The all-new Toyota
Supra is a magnet for aftermarket companies and Germany’s KW Automotive makes
no exception. The suspension manufacturer has released details about the first
fully adjustable coilover suspension kit for the latest Supra A90, the KW
Variant 3. The aftermarket suspension is said to improve the Japanese sports
car’s lateral dynamics without sacrificing ride quality in normal driving
conditions on public roads.
Despite lowering
the ride height by up to 40 mm, the suspension absorbs road
irregularities “harmoniously” and prevents bumpy driving behavior as the
bodywork’s pitch and roll movements are noticeably reduced.
The multi-valve
dampers offer separate adjustment of compression (16 clicks) and rebound (12
clicks) settings therefore offering a multitude of setups according to the
driver’s preferences. KW says this motorsport-derived technology allows for a
“driving behavior as tight as necessary and as comfortable as possible.” As a
matter of fact, the Toyota Supra that raced at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring
earlier this year also used a KW suspension with separately adjustable
compression and rebound dampers.
Looking at the
photos, it’s pretty obvious that the KW adjustable coilover suspension kit also
improves the 2020 Supra’s looks. Thanks to the lower ride height, the sports
car appears more planted and menacing. The prices for theKW Variant 3 Coilover
kit haven’t been released yet.
