domino_z · 10-21-2017, 05:59 AM

What's the ride like compared to stock in comfort?

Keen for your feedback

Lojs · 10-22-2017, 12:11 PM

Wow, external reservoirs. Please tell us more.

Colinv6 · 10-24-2017, 02:56 AM

Any updates on these?

Please share more soon!!

OMRITIME · 10-30-2017, 03:41 PM

I've been in Europe
So I don't have the time to drive

about the ride I set the hight of the coliovers on max that recommended by KW

The front axle looks higher than the rear
In the rear I can see the tires just in arch line

I love it , i don't like too low
(Replaced 3 spliters in 11 months with the oem shocks )

The car feels stiffer

comfort mode feels great

Actually I can tell without see
the difference between the mods , so noticeable!!!

I'm going to drive around 500 km of great roads
I will share more after than

Simply posting preliminary thoughts pretty much sold the KW DDC's to many fence sitters including myself. Exactly my concerns with being too low, thank you for the feedback.

Ride looks amazing.

mitch32 · 11-02-2017, 04:01 PM

REVIEW REVIEW!!!!!! Concerned about is there a noticeable difference between drive modes (comfort vs sport vs sport plus), and how is it on bad roads are bumps handled well.

The roads by our shop are not that great, I have to say that the KW DDC ride very well. Considerably better than V3 or CS2/3.

There is a considerable difference between all 3 modes.

ashmostro · 11-12-2017, 11:04 AM

Is the DDC when integrated into the OEM EDC actually adaptive? That is, does the damping rate change as road and driving conditions vary, or is it simply three distinct, but fixed, damping settings? Thanks

elmerzasty · 11-12-2017, 01:21 PM

The EDC ECU is not replaced, so the „adaptivability” should work the same as with OEM.

swifty · 11-13-2017, 11:05 AM

Anyone else with this suspension that can share details on the ride quality etc.

LUKEDOG · 11-13-2017, 05:53 PM

I have also just installed the KW DDC P&P last week. I have noticed the sport+ is stiffer than it was, but not overly so. Certainly not as stiff as the Bilstein PSS9 I had on my previous car. However, in fairness I have my full winter (Nokian) tires on right now, so the car drives like it's on marshmallows. I'm sure it would feel much different with my summer tires. I never really thought there was a tremendous difference between the three modes from the factory, so coming from that viewpoint, I would say it has a similar drive comfort level after installing the KW. However, generally stiffer, and most noticeably in sport+. I have my ride height set to the midpoint both front and rear. I wouldn't go lower, especially with my front lip. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with ride quality and height.

Stuff:
'18 Frozen black Comp pack
Dinan exhaust
Sterckenn Carbon
Burger Tunning spacers
HRE FF01 Wheels for summer

clutchdj · 11-19-2017, 08:51 PM

How much wheel & tire clearance do you guys have left in the front with those external reservoirs and height/collar adjusters. Is anyone running 265s up front.

LUKEDOG · 11-19-2017, 10:01 PM

My winter tires are 255 square set up.

domino_z · 11-19-2017, 10:16 PM

any feedback on how the dampening is in comfort mode vs stock

+1. I really want to know the answer to this question too before pulling the trigger. A lot of crap roads in my area and I use the car as my daily.

Brickologic · 12-12-2017, 11:11 AM

It's still adaptive.

How's the handling? What's the benefit of this vs the M Performance HAS?
