KW Suspensions at Tunehouse

 

At Tunehouse we take car to work only with the finest suppliers and manufacturers in the industry. KW Suspensions is one of the brands we’re proud to align ourselves with as thier commotment to quality and innication is unsurpassed!

KW is one of the world’s leading suppliers of performance oriented suspension  systems. KW’s wide range accommodates nearly every vehicle platform. In 2006, a state-of-the art 7-post drive dynamics test stand has been put into operation at the KW automotive GmbH headquarters in Fichtenberg. This test stand can simulate different race track conditions. There are only 15 such hydraulic test stands available around the world and most of them are used by Formula 1 teams for their research and development measures

What do your shocks do?

Shock absorbers slow down the vibrations generated by wheels, axles and the chassis. Therefore, the technically correct name is vibration damper.
When driving over an uneven surface, the shock absorbers take up the impact of the shock. The damper then tries to transfer the incoming energy. In a short timespand, these continuing shocks lead to a vibration. These movements are then transferred to the shock absorber by the piston rod. Thereby, the kinetic energy is transformed into heat by hydraulic resistance in the shock absorber valves. Therefore the vibrations are reduced to a minimum and can hardly be sensed.

A Quality and Servicebale shock absorber offer maximim driver control while offering comfort and safety, as well as:

    Rocking when driving over continuously uneven surfaces

    Pitching or strong dipping during acceleration and braking

    Spinning Wheels and Loss of Traction

    Swearving and Loss of Control while Braking

                                    Sliding while cornering with minimal traction

 

At Tunehouse, we beleive investing in coilovers isn’t necesarily just about height adjustment – this is only a small part of it. Think about the technology in the damper itself. It is this control that you are investing in above all else!

 

There is no doubt a KW Solution for needs – Check them out:

 

KW Variant 1 (V1)
