Customers most commonly shop these as V1, V2, and V3 coilovers — KW also references them as KW V1 (Variant 1), KW V2 (Variant 2), and KW V3 (Variant 3), which are the same kits at the same Series tiers.

Why Porsche Drivers Choose KW

Porsche is one of the platforms where KW's OEM-supplier credentials matter most. KW supplies factory dampers to Porsche on specific GT-program cars, which means the engineering language and tolerance standards in the aftermarket lineup are the same ones Porsche uses on the factory floor. That OEM-grade engineering pedigree carries through to every Porsche KW fitment in the catalog.

The customers who buy KW for Porsche from us share a common profile. They drive 911s, Caymans, Boxsters, or Macans where factory suspension is already excellent and any aftermarket upgrade has to improve on the engineering without compromising what makes the car a Porsche. They want German engineering pedigree. They want TÜV certification. They want a kit that works with PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management) where the factory chassis has it. KW delivers all three.

KW Porsche Coverage by Chassis

KW for Porsche 911

The 911 is the deepest single-model coverage in the KW Porsche catalog:

964 911 (1989-1994) — Air-cooled 911 with dedicated KW fitments for Carrera, Carrera 4, and Turbo variants.

993 911 (1995-1998) — Last air-cooled 911 generation. Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera S, and Turbo variants covered.

996 911 (1999-2005) — First water-cooled 911. Carrera, Carrera 4, Turbo, and GT3 variants. PASM was not yet standard on 996; most fitments are direct-fit threaded coilovers.

997 911 (2005-2012) — Carrera, Carrera S, Carrera 4S, Turbo, GT3, and GT2 RS variants. PASM-equipped 997s require platform-specific KW configuration.

991 911 (2012-2019) — Carrera, Carrera S, Carrera 4S, Turbo, GT3, and GT3 RS variants. PASM is standard on 991 — most KW fitments include PASM compatibility or cancellation as required.

992 911 (2019+) — Current-generation Carrera, Turbo, GTS, and GT variants. PDCC and PASM integration considerations apply on most 992 KW fitments.

KW for Porsche Cayman and Boxster

The Cayman and Boxster across 987, 981, 982 (718), and 718 generations are covered. Cayman S, Boxster S, GT4, and Spyder variants have dedicated fitments. 718 chassis with PASM require platform-specific consideration. The Cayman GT4 (981 and 982) has dedicated track-focused fitments including KW Clubsport coilovers options.

KW for Porsche Cayenne, Macan, and Panamera

Cayenne SUV across 9PA, 92A, 9YA generations with platform-specific air suspension considerations. Macan SUV. Panamera sedan and Sport Turismo applications. SUV chassis with factory air suspension are typically not direct-fit KW applications — call us for alternatives.

KW for Vintage and Specialty Porsche

944, 968, and 924 platforms for vintage build applications. These are perennial KW fitments for restoration and resto-mod Porsche builds.

Choosing the Right KW Variant for Your Porsche

Most Porsche builds fall into one of three use-case categories.

Daily-driven 911 Carrera, Cayman, Boxster: Variant 1 is the right pick. Fixed factory-engineered damping with no adjustment dials, ride-height adjustability, and OEM-grade KW construction. The V1 preserves the Porsche character that owners expect from the chassis.

Spirited driving 911 Carrera S, GTS, Cayman S, GT4: Variant 2 adds 12-click rebound adjustment. Variant 3 adds independent rebound and compression. Most 911 and Cayman owners running canyon and track-day duty land on V3.

Track-focused GT3, GT3 RS, GT2 RS, or GT4: Variant 3 is the volume-seller track kit. Clubsport is the upgrade for serious motorsport use — the kit that KW develops alongside their Porsche factory program work.

KW Street Comfort coilovers are KW's comfort-focused tier for daily-driven applications where ride quality is the priority. The Street Comfort series sits between V1 and V2 in damping characteristics with calibration tuned for road compliance. Available on supported chassis — call us at 1-800-460-9106 for Street Comfort fitment and pricing.

KW DDC (Dynamic Damping Control) is KW's electronically adjustable damping line. DDC kits add app-controlled or in-cabin adjustable damping to the threaded ride-height platform — particularly suited to dual-purpose street and track builds on supported chassis. Call us at 1-800-460-9106 for DDC availability and chassis-specific options.

Porsche PASM Considerations

PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management) is standard or optional on most modern Porsche platforms. KW handles PASM in two ways depending on the chassis: some fitments include cancellation modules that delete PASM and replace it with KW's mechanical damping, while others integrate with PASM through KW's DDC system that retains the factory electronic damping on a lowered, threaded-body coilover. Each fitment page notes the PASM approach for that chassis. Call us before ordering if your Porsche has PASM — we can confirm the right KW configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will KW fit my Porsche?

KW covers most Porsche chassis from 964 forward. Use the make-and-model filter on the product grid below to confirm fitment for your specific year and chassis. Air-suspension Cayenne, Macan, and Panamera applications are typically not direct-fit — call us at 1-800-460-9106 for alternatives.

Do KW coilovers work with Porsche PASM?

Some KW Porsche fitments work with PASM through DDC integration. Others require cancellation modules. Each fitment page notes the requirements. Call us before ordering if your Porsche has PASM.

What's the best KW kit for a 991 GT3?

The Variant 3 is the most-installed 991 GT3 kit in our catalog. For dedicated track-focused 991 GT3 builds, Clubsport is the upgrade — the kit KW develops alongside their Porsche factory program work.

Are KW coilovers good for the Cayman GT4?

Yes. The Cayman GT4 (981 and 982) has dedicated KW fitments including Clubsport options for track-focused builds. The GT4 platform is one of the strongest Cayman applications in the KW catalog.

Can I run KW on my air-suspension Cayenne or Panamera?

Air-suspension Cayenne, Panamera, and Macan platforms typically are not direct-fit KW applications. The chassis architecture requires different engineering. Call us at 1-800-460-9106 for alternatives.

Do I need an alignment after installing KW on my Porsche?

Yes. After installing any coilover kit, a four-wheel alignment is essential. Porsche chassis are particularly sensitive to alignment after ride-height changes. Plan the alignment as part of the install job.
