KW Suspension Coilovers Lotus

KW Coilovers for Lotus

Coilovers.com is the authorized USA dealer for KW Suspension coilovers across the Lotus lineup. We carry KW fitments for Elise, Exige, Evora, Europa S, and select other Lotus platforms. KW brings German engineering and TÜV-certified construction to British chassis engineering that ranks among the most damping-sensitive production cars built — a combination where the precision of the coilover matters as much as the chassis it bolts to.

Call us at 1-800-460-9106 to talk through your build. Free shipping on most KW Lotus coilover kits sold within the United States and Canada.

Note on naming: V1, V2, and V3 are how customers commonly shop these kits. KW also references them as the KW V1 (Variant 1), KW V2 (Variant 2), and KW V3 (Variant 3) series — same product, same Series tier.

Why Lotus Drivers Choose KW

Lotus chassis engineering is among the most respected in the production car world. The Elise, Exige, and Evora are built around lightweight aluminum tubs with stiff chassis architecture that rewards damping precision in a way most road cars cannot match. KW's tier-one OEM-supplier credentials and TÜV certification deliver damping engineered to the precision standard the Lotus chassis can express.

The customers who buy KW for Lotus from us share a common profile. They drive Elise track day builds, Exige time-attack setups, or Evora canyon and weekend track day cars. They want German engineering, TÜV certification, and the durability standard. KW delivers consistently.
