KW Coilover Kit V1 Volvo V40 / S40 (V40) from chassis # 495473

Starting with the INOX-LINE stainless steel construction for the coilover struts means these kits are built to resist corrosion, even when you're adjusting the ride height. This is the entry point into KW's street performance lineup, offering a balanced and sporty feel tailored specifically for your 2000-2004 Volvo S40 or V40 (from chassis # 495473). The engineers at KW develop a specific damper setup and spring rate for each vehicle application, drawing on extensive testing at places like the Nürburgring Nordschleife and their own 7-post chassis dynamics test center.

This pre-configured setup takes the guesswork out of achieving a sporty yet practical balance. You get improved handling with reduced body roll during compression, leading to a more direct and connected driving experience. The ride height is adjustable using a dirt-resistant trapezoid thread and a composite adjustment collar, ensuring easy adjustments even after years of use. The kit includes elastomer bump stops with integrated dust protection to keep dirt and water away from the piston rod and seals, contributing to long-lasting performance.

When you choose KW V1 coilovers, you're getting a system that's developed specifically for your vehicle, not a generic one-size-fits-all solution. Each damper is hand-built and individually serial-numbered at KW's headquarters in Germany, and every single unit is dyno-tested before it leaves the factory to ensure accuracy and functionality. This attention to detail, combined with the high-quality components, results in a well-built suspension system designed for long-lasting driving pleasure.
