspension and axle components on Porsche models are replaced to restore steering precision, stability and consistent tyre wear. Real-world symptoms include clunks over bumps, wandering steering, vibration, sagging ride height and uneven tyre wear; upgrades are also common when owners want sharper response or more stable braking and cornering.

• Always budget for an alignment after replacing key suspension or axle components, and consider replacing parts in axle pairs to keep behaviour balanced.
• Address worn bushes, mounts and arms before assuming tyres or geometry alone are responsible for poor feel.
