KW Competition 2-way adjustable coilover suspension - Porsche 911, 930 Turbo 1969-1989
Exclusive to KW Performance and Motorsport partners. The KW Competition coilover suspension for 911 and 930 cars is a first of its kind, offering true race-track performance and proven KW quality in a complete off-the-shelf kit for the earlier Porsche cars.
Currently manufactured around customer-provided cores, this kit is built to exact specifications per order and usage. After ordering, we will contact you directly for further information about your vehicle. Spring rates, heights, total damper length, stroke, rebound and compression damping rates are all flexible, built around 2-way adjustable high-end twin-tube damper technology.
Lüfteknic's own #projectstuka runs a variation of these coilovers which have thus far proved flawless in durability and performance. 
KW Competition coilovers are developed for motorsport programs in IMSA Tudor and Continental championships, Pirelli World Challenge, FIA GT, VLN and other GT championships around the world. Through this program some of the very same parts which help lead KW equipped race cars to victories around the world are available for you and your 911. 
KW Suspension systems are a first choice for Porsche enthusiasts worldwide, for street, track day and motorsport applications. KW Competition coilovers are the number one choice of many top international race teams. The excellent combination of performance/price ratio and long standing history of successful victories and championships claimed by KW racing technology impressively confirm that our KW Competition kits are not only the leading suspension in its class when it comes to performance, but also in quality.
The versatile characteristics of the KW Competition suspension kits accommodate a broad range of different pavement surfaces, radius of turns and elevation changes. The KW Competition kit has been the main-stay of many top teams racing at the most demanding race track in the world - Nurburgring Nordschleife, aka the "Green Hell".

KW Competition kits feature a 2-way, 16-click rebound adjustable / 12-click bump adjustable damper. Adjustments are made with a supplied removable adjustment knob from the top of the damper for rebound, and at the bottom of the damper or reservoir for bump via an integrated knob, wherever possible. Raising the rebound damping rate will reduce the body motion of the vehicle and help to provide control and stability through corners and over the road, as well as allowing for minor changes to the overall handling balance. This is especially helpful for tuning to a specific wheel and tire package, allowing you to compensate for weight, tire pressure and traction differences. It also allows you to further fine tune the response and handling balance along with changes to sway bar settings and chassis set up, etc.
Raising or adjusting the low-speed bump rate allows you to manually effect body roll independently of other factors such as sway bar or spring rates. Typically, adjustment of the low-speed bump will not adversely effect ride quality as sharp jolts such as pot holes, frost heaves and expansion joints are handled by the damper's high-speed damping rates, which remain unaffected. 
In short, raising the rebound rate will increase the firmness of the ride and reduce ride quality, with sharper handling and control. Lowering the rebound rate will provide a more comfortable, compliant ride at the expense of handling. Raising the low-speed bump rate will reduce body roll (such as cornering, braking and acceleration), while lowering it will allow for an increase in both body roll and weight transfer.
