E39 525i/528i/530i/540i KW Coilover Kit - Variant 1 (V1)

Factory Pre-set Damping

The Variant 1 is KW's basic simple and effective coil over kit that is still packed with lots of features -

• Pre-set damping optimized for a blend of ride comfort and handling with less bodyroll than the standard suspension,
• Stainless steel strut/shock bodies and composite spring perches for superior corrossion resistance,
• Individually height-adjustable - Front = 35-65mm lowering; Rear = 30-60mm lowering,
• TUV approved lowering range and operation,
• Expert engineering and design for ease-of-use and long durability,

This is the ideal coil over kit for an E39 owner who does not plan on tracking or autocrossing the car and just wants a lower, more aggressive stance and better handling. KW has set the shock damping rates to be an excellent balance for a smooth yet taut ride, and to resist bodyroll motions for better handling. The Variant 1 differs from the Street Comfort set in that it has stiffer springs and revised shock settings. If you want a sportier ride and better handling than stock the Variant 1 is an excellent choice.

Fitment Notes: This kit is not for vehicles equipped with EDC or self-leveling suspensions. Wheel spacers may be required depending on wheel/tire sizing and ride height setting.
