KW Coilovers?? lowering

i've seen the kw coilovers from germany on a few friends vetts and 3 lambos and they looked killer so I started looking around and found them online for about $2800 for my cayenne shipped and he has 8 sets in stock.

im wondering has anyone used the kws here?

Thanks

How much travel do the coilovers have as compared to stock? I would think they are considerably more firm. Is the valveing also adjustable?

they are made to lower 1.4 to 2.7 inches and they are comprssion/rebound adjustable so you can make them soft or hard so fully ride adjustable.

If you were to run them on the lowest drop setting how much travel remains and how does that compare to stock?

That was the same question I asked kw. They said due to the shock body even at the lowest setting you can bottom out the suspension and there is still more travel left in the shock. You wont bottom out the shock and cause damage no matter how low you go.

I have KWs - Check my post here: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ervations.html I started with a 2inch drop and subsequently spun them all the way down. I don't bottom out, handling is amazing for a 5Klbs truck and ride quality is decent. For reference, I have the 3 primary settings all at their mid point.
