Product Description

Take your Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray's suspension performance to the next level with the KW Variant 5 Coilover Suspension Kit. Developed using KW's advanced motorsport suspension technology, the V5 system provides independently adjustable high-speed and low-speed compression and rebound damping, giving drivers exceptional control over handling, ride quality, and chassis response.

Featuring KW's innovative Solid Piston Technology, the Variant 5 system delivers precise damper response with minimal delay. Its advanced hydraulic design is engineered to reduce hysteresis and maintain consistent damping performance during cornering, braking, acceleration, and changing road conditions.

Unlike traditional two-way adjustable coilovers, the KW V5 offers four-way damping adjustment, allowing independent tuning of low-speed compression, high-speed compression, low-speed rebound, and high-speed rebound. Each damping circuit provides a 13-click adjustment range, allowing owners to tailor the suspension to their preferred driving style.

The system features a low-pressure gas design operating at approximately 6–10 bar, helping maintain consistent damping behavior while balancing responsive handling with everyday ride comfort.

Ride height is also adjustable, with an application-specific lowering range of approximately 20–40mm (0.8–1.6 inches) at both the front and rear axles. This allows owners to reduce wheel gap, lower the vehicle's center of gravity, and achieve a more aggressive stance.

Part number 30961034 is specifically configured for C8 Stingray models equipped with both factory Magnetic Ride Control and the original front-axle lift system. The kit includes an electronic damping cancellation solution to accommodate replacement of the factory electronically controlled shock absorbers.

Designed for performance-focused Corvette owners seeking advanced suspension adjustability, the KW Variant 5 Coilover Kit combines sophisticated damping technology, customizable ride height, and precise chassis control in a premium suspension package.
