The KW DDC coilovers are part of the KW iSuspension program - the intelligent suspension solution. They combine the advantages of an adaptive damping system with a vehicle-specific aftermarket suspension solution. There are two versions offered: the KW DDC ECU with the option of using KW's App control, and the KW DDC Plug & Play for select vehicle models with factory adaptive suspension.

Today, more and more premium vehicles are being fitted with an electronically adaptive suspension system.Before KW DDC Plug & Play coilovers were introduced to the market, you often had to make compromises when customizing your suspension lowering, and often had to eliminate the active electronic control system and comfort features that you had paid extra for. With the adaptive KW DDC Plug & Play coilover suspensions there are no compromises to be made and you can combine the control of your standard damper system with a seamless suspension lowering and the driving dynamics tuned by KW suspensions eperienced engineers.

Setup – factory pre-configured damping modes with adaptive damper control

During installation, the factory electronic struts are simply replaced by KW “inox-line” stainless steel coilover struts and the adaptive KW dampers are connected to the on-board electronics using your vehicles original plugs. Fitting a KW DDC Plug & Play coilover suspension requires no further modifications. The standard dampers can simply be replaced with the KW DDC (Dynamic Damping Control) coilover kit. The existing controls and the button installed in the vehicle interior for the operation of the damper control will now operate the KW DDC Plug & Play coilovers.

For the first time, the KW DDC Plug & Play coilover kit combines the advantages of a KW coilover suspension with the convenience of the standard electronic damper controls. At the push of a button, the driver can choose between the Comfort, Normal and Sport setup optimized for the KW coilover suspension. In addition, the KW coilover suspension allows individual ride height adjustability within the tested adjustment range. Our original equipment quality suspension technology is compatible with various vehicle manufacturers. As a result, the adaptive KW DDC suspension is instantly recognized by the on-board electronics. So all the displays and controls of your factory vehicle remain fully functional but you get a completely new driving experience.

In Sport+ mode, the adaptive KW dampers give every car an unadulterated driving behavior. A setup which is ideal for demanding rides on twisty roads with lots of load changes. The Sport mode however, is perfect for driving on the highway with long curves, while the Comfort mode is the ideal for traveling on poorly developed roads. In Comfort mode, the suspension adjusts automatically to the respective driving situation.

KW DDC App: The App for an adaptive driving experience

If you add the additional DDC WLAN module to the KW DDC ECU kit the adaptive dampers of the KW DDC ECU coilover suspension can be adjusted independenly per axle to your personal driving style and conditions. The App is compatible with smartphones and tablets from Apple (iOS) and many Android devices. can be set intuitively from the maximum comfort setting with a very soft damping (shown in the app as 0%) up to the Sport+ damper setting (shown in the app as 100%). Here, you can also select between the 3 preset modes and the KW DDC button in the car will change to the corresponding color to confirm the setting

The KW DDC plug&play allows maximum or individual lowering within the tested adjustment range. Due to the dirt-resistant trapezoidal thread and the polyamide threaded ring, the continuous lowering can be varied quickly and easily, even after years.

 

As with all KW coilovers our engineers develop vehicle specific damper and spring specifications which undergo comprehensive testing on the Nürburgring Nordschleife and in our KW 7-post Driving Dynamic Test Center. With a KW DDC coilover kit the driving experience is more dynamic and direct.

You are not buying a mass produced, generic coilover kit, a KW coilover has been developed specifically for your particular vehicle. As a manufacturer, KW uses only its own resources, high quality components and the damper technology that has all developed in-house. With the KW DDC coilovers, rolling motion of the body will be reduced during compression giving you the benefit of more direct handling and confidence while driving.
