What you will feel straight away

• Cleaner turn-in and reduced body movement for confident cornering
• Even, aggressive ride height with easy fine-tuning to suit wheels and tyres
• Smooth, composed ride on rougher tarmac thanks to vehicle-specific damper tuning
• Real-world durability from corrosion-resistant stainless bodies and composite perches

Why this kit is a smart choice for your E39

• Ride height adjustment within KW’s tested window for the platform
• Factory-set damper valving matched to the E39 chassis so there is no guesswork
• Stainless construction resists winter salt and grime for long service life
• Dirt-repellent thread design and robust adjuster collars make changes quick and simple
• Supplied complete with quality springs, bump stops and full documentation

Lowering range and handling benefits

Achieve a usable to aggressive drop within the tested adjustment range. Depending on vehicle spec, lowering is typically around 30 to 70 mm at the front and 50 to 90 mm at the rear. Expect a flatter attitude in fast direction changes, improved steering precision and a planted feel without ruining everyday comfort.
