Fitment

How it drives

Dial in more rebound for tighter body control, confident high speed stability and crisp steering response, or wind it back for extra compliance on rough B-roads and city streets. The twin-tube damper design keeps compression characteristics consistent while you fine tune rebound, making setup simple and predictable. If you change wheel and tyre sizes, you can match damping to your new combo for dependable grip and feedback.

Built for UK roads and weather

Stainless steel construction fights rust, the adjustable perches keep moving freely, and the kit maintains its set height in all seasons. After extensive salt spray testing, the design showed excellent resistance to oxidation, ideal for year-round use.

Quality and warranty

Every kit is tested to strict standards before it leaves the factory. Includes a 2-year warranty as standard, extendable to 5 years when fitted by an approved KW specialist.
