BMW M2 Suspension Options from KW Suspensions - GMP Performance



The new BMW M2 has already been a massive hit with daily drivers and track enthusiasts alike. So that success meant it wouldn't take long before the pros at KW Suspension would tackle a range of suspension options that worked for both sets of new owners.

For those wanting an improved look with sharper driving dynamics, let's start with the Height Adjustable Spring Kit.




Lowering
Front Lowering: 0.6" to 1.2"
Rear Lowering: 0.2" to 1.2"


KW height adjustable spring kits are a great alternative to conventional springs. You don’t have to be satisfied with a fixed lowering as you can adjust the height with the KW height adjuster even after the kit has been installed.

Your vehicle not only gets a more dynamic look with the KW height adjustable spring kit, but the steering behavior and response of the standard dampers becomes more agile. All driver assistance systems and comfort features of an adaptive series suspension remain with our vehicle specific developed spring set up.
No more 30-30 or 40-40!

With conventional lowering springs you have to decide on the lowering from the beginning, but not with the KW height adjustable spring kits. Depending on the vehicle specific application, you can change the lowering within the adjustment range with the threaded spring perch even when the springs are already installed. For example, the KW height adjustable spring kit for an Audi S5 allows you to lower the car in the range of 5-35 mm, and will not have any difficulties to adjust the lowering when changing your wheel/tire combination.
OEM Quality

The height adjustable spring or H.A.S. kits from KW use high-quality springs made of chrome-silicon steel that are vehicle specific and adjusted to the respective standard suspension dampers and wheel loads. At the development of the respective spring kits we consider that the spring rates will perfectly harmonize with the different damper characteristics of your adaptive series suspension.

With their high quality (surface) finish and the KW height adjuster, our KW height adjustable spring kits delivery always includes the vehicle-specific bump stops with a dust protection system to protect your standard suspension against wear & tear caused by spray and salt.
  • individual height adjustment of the standard suspension kit
  • adaptive damper control remains active
  • vehicle specific spring rates
  • better steering behavior
  • improved looks


Next, there's the KW Variant 3 Coilover Kit



Lowering
Front Lowering: 0.6" to 1.5"
Rear Lowering: 0.8" to 1.8"


Advanced Technology bred on the racetrack, built for the road.

With the KW Variant 3 "inox-line" coilovers you will get much more than just sporty lowering and excellent driving behaviour on all roads. It is based on our long experience as a suspension manufacturer and supplier for international motorsports, such as the ADAC GT Masters touring car series, FIA GT1, FIA GT3, International GT Open, WTCC, VLN, the legendary ADAC Zurich 24h Nürburgring race, as well as IMSA American LeMans Series, now United Sports Car Championship, SCCA Pro Racing and Pirelli World Challenge in North America.

KW Variant 3 "inox-line" coilovers share technology with our race coilovers developed in our KW Competition program, they can be adjusted independently in compression and rebound damping. That possibility of individual adjustment is what has made KW Variant 3 "inox-line" coilover the preferred choice by sports car manufacturers, tuners and drivers worldwide.
The perfect suspension setup for maximum driving pleasure

If you have already made your first performance modifications to your vehicle our KW Variant 3 "inox-line" coilovers will compliment your upgrades. The patented KW-valve technology for separate adjustment of rebound and compression damping allows you to individually setup your suspension.The adjustable KW bottom valve adjusts the low-speed range of the compression level in twelve clicks.

You don’t need any adjusting tools because of the patented compression adjuster at the lower end of the stainless steel housing. The adjustable compression damping with its twelve exact clicks allows you to manually influence body roll, without having to change the spring rate which optimally matches the rebound.

With the individually adjustable rebound setup of the KW Variant 3 "inox-line" coilovers, you can directly influence the handling and comfort with its precise click adjustment. The rebound valves of the KW twin-tube dampers on the upper end of the piston rod will be adjusted via an integrated adjustment wheel or a twist-adjustment wheel which is included with the coilover kit.

By increasing the rebound force via the adjustment wheel, the body movements are reduced and adjusts the pitch and roll behavior of the vehicle giving you more stability at increased corner speed. If you change for example the wheel / tire combination (approved by the car manufacturer) to larger wheels, then with a KW Variant 3 "inox-line" coilovers you will be able to adjust the car's handling perfectly.

High quality, individual and durable

The KW Variant 3 "inox-line" coilover kit and every single damper are subjected to extensive quality tests during production in order to meet the high standards of our KW quality management. This extensive testing is what enables us to give up to five years warranty on our KW Variant 3 "inox-line" coilover when installed at one of our KW specialist dealers. KW coilover struts are made of stainless steel and 100% rust-free with an unlimited life time.

Therefore the operation of the continuous lowering via the dirt-resistant KW trapezoid thread and the KW composite collar is also not affected after years. By the individual lowering with its continuous adjustment range, you can emphasize the sportiness of your vehicle visually. A feature that is very popular in the performance-oriented tuning scene.
  • Rebound and compression damping adjustable damper technology
  • Stainless steel technology "inox-line"
  • Individual, continuous lowering
  • TÜV-tested adjustment range
  • High quality components for a long life
  • Complete documentation for an easy handling
  • Adjustable rebound damping with 16 exact clicks
  • Adjustable compression damping with 12 exact clicks
  • Unique, independent from each other working damping force adjustment







Last but not least, there is the KW Clubsport Kit





Lowering
Front Lowering: 0.6" to 1.6"
Rear Lowering: 0.8" to 1.8"


The KW Clubsport coilovers combine KW's high-end racing technology with maintenance-free KW OEM components and TÜV certificate.

This will provide you the ideal product to take full potential of your sports car during track days, sports car driving clinics, enthusiast drives on Grand Prix circuits, and on tracks such as the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

With the KW 3 Way Clubsport coilover kit, it is possible to optimally adjust the driving behavior of the BMW M2 to reach fast lap times at the race track. For example, the prevailing conditions on the Nürburgring Nordschleife can optimally be considered and in addition, the BMW M2 can be lowered continuously by up to 45 mm with the Clubsport suspension. So the demanding sports car drivers are not only able to select from the available “Track-Setup” and “Road-Setup” recommended by KW development engineers and test drivers, but the KW racing valve technology used even allows individual damper settings. A BMW M2 equipped with a KW 3 Way Clubsport coilover kit drives extremely precise and direct in all driving situations.
