About KW Variant 1 (V1) "inox-line" Coilovers

Sporty handling combined with outstanding looks. With factory pre-configured damping.

The KW coilover kit Variant 1 "inox-line" is the entry model for more driving pleasure with an attractive and individually adjustable lowering. Due to its high-quality finish, the use of struts made from stainless steel, corrosion resistant springs and bump stops as well as compatible components stands for long driving pleasure - not just the car's life.

Continuous lowering

With the KW coilover Variant 1 you can achieve maximum lowering in the tested adjustment range. Depending on vehicle model this varies between 30 to 70mm or 50 to 90mm. Even after years you can adjust the height quickly and easily due to the dirt resistant trapezoid thread and composite collar. Lowering at the front axle is made using our one piece composite height adjuster, on the rear axle this is the same unless the car has a seperate spring and shock absorber. The supplied rear height adjuster sits either above or below the rear spring.

The benchmark for tuning fans

KW coilover Variant 1 "inox-line" satisfies the sporty driver with its harmonic basic setup. KW's engineers develop for each vehicle a specific damper setup and spring rate to increase the driving pleasure with optimal balance of sportiness and practicality. In the end, you don't buy any coilover, but a KW coilover which has been developed specifically for your type of vehicle. KW as a manufacturer uses only its own resources, high quality components and the same damper technology as high-volume manufacturers.

    Lightweight and comfortable
    Size: 42, Color: Kangaroo, Size: 42, Color: Kangaroo
    The fit is just right and they're very comfortable. This is the second pair I've bought and the review could easily be for both pairs. The only difference between them is the color. I deducted a star because they really need at least 2 more belt loops. Why do manufacturers skimp on something that would be so inexpensive to do right? The belt loops on either side of the front button are 11 inches apart. Ideally they'd be at most 5 or 6 inches apart. Anyway, these will be the shorts I wear to do my yard work. I can put my phone in the right hand cargo pocket and know that the Velcro closure won't let it fall out while I'm working. My keys will go in the left side cargo pocket. I'd definitely buy them again. The price is right and they are comfortable to wear.

    Very well designed shorts!
    Size: 36, Color: Gunmetal
    Bought one pair awhile ago, and now buying several more. Great relaxed fit, very comfortable, good fabric weight AND pockets not designed by morons - actually so easy to store and retrieve wallet and phone unlike Dockers and Izod and other cargo shorts I've purchased in the past. So comfortable and well designed. They're cut a little large for the stated size - but not necessarily a bad thing, and waist has a little bit of stretch. Love them!

    Once you put them on, you will know you made the right decision
    Size: 38, Color: Medium Tint Denim
    Absolutely perfect in every way. Staring either the very reasonable price, the true to size fit, and quality. Hip pockets are deep, and can come in handy. Most don’t know that Wrangler actually started in 1904 as a company called Blue Bell, and later renamed Wrangler. Well established and a long history of top quality clothing. Although you may find another company selling for a bit less, that’s what you’ll get……Less !!?

    Good shorts but they run big
    Size: 38, Color: Dusty Olive
    I've been losing weight and picked these up in my new size (38). It turns out these are cut for a generous American midsection, and have an elastic fit in the waist, so you can (and probably should!) safely go down a size. I got mine in 34 instead and they fit great.
