 KW Competition - Classification (Use)

2-way adjustable   3-way adjustable
The suspension systems are classified according to the purpose for which they are to be used, and are listed under „Circuit“ or „Rally“ in the application list. The racing suspensions designed for „Circuit „ enable the vehicle to be lowered by 50-100 mm, and cannot under any circumstances be used for racing cars that permit only a standard height or minimal lowering. These suspension systems are designed to be used for slaloms, hill climbs, cuit-racing events and long-distance races, but also for racing driver training and tourist drives on the northern loop of the Nürburgring. The suspension systems listed as „Rally“ are designed for an adjustment range around the standard vehicle height (+/- 25 mm) and can be used for both Group N cars and rally cars, (please note: these shocks are not designed to run an hard gravel stages).
 

The suspension systems are classified as with the doubleadjustable suspensions into Circuit“ and „Rally“. There are, however, some solutions
developed for particular race series. (e.g. DTC, DPM, ETCC) The design of the suspension struts is indicated in the table. Essentially we differentiate between the upside-down MacPherson strut designs that are either fitted with standard plain bearings and are 40 mm or 45 mm in diameter, or our special linear bearing products with shock absorber casings that are 40 mm in diameter. There are also coilover shock absorbers with adjustable spring plates, for the use of racing springs and single, unthreaded shock absorbers.
