KW Suspensions Releases V5 Coilovers for 2012-2017 SRT Viper

2024-10-16T22:19:07+00:00

KW Suspensions has launched the four-way adjustable V5 coilover system for the SRT Viper, offering next-level handling and performance customization. Utilizing KW's Solid Piston technology, drawn from their motorsports expertise, the V5 dampers separate high- and low-speed compression and rebound adjustments, allowing for precise tuning. Unlike traditional dampers, the V5 design moves the hydraulic fluid into a separate valve body, resulting in higher damping forces, more grip, and enhanced feedback on the road. Drivers can achieve stepless lowering from 10 to 20 millimeters up front and 5 to 20 millimeters at the rear, maintaining ride comfort without compromising the Viper's raw performance.

Florian Johann, KW Brand Manager, highlights the system’s advanced design: “With our solid-piston suspensions, we can work with much lower spring rates on road suspensions than with other systems thanks to the higher force range of the dampers.” The KW V5 offers fine-tuning through ergonomic adjustment wheels and is available with an optional hydraulic lift system to raise the car by 45 millimeters when needed. Pricing starts at $11,999, with the lift system pushing the MSRP to $15,599.

How KW Suspensions' V5 Coilovers Met the Original NSX

2024-06-04T17:00:09+00:00

The Honda NSX, a mid-engine sports car that has captivated car enthusiasts since its debut, made a significant mark in automotive history. Produced from 1990 to 2005, it was the first production vehicle to feature aluminum bodywork. The NSX's wide track and low body design represented the pinnacle of motorsport technology during its era. This car, famously associated with Ayrton Senna, integrated groundbreaking technology that set it apart from other production cars of the early nineties. In recent years, the first two generations of the Honda NSX (NA1 and NA2) have seen a resurgence in popularity. Enthusiasts have driven up prices for special editions to levels comparable to real estate, reflecting the car's status as a modern classic.

KW Suspensions has long offered the KW V3 and KW V3 Clubsport kits for the NSX. But following the release of the KW V5 coilover suspension kit for the Porsche Carrera GT in 2024, there was significant demand from Honda enthusiasts in Japan and the USA for a similar kit tailored to their Acura NSX and Honda NSX models.

Now, the KW V5 suspension is available for all Acura NSX and Honda NSX (NA1 and NA2) models. This suspension kit is derived from KW's racing suspensions, utilized in customer racing programs for brands like Aston Martin, BMW, and Porsche. Despite its racing pedigree, the KW V5 suspension maintains the NSX’s comfort and usability, providing a harmonious driving experience over various road conditions.

The advanced damping technology in the KW V5 is a key factor behind its performance. KW Displacement Piston Technology (Solid Piston Technology) ensures that the suspension absorbs road irregularities smoothly, even with minimal suspension travel. Unlike conventional dampers, this system uses hydraulic columns and specialized valve parts to enhance the damper's effectiveness.

The KW V5 offers four-way adjustability, allowing for fine-tuning of high-speed and low-speed compression and rebound settings. With 13 clicks each for these adjustments, drivers can tailor their suspension setup to be either more comfortable or sportier, depending on their preferences. Regardless of the chosen damping setup or road conditions, the KW V5 suspension enhances the dynamic feel of the classic Honda NSX.

This upgraded suspension also improves the steering precision and handling, providing greater safety reserves even at the vehicle’s limits. The KW V5 allows for significant lowering, adjustable between 35 and 55 millimeters, as specified in the parts certificate.
