KW Coilover Kit DDC ECU Golf V GTI/Rabbit 2WD (A5/1K/ 1KP) incl. DSG

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 system 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 electronic damper 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. The KW DDC ECU 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. 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, 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 will also adjusts automatically to sudden maneuvers. If you add the additional DDC WLAN module to the KW DDC ECU kit the adaptive dampers of the KW DDC ECU suspension can be adjusted independently per axle to your personal driving style and conditions. The App is compatible with smartphones and tablets from Apple (iOS) and many Android devices.

Part Type

Coilover Adjustable Spring Lowering Kit

• Composite spring perch made from wear-resistant, friction-optimized polyamide composite encompassing a stainless-steel insert. The polyamide composite prevents oxidation while the stainless-steel insert maximizes strength.
• Elastomer Bump stop with integrated dust protection system prevents water and dirt particles reaching the piston rod and seals. The highly resilient bump stops act as dynamic load limiters while maintaining ride quality and durability.
• Every single damper is dyno tested to ensure functionality and guarantee accuracy before being released for delivery.
• Inox-Line Stainless Steel - Truly Permanent Corrosion Resistance. Inox-Line coatings will not wear off while adjusting the suspension making KW coilover struts 100 percent corrosion resistant with an unlimited lifespan.
• KW DDC ECU electronically controlled 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.
• KW suspensions DDC ECU coilovers are hand built by our expert team and given a uniquely individual serial number at our headquarters in Fichtenberg, Germany.
• Optional W-LAN module allows custom adjustments as well as storing and sharing of custom presets.
• Seamless Ride Height Adjustment - the corrosion resistance of the Inox-line stainless steel and composite perches means easy ride height adjustability to help you dial in your preferred look.

Vehicle Compatibility and Return Conditions.

This item was designed and engineered in the USA for US domestic vehicles. OBD tools, ECUs, dongles, programmers, and tuners may have limited compatibility with vehicles outside the USA due to regional differences in emission standards and system configurations. Some features and functionality may vary depending on the vehicle and location.

Some electronic tuning devices and programmers require activation, registration, or pairing with a specific vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). Once activated or paired, these devices may become permanently associated with that vehicle, restricting or preventing their use on another vehicle, resticting our ability to offer returns or exchanges.

Please review the product details and images to ensure it meets your needs. For clarification or assistance, feel free to contact a StreetFX agent. Note: Returns are not accepted for special order or tuning products unless the unit is deemed faulty.

No matter where in the world they are, sporty drivers, car manufacturers and refiners rely on the KW technology found in DDC ECU Coilover Kits.

More product features include:
• Composite spring seats (perches) made from a wear-resistant and friction-optimized polyamide composite material that prevents oxidation with a stainless steel insert for maximum strength
• Friction-optimized, trapezoid threads that are insensitive to dirt, require less force to adjust, and provide a higher load-bearing capacity due to a larger cross-section
• Rust-proof stainless steel with Inox-Line coatings that will not wear off while adjusting
• The technical component report is always included in the package and outlines the guidelines for lowering the suspension of the respective vehicle
• The DDC ECU coilover suspension app (free download in Apple and Google Play stores) allows a choice of three defined damper setups: Comfort, Sport, or Sport+, and also allows for complete individual customization of the adaptive dampers settings during operation
