Under lab conditions, we develop the vehicle-specific basic setup for our KW coilover kits which are tested and developed on our 7-post rig
Is a V8 always needed? No way. Nevertheless, we were in awe when we saw the Ford Mustang Mach-E for the first time. The car doesn’t look like a Mustang, and the SUV is fully electric.
For us at KW, it doesn’t matter whether we develop a coilover kit for cars with a conventional drive or with an electric drive. We have been developing various coilovers for several electric vehicles – not only as an accessory.
For example, we developed a OEM coilover kit for the 1900 HP electric hypercar Rimac Nevera
The electric hypercars Pininfarina Battista and Rimac Nevera are equipped with our ex-works coilover kits. At Ford, our engineering team is also participating in developing new coilovers.
Here, we support the automotive manufacturers in the coordination process, the development, and the production of the multiple adjustable coilover kit in the Ford Pro Electric Supervan Concept.
We developed a coilover kit for the 2000 HP electric bus of Ford. For more information, please visit our KW automotive blog
The Ford Supervan accelerates in two seconds from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour. Like the Ford Mustang Mach-E, the van also counts on electric motors.
We won’t participate in the discussion of whether electric mobility is good because we do not have a reason. With our coilover kits, we at KW can increase with our innovative suspension kits driving fun to almost every electric car. We also developed a KW coilover kit for the Ford Mustang Mach-E SUV.
Many that decide to buy an SUV – a so-called Sports Utility Vehicle – rarely drive off-road. Furthermore, many of them contact us to ask whether we have coilover kits for the Audi RSQ3, BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE, Porsche Macan, Tesla Model Y, and many more.
All our customers desire more driving fun, and some want a car with a good stance. Since the electric SUV Mustang Mach-E has become increasingly popular in the US, the requests for coilover developments have increased.
In October 2022, Ford USA sold more Mustang Mach-E models than in 2021. The Mustang Mach-E overtook the latest Ford Mustang models with V8 and four-cylinder eco boost, referring to some US car registration statistics. In 2023 the seventh Ford Mustang generation will be launched. In Germany, the new Mustang model will be available in the Summer of 2023.
The KW V3 coilover kit is separately adjustable in compression and rebound, and therefore one of the most popular coilovers in the aftermarket
We currently offer our popular KW V3 coilover kit for the Mustang Mach-E. With the heavy electric SUV, our complex coilover technology used in the KW V3 can unfold itself entirely.
Coilover kits that are adjustable in compression and rebound aren’t only for motorsports or too complicated for amateurs. Nevertheless, there are many so-called social media- and forum engineers that know it all better. But people who have some real expertise in topics regarding suspensions and coilover setups know that most of those self-proclaimed experts are mostly more from the hardparking businees.
A damper that can be adjusted individually in compression and rebound has many more reserves to control dynamic vertical movements while driving. With dynamic vertical motions, the deflection of the wheel is addressed.
The suspension struts of the KW V3 coilover kit for the Mustang Mach-E are made of stainless steel
Basically, everybody with only a little coilover knowledge knows that dampers transform the motion energy of the coilover spring into thermal energy. Thanks to individual and separated settings, everybody can influence the driving characteristic of the Mach-E within a few simple steps.
The coilover setup is optimally pre-adjusted for the electric SUV when we manufacture the coilover. Nevertheless, every driver has a unique driving sensation, and one can take that kind of sensation into account with the KW V3. Simply said, the task of the rebound is to connect the chassis of the Mustang to the road. The compression has an influence on the deflection of the springs and supports the body of the car.
When you adjust the rebound valve in the KW V3 with the adhuster knob on the piston rod, it significantly impact your vehicle’s handling. Depending on your preference, your Ford can either steer more responsively or feel slightly more indirect with the 16 click steps. The rebound setting also affects the relaxation rate of the suspension spring, determining how quickly it returns to its original position. This feature is crucial for achieving the perfect ride for your car’s suspension system.
Using the integrated compression adjustment wheel located on the lower suspension housing, you can manually fine-tune the compression setting. This feature offers a total of twelve clicks to customize your Mustang SUV’s performance. By opening the compression valve, your car will dive into turns more quickly. However, if you close the compression setting, your Mach-E will be even more supported, providing better stability during turns and greatly improving overall driving safety.
Here you can see our coilover kit animation which illustrates the functionality of our KW V3 damper technology
What’s special about the KW multi-valve-technology for compression and rebound is that we use non-adjustable high-speed valves to provide additional damping when driving the Ford Mustang Mach-E over rough roads or bumps. The pre-configured high-speed compression damping allows for quick compression during sudden dips while preventing the tire from losing grip due to overly stiff low-speed compression settings.
The KW V3 suspension system makes daily driving maneuvers in the Mach-E a breeze. It delivers a secure driving experience and enhances overall comfort, ensuring you feel in complete control at all times.
