About KW

As a an enthusiastic car owner you already know that your car’s suspension system is a multiplicity of things including the tires, tire air, springs, shock absorbers, struts, anti-sway bars and linkages and that the job of the suspension system is to support road handling as well as ride quality. In order to accomplish these goals you need a suspension system that accomplishes the task of keeping your car’s wheels on the road where they belong, smoothing out your ride, keeping your car under your control and protecting your car by limiting the impact of unfavorable road conditions. As an extra bonus the right suspension system can provide a more comfortable ride for you and your passengers and can protect cargo you may be carrying. So needless to say you do not want a suspension system that has worn components but you might also want an aftermarket suspension component that helps to enhance your car’s performance. And it goes without saying that you want to buy these parts from a manufacturer you can feel confident will give you a dependable and state of the art product and KW automotive is just such a company and their illustrious history and proven successes will lead you to agree.

Although KW automotive was started as a small company in 1992 it quickly grew through innovations like the KW coilover suspension born in 1996 and they have been on a forward track ever since. One can only conclude that this is due to their desire to offer you only the best and to do what it takes to make that happen.

A prime example of that is their development of an avant-garde test facility in 2006, a 7-post drive dynamics test facility able to simulate a disparity of race track conditions and one of only 15 such facilities around the world with the majority of these used by Formula 1 teams. So you can see how dedicated KW is to making the best possible product and with this kind of technology KW is afforded phenomenal opportunities to test applications for both the automotive and motorsports industry.

This desire is what led to the development of its brand new impressive dampening system known as the “Variant 3” with its patented double adjustable technology and “inox-line” that can be tuned to the driver’s preferences or vehicle modifications. This unique design offers you the ability to increase compression damping force in order to optimize grip from the tires, improve cornering behavior and reduce squat without affecting the rebound damping characteristics

But being content with what they have already accomplished is not the way of KW and for this reason KW introduced the first suspension control unit for vehicles with standard air suspension that can be continually lowered by use of a smartphone application. KW has accomplished what few in the industry have been able to do and that is to offer its customers a preeminent suspension program that includes an outstanding array of products ranging from springs over sports suspensions to coilover suspensions. It is no wonder KW suspension successfully entered the motorsports arena and can boast that their products are used by racing teams worldwide.

All of the aforementioned accomplishments and others are why KW can proudly tout that they are represented worldwide, and now employ in the neighborhood of two hundred people in as many as five locations and that their headquarters in Fichtenberg, Germany is an impressive 247,500 square feet.

KW

KW Coilover suspensions are manufactured for a large number of vehicles, and are sold all around the world. The initials KW, and the trademark colors of yellow and purple, stand for individuality, quality and security.

Security on many levels: During manufacturing of KW Coilover suspensions, the highest quality materials are used to produce individual suspension solutions that enable customers to adjust vehicle height according to their wishes and needs. Within the TÜV-tested adjustment parameters, this can be easily achieved using the purple-colored aluminum spring collars by adjusting the position of the yellow coated springs upwards or downwards via a specially designed exterior thread. In doing so, the vehicle height can be precisely adjusted, and customers receive exactly the result they want and/or need. The stainless steel strut housings are fitted the specific vehicle, and are available in three different damping technologies. With this variety, KW Coilover suspensions in Variants 1, 2 and 3 can meet the exact requirements of every customer. The complete systems including high-quality yellow springs, purple aluminum components and Elastomer bump stops with integrated dust protection system, provide a unique comprehensive solution for a personalized vehicle suspension system that meets all performance and quality demands.

These are some of the items you can find at LMPerformance for your Acura

If you are adding a body kit to your Acura CL Integra, NSX, RSX, TL OR TSX for aesthetic reasons only then you have a varied range of materials to choose from but if you are doing it to improve performance then aerodynamics is one of the most important deciding factors. Late Model Performance offers you body kits specific to your Acura CL, Integra, NSX, RSX, LT or TSX. The DURAFLEX brand by the transcendent manufacturer Extreme Dimensions took the fiberglass market by storm with the DURAFLEX aerodynamics by a marriage of fiberglass, plastic, and flex resins to obtain sui generis features allowing DURAFLEX aero parts a much higher durability rate than the average fiberglass product and the primer finish helps you get that paint job done faster and with outstanding results. We also can supply you with the DURAFLEX Bumper (Front), Bumper (Rear) and Side Skirts if you do not need a full body kit at this time.

Upgrading your shocks imparts a miscellany of advantages, ranging from better vehicle stability, to improved control, and in some cases, a smoother ride and a working set of shocks propitiously lessens the wear on your suspension, wheels and tires. The shocks on your Acura are formulated for improved drivability, control, and vehicle stability, but these conditions are terrain-dependent. KONI, the preeminent manufacturer of performance shocks in the world knows this and as a result developed a potpourri of shocks to meet your needs whether it be everyday driving or in situations requiring greater impact dampening - such as racing or off road driving. There are three choices for your Acura: the Street Orange Shock is totally new and is individually tailored and engineered to give your car that KONI sports feel with improved handling and less roll; the Sport Yellow Shock serves Sporting Drivers focusing on road holding and handling, h a reasonable level of driving comfort and usable with spring kits to lower a vehicle up to 35mm; and the FSD Gold shock absorbers; a smart suspension system adjusting automatically to road conditions as well as driving style.

A slipping, sticking or stiff clutch in your Acura or a slipping in your drag vehicle may mean it is time for a change to a Performance Clutch by the inimitable SPEC. Their street high performance and racing clutches and flywheels are manufactured in multitudinous Clutch Kits, from street kit Stage 1,2,2+, 3, and 3+ to Race Kits Stage 4 and 5 and the SPEC Super Twin with TQ ratings of over 1500 FT TQ! The Stage 1 is primo for Street, Drag, Drift, Road Race, Rally, Pulling, Autocross; the Stage 2, 2+, 3, 3+, 4 and 5 can be used for Street, Drag, Pulling, and Autocross; the Super Twin is beneficial in all types of driving; and the Mini Twin is serviceable in limited street, drag, drift, road racing, time attack, pulling and rally driving. Since performance clutches typically involve heavier springs and different disc materials they result in a clutch with more clamping force, meaning more torque can be transmitted without the clutch slipping, and the clutch will be much more likely to grab under aggressive shifting or clutch dumping - perfect for racing and off-road. Because SPEC billet flywheels are manufactured to .001 machine tolerance that, guaranteeing a flat seating surface for the clutch and smooth rotational qualities for perfect balance and extended engine life and they are constructed from only the highest quality steel and aluminum. Quicker revs, more horsepower and increased engine reliability are a result of installing stock appearing aluminum pressure plates. With the SPEC Super Clamp pressure plate, you can expect a 50-60% increase in clamp load above and beyond the increase offered by the standard high clamp pressure plate

Aftermarket performance exhausts create a quicker, more efficient path for exhaust gases to escape meaning your engine "breathes" better, so spent fuel and air exit the combustion chambers faster thus more fuel and air can be burned to create more power.

Each INVIDIA Stainless Exhaust is constructed with high quality SUS304 Stainless Steel, CNC-machined flanges, and manufactured with a polished finish.
