Für alle VW T6 Multivan mit adaptiver DCC Fahrwerkregelung ist ab sofort das aktiv regelbare KW DDC plug&play Gewindefahrwerk erhältlich.

Adaptive damping systems and coilovers get an increasingly important role also in the aftermarket and in the tuning industry.

Already since 2011, the suspension manufacturer offers electronically controlled coilovers that are compatible with a wide range of control systems in the automotive industry. If there are no electronic dampers for vehicles from factory, KW offers with its DDC ECU coilovers the possibility to retrofit an adaptive coilover kit with optional control via smartphone App.

ST suspensions is getting popular in Europe: More and more applications with certificate


The suspension brand “ST suspensions”, which has been established in the US since the late 1970s, also offers suspension applications for more and more vehicles from Europe and the Far East, such as coilovers, sports suspensions, wheel spacers and anti sway bars.

At this year’s Essen Motor Show, the focus will be on vehicles from Asia. So ST suspensions will show the first with a ST XTA tuned Honda Civic Type R. The coilover kit equipped with aluminum Unibal too mounts also allows to adjust the damper characteristics individually.

ST suspensions broadens its innovative DZX track extension system by the AZX spacer discs allowing installation to wheel hubs using stud bolts and wheel bolts. It is irrelevant if the car is equipped with wheel hubs using stud bolts or wheel hubs in combination with wheel bolts! Through our multiple bolt pattern bores up to twelve bolt circles per DZX spacer can be covered. This is how we are able to cover all 4-, 5- and 6-hole bolt circles from 4×98 to 6×132.
