KW DDC - ECU + HLS 4

Retrofit electronic damper control with adjustable ride height

Experience the innovation and quality of high-end engineering: the KW DDC (Dynamic Damping Control) ECU (Electronic Control Unit) coilover suspension, made in Germany. For the first time with its electronically adjustable dampers, the KW DDC ECU coilover system combines intelligent, app-controlled suspension tuning with ride height adjustability. This gives you the opportunity to upgrade your vehicle with an adaptive damper systen and electronically control the level of performance or comfort that meets your requirements Included in the package is a KW “inox-line” coilover suspension with high-quality stainless steel struts, electronically adjustable dampers, a high-performance control unit with a vehicle-specific set of cables, a KW DDC control button giving you control from the comfort of the drivers seat, and an elaborate assembly instructions for an easy installation.

KW DDC Coilover Kits

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.

KW HLS Lift Kit – More ground clearance at the touch of a button

The hydraulic cylinder installed between the spring plate and the spring in our coilover lifts the chassis using the onboard control unit. Now, our revised Lift Kit HLS Evolution is only available for lifting the front axle (HLS 2 Evolution).

Those who’d like to increase ground clearance on both the front and rear axles must settle for the older HLS version. We are actively working on the HLS 4 Evolution. The advantage of a hydraulic system is that there is no compression (motion) of the extended cylinder unit during driving. This avoids any unwanted additional damping. The HLS is available with parts certificate (§19 (2)/ §21).

Endless stepless lowering options for your car with KW HLS

In combination with our KW coilovers, the Hydraulic Lift System from KW Suspensions allows a subtle lowering within the tested adjustment range. Thanks to high-quality and durable materials, individual lowering can be varied at any time. Dust protection elements and bump stops are already included, allowing maximum technical and legal lowering. With our KW HLS, customers experience sporty but harmonious driving without compromising on driving dynamics. This product was also tested on both our 7-post rig and on real tracks like the renowned Nürburgring Nordschleife.

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 HLS 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 coilovers, rolling motion of the body will be reduced during compression giving you the benefit of more direct handling and confidence while driving.

Setup – Three factory-pre-configured damping settings for adaptive damper control and optional App-control via smartphone

The KW DDC ECU coilover suspension features three vehicle-specific damper setups. At the touch of a button you can choose between the basic Sport setting, a very sporty and performance-oriented Sport+ setup or Comfort mode.

Individuality at the push of a button.

The KW DDC button - One Button, Three Times the Experience!

The included KW DDC button allows switching between the three damper settings, Comfort, Sport, and Sport +. The KW DDC button changes the color confirming the dampers have changed.

With the KW DDC button, the respective driving mode, Comfort, Sport, or Sport+ can be selected changing the adaptive KW DDC ECU coilover kit damper setting within milliseconds. 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.
