Whether at Spa-Francorchamps, IMSA in Laguna Seca, Portimao, or the Tuning World Bodensee, all organizers welcomed numerous spectators.<\/p>\n

With KW V2 and a thick Audi TT VR6 and DSG gearbox to the final of the European Tuning Showdown \u2014 Massimo Spagnoli from Italy proves that you can also be at the forefront of Show&Shine with a coilover suspension kit! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At our more or less home game at the Tuning World Bodensee, we were at the epicenter of the tuning scene with our suspension brands\u00a0ap\u00a0Sportfahrwerke, KW suspensions, and ST suspensions.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Long-standing KW specialist dealers such as TPS Performance and Aulitzky Tuning were also on-site at the Tuning World Bodensee 2024 \u2014 so to speak, KW was everywhere in Friedrichshafen. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Over the four days of the Friedrichshafen consumer show Tuning World Bodensee 2024 over 100,000 visitors came to the exhibition. In total 109,500 tuning enthusiasts were there!<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

At\u00a0the BBS and KW stand, we presented four strong project vehicles, including the beautiful BMW M2 with KW V3 coilover suspension from our long-standing partner Extreme Customs.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

For the electrified Audi e-tron GT (FW), we showed not only BBS alloy wheels in Friedrichshafen but also the prototype of the suspension application.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

We don\u2019t know precisely when the KW V4 coilover suspension kit for the \u201cupper-class sports car\u201d with up to 475 kW of power will be available. We\u2019ll have more on this soon.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Our KW V5 coilover suspensions have been available since the end of 2019.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Since we presented the KW V5 or KW Variant 5 coilover suspension at the Essen Motor Show 2019, we have been increasingly developing our coilover suspensions based on the Solid Piston technology used in the V5. <\/p>\n

  • \n
    KW DDC with Solid Piston Shock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    We have already been using this suspension technology in selected applications such as the KW V5 Clubsport coilover suspension, KW V5 Klassik coilover suspensions, KW V5 coilover suspension, as well as in selected KW DDC coilover suspensions with two electromagnetic proportional valves, and our KW V5 Racing suspension kits.<\/p>\n

    <\/figure>\n

    Our \u201cdemo car\u201d in Friedrichshafen was a Lamborghini Hurac\u00e1n Tecnica, for which we now also have the KW V5 coilover suspension with parts certificate in our delivery program.<\/p>\n

    <\/figure>\n

    Speaking of parts certificates, especially for fans of the classic Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34), we now have our KW Klassik coilover suspensions with parts certificates. Since the R34 was never officially sold in Germany and was here in the home of cars, only a \u201cgrey import\u201d, we had neither a parts certificate for the KW V3 coilover suspension nor the Clubsport suspensions. This has not been the case since the Tuning World Bodensee 2024.<\/p>\n

    Classic: VW Golf Mk1 GTI from 1979 with KW Classic V3 coilover set<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    \u00a0A VW Golf 1 GTI was also classic at our stand; after all, the Golf 1 will celebrate its 50th birthday in 2024 and is thus five years older than our brand ST suspensions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    <\/figure>\n

    In 2024, our ST suspensions brand is a partner of the new AvD Drift Championship, and this championship, which is held exclusively in Germany, had its official championship run on the event grounds of the car show.<\/p>\n

    <\/figure>\n

    For this reason, we also presented the BMW M4 of the \u201cRed Bull Drift Brothers\u201d in drift spec at the ST suspensions stand. Depending on the setup, the G82 has over 1,000 hp and is used in various championships with a drift spec based on a KW racing suspension. <\/p>\n

    <\/figure>\n

    At the ap Sportfahrwerke booth, we celebrated the tuning community with the Honda CRX with a widebody kit, refined to the last detail. The CRX, lowered to the asphalt with an\u00a0ap\u00a0coilover suspension kit, is the work of Honda enthusiast Jaro Mares.<\/p>\n

    Sim racer Adam Pinczes from Team Brabham Motorsport won the Tuning World Bodensee Community Cup 2024. Marko Pe\u0161i\u0107 from Veloce Esports came second, and Julian Kunze from Needracing.com came third. Congratulations.<\/p>\n

    Full house and double victory in Spa-Francorchamps at the third round of the FIA WEC 2024! <\/strong><\/p>\n
