Description
Is the suspension in your G-wagen is giving you a little too much feedback from the road, and riding a little rougher than you would like? Consider KW Suspension’s Coil-over Kit for the Mercedes-Benz G-class W463 (MY 2002-2012). With “Street Comfort” suspension kits, KW gives the driver a sporty and dynamic ride, while remaining comfortable. With the individually height-adjustable KW “Street Comfort” Coil-over Kit, the vehicle can be lowered from 10-35 mm. G-class also known as a G-wagon owners will get a more aggressive stance, which has a positive effect on road contact and handling. However, with minimal lowering, more spring travel will be possible and with perfectly matched dampers, the driver will see improved ride comfort. With this product, KW offers the perfect compromise between driving dynamics and ride comfort.

Design:
[list type=”list-style1″]
- Designed for enthusiasts who mostly operate the vehicle on the street, with occasional aggressive on-road use
- External adjustment wheel (manual operation) with 1-way damping allows adjustment of shock rebound only (between sporty and comfortable/soft)
- Shock absorbers are a twin-tube damping design (i.e., inner tubular element within an outer tubular element)
- Compression buffer with integrated dust protection system made of high-quality elastomer synthetic material
- Integrated Dust Cap: Potection from dirt, stone-chipping, and water — highly resilient and low-wear
- Pre-stressed Helper Spring: Made of flat wire, allows pre-stressing the main spring over the entire adjustment range for minimal total height and optimal force closure
- High-strength Springs: Multi-level tempering process (annealing, shot-blasting, jigging, UV-test, phosphate coating, EPS coating) for durability and to minimize jigging characteristics
- Polyamide Spring Plate: Low weight, noise-absorbing composite material reduces vibration sounds and isolates rolling noises from the car body, and corrosion-resistant
- Stainless Steel Spring “inox-line” Strut Casing
– 100% corrosion-resistant in all environments
– Dirt-resistant trapezoid thread allows easy adjustment even when spring is pre-stressed
– Noise-absorbing effect - Designed for improved ride comfort, when used with comfortable spring rate/effective harmonic dampening
- Reduces body roll, nose dive, and rear squat
- Limited Lifetime Manufacturer Warranty

The KW “Street Comfort” Coil-over Lowering Kit is designed for the car enthusiast that mainly drives on the street, who wants a more aggressive look with better handling and control. The kit comes with front and rear coil-overs that have a manual adjustment knob to increase or decrease the rebound rate. With the springs fully extended and soft rebound settings, you can expect a comfortable and compliant ride. With the car lowered 1.2-1.4 inches, and the rebound at a stiffer setting, you can expect greatly improved handling characteristics, with less body roll, nose dive, and rear squat when cornering, braking, or accelerating.
The “Street Comfort” Coil-over Lowering Kit shock absorbers feature a twin-tube design, which consists of an inner and outer tube, for superior performance. The high-strength springs go through a multi-level tempering process where the metal is heated, and then cooled slowly for increased strength and durability. The springs are then shot-blasted to smooth out the surface before they are coated with a long-lasting finish that reduces noise and vibration, while protecting against corrosion.

About KW:
Founded in 1995 in Germany, KW Automotive GmbH has grown from a small workshop-based manufacturer into a global leader and manufacturer of adjustable suspension coilovers and other related products. The secret of KW’s success has come from the relentless development and testing that has consistently led to superior products and created satisfied customers. for example, KW uses a state-of-the-art 7-post dynamic test stand to simulate the most grueling racetrack conditions that coilover shocks and springs could possibly face. One of only a handful of such test stands in the world used by formula 1 teams, KW engineers have put it to effective use refining and perfecting dampening levels of shock absorber compression and rebound. This ensures KW coilovers will give you durability and the fine-tuned ride quality you seek for your car or truck. KW has co-developed suspension products with Mercedes AMG, Rousch Mustangs, and Dodge’s Viper SRT10 to name a few, and their products have helped achieve victories in Nürburgring 24 hour races, BFGoodrich long distance championships, World Touring Car Championships, FIA GT races and more. CARiD offers the best values you’ll find on a full lineup of KW Suspensions coilover kits, hydraulic lift coilovers, sway bar components, and individual replacement parts which prove that lowered style and ride comfort are not mutually exclusive.
