Power gain Up To

Torque gain Up To
+0 TQ

Advertised gains are estimates of HP and Torque “at the engine” calculated from gains as measured on a Dynojet Dynamometer in ideal conditions and typically show the largest possible change. Actual gains are dependent on the following: Learn More about Crank HP Vs Wheel HP

Model – Manufacturers use the same engine in multiple model vehicles and often times they are in a different state of tune, for example: 2008 C63 and a 2008 CLK Black Series. Both have the same engine, but the C63 has 451hp while the CLK63 has 500hp. Naturally the C63 will show more gains as it starts at a lower level.

Model Year – Similar to above, as time progresses, Manufacturers tend to slightly increase power output via software from one year to the next or offer “Performance Packages” with increased power. The engines remain largely unaltered and as a result, final tuned output remains the same, while the gains are lower as the starting point is now higher.

Fuel – Fuel quality is HIGHLY important with performance vehicles. Low quality and/or low octane fuel will greatly impact engine output and potentially even engine health. Top tier brand premium fuels should always be used to achieve the best results possible.

Drivetrain – All wheel drive has higher drivetrain losses than rear wheel drive. This results in lower numbers when testing on a chassis dyno. Wheel/tire size and weight will also impact chassis dyno results

Weather/Conditions – Temperature, humidity, altitude, and air density all impact engine performance. Heat, high humidity, and thin air will all work towards reducing engine output

Engine Health – Higher miles tends to result in increased build up and lower compression which can and will impact engine output. Properly maintained engines will have better performance than abused or neglected engines.

Supporting modifications – The highest power levels require supporting modifications. Depending on the engine, this could mean forged internals, built transmission, upgraded fuel system, 110+ octane race fuel, etc.

Product Description

By launching the new KW V5 coilover suspension, KW focuses on its successful motorsport suspension technology with KW Solid Piston Technology and modular design with damper valves connected in series. The KW V5 assures precise and fast damping without delay in sports cars and super sports cars. The shock absorbers and valves react directly, even with small spring travel, minimal steering movements, and minor road undulations. Every driving maneuver and every input, such as those generated during braking, acceleration, steering, load changes, and undulations, are damped much more precisely. The KW Solid Piston dampers provide much more platform support to the chassis than conventional dampers and thus, depending on the vehicle body allow for lower spring rates to be used. The KW V5 with adjustable KW SPCLH-A (KW Solid Piston Compression Low- and Highspeed Adjustable) compression damping and the KW SPRLH-A (KW Solid Piston Rebound Low- and Highspeed Adjustable) rebound damping offers significant added values: more sensitive damping, cavitation-free function, precise high-frequency damping, low-pressure gas range from 6 to 10 bar and low hysteresis. The low- and high-speed valve units in the KW V5 coilover suspension, which are built-in series with different valve spring types and main valves, offer the freedom to individually adjust the compression and rebound damping with 13 exact clicks (14 characteristic curves) each in the low- and high-speed range. The KW Solid Piston Technology can also be used to cover a large force range when designing the characteristic curves; all the more reason to enable a completely new type of harmonious damping. The KW V5 allows a maximum or individual lowering within the tested adjustment range. Due to the dirt-resistant trapezoidal thread and the polyamide threaded ring, the continuous lowering can be varied quickly and easily, even after the years.

Notes

1: Height adjustable on the front and rear axles (threaded strut housings)
411: Variant 4 struts / dampers made of aluminum or kit is a combination of aluminum and stainless steel per axle
67: Valving is adjusted by adjustment knobs, rebound is only adjustable if the top of the piston rod is accessible. This will depend on the design of the vehicle.

Lower Rates

Front: 0.0-0.4"
