KW Variant is pleased to announce a few new products for you late model guys interested in the twistier side of life. They've created a full replacement for the leaf springs in the form of a set of fully adjustable coilovers for your C5 and C6 Vettes. The full press release is below...
KW suspensions announces their Variant 3 stainless steel constructed coilover for the 1997- 2004 C5 and 2006-2007 C6 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe and Convertible. The KW coilovers replaces the factory transverse leaf springs and stock shocks with a complete coil-over suspension solution.
Important characteristics such as safety, quality and performance are all taken into consideration with each KW coilover design. Each vehicle application is specifically designed and engineered for a proper range of motion, min/max weight loads and min/max lowering. All these requirements are met while retaining it’s performance handling characteristics. Each KW coilover suspension is produced with unique stainless steel “inox-line” technology. The stainless steel construction internally and externally provides long term durability and corrosion resistance from the elements.
The KW coilover suspensions for the C5 and C6 Corvette enables the owner to lower their vehicle 0-1.2 inches on the front axle and 0-1.2 inches on the rear axle and retains enough travel to handle maximum load and dynamic loads during driving. Adjustable (and independent reacting) rebound and compression damping allows a truly individual performance driving setup for those technically demanding drivers. Compression dampening adjustment is conducted in the low-speed range, while the high-speed set-up, so decisive for driving comfort, has been pre-set by KW engineers.
All KW coilovers pass stringent German TUV safety and quality testing standards. Each kit is sold TUV approved.
