Classic Line Variant 3™ Front and Rear Adjustable Shock Absorber Kit (35271064) by KW Suspensions®. With Standard Spindles. New KW classic shocks for the use with current tires with modern rubber compound on the legendary 911. With the new dampers, featuring their modern KW multi-stage valve technology, the F-Body have grip and when driven fast on narrow country roads the classic Porsche rides convincingly neutral. The standard equipped torsion bar doesn’t need to be replaced.
Material: Galvanized steel |
Another advantage is the fact, that no modifications or extensive conversions with damper cartridges are necessary. Like the KW classic dampers for the Porsche 911 G-Body, the dampers for the F-Body have steel galvanized housings on the front axle and include new forged steering knuckles (spindles). KW Classic Variant 3 dampers for the F-Body as a complete solution ready to be installed. The adjustment of the lowering is carried out by turning the torsion bar.
With the new dampers all wheels of the F-Body have grip and when driven fast on narrow country roads with bad tarmac the classic Porsche rides convincingly neutral. With the integrated compression and rebound damping adjustment, it is easy to dial the basic damper setup to your own driving demand.
For example, the rebound stage that is adjustable with 16 clicks, allows you to have direct influence on the handling characteristics as well as on the ride comfort. With the low-speed compression stage valve that is independently adjustable in twelve clicks, the driving behavior of the Porsche classic can be further adapted. A higher compression stage on the front axle enables even more direct steering and on the rear axle, higher compression stage forces oppose the tendency of oversteer. During sudden spike in piston speeds, like when driving over speed bumps, the pre-configured highspeed compression stage opens all valves and quick harmonious damping is achieved. A classic Porsche 911 F-model equipped with the modern and adjustable KW dampers has much more direct handling compared to the series dampers that were available back in the day or sometimes still on the market.
Founded in 1995 in Germany, KW Automotive® has grown from a small workshop-based manufacturer into a global leader and manufacturer of adjustable suspension coilovers and other related products. The secret of KW's success has come from the relentless development and testing that has consistently led to superior products and created satisfied customers. For example, KW uses a state-of-the-art 7-post dynamic test stand to simulate the most grueling racetrack conditions that coilover shocks and springs could possibly face. One of only a handful of such test stands in the world used by Formula 1 teams, KW engineers have put it to effective use refining and perfecting dampening levels of shock absorber compression and rebound. This ensures KW coilovers will give you durability and the fine-tuned ride quality you seek for your car or truck. KW has co-developed suspension products with Mercedes AMG, Rousch Mustangs, and Dodge's Viper SRT10 to name a few, and their products have helped achieve victories in Nurburgring 24 hour races, BFGoodrich long distance championships, World Touring Car Championships, FIA GT races and more. Our website offers the best values you'll find on a full lineup of KW Suspensions coilover kits, hydraulic lift coilovers, sway bar components, and individual replacement parts which prove that lowered style and ride comfort are not mutually exclusive.
