KW V5 Coilovers for Honda NSX NC1 (2016+)

KW V5 Coilovers Specifications

With over 25 years' unique experience in motorsport, particularly endurance racing, German company KW has an excellent reputation in the field of sports and racing suspension. To manufacture its products, the company relies on cutting-edge technology and an ultra-advanced development and testing centre, and has introduced more than 16 different damping technologies to meet its slogan "The perfect suspension for every demand".

Street Performance products are designed for road use, giving the vehicle an individual look and improving driving dynamics. KW V5 coilovers are based on the manufacturer's GT3 motorsport suspension technology and employ a valve separate from the shock absorber inner tube and piston rod. They are ideal for sports cars and supersport vehicles, providing fast, precise damping in all conditions, for exceptionally efficient handling.

KW coilovers are developed in intensive test cycles on the Nürburgring circuit and in-house on the KW 7-post hydraulic driving dynamics rig, which simulates the vehicle's suspension travel on tracks around the world.

The Street Performance range is height-adjustable, allowing maximum lowering within the vehicle's technical limits from 45 to 85 mm, depending on the application. KW V5 coilovers are independently adjustable in rebound and compression to 13 positions (low speed) and 13 positions (high speed).

Boasting outstanding build quality, these coilovers feature aluminium struts that are both very light and highly resistant to corrosion. They also use trapezoidal threading with optimised friction for easy ride height adjustment, excellent protection against dust and higher load capacity than conventional coilovers. The polyamide composite adjustment spring seat with stainless steel insert also contributes to the product's high durability.

Each shock absorber has an additional reservoir that increases the volume of oil and the cooling surface for systems that are particularly stressed. Filled with a low gas pressure, it can be removed from the shock absorber and installed at the user's convenience.

Clubsport range : Depending on the vehicle, KW can offer Clubsport (Track Performance) suspension kits specifically for track use. If you would like to order products from this range, please contact us for further information.
