KW coilovers Performance Parts & Modifications

When it comes to suspension upgrades, few names carry the reputation and engineering pedigree of KW Automotive. Their coilovers are renowned worldwide for striking the perfect balance between comfort, performance, and durability, making them a go-to choice for enthusiasts and professionals alike. By lowering your vehicle’s centre of gravity and fine-tuning how it handles, KW coilovers deliver sharper cornering, reduced body roll, and a level of control that simply isn’t possible with factory suspension. It’s a true step up in both looks and performance.

One of the biggest advantages of KW coilovers is the range of options available to suit different driving needs. From the ST-X series, designed to give your car a clean, lowered stance with improved agility, through to the ST-XA kits with adjustable damping for those who want to fine-tune ride comfort and sportiness, and the ST-XTA kits, which add camber adjustment and external damping control for maximum track-ready performance—there’s a solution for every driver. No matter which you choose, you’re getting KW’s motorsport-inspired quality at a price point that makes sense.

At Empire Performance, we’re proud to supply KW and ST coilovers to Australian drivers who expect the best from their cars. Every kit we sell is backed by KW’s manufacturing expertise, using high-quality components like chrome-plated piston rods, reinforced housings, and specialised seals that stand up to harsh weather and rough roads. Whether you’re chasing comfort for your daily commute or precision handling for spirited weekend driving, our team can help you find the perfect KW coilover setup for your vehicle.

Choosing the Right KW Coilovers

Not every driver is chasing the same result from their suspension, and that’s where KW really shines. The beauty of their range is that you can choose a kit that perfectly matches your driving style. If your goal is simply to improve your stance and tighten up handling without compromising daily comfort, the ST-X coilovers are a brilliant entry point. For those who want more flexibility, the ST-XA range adds adjustable dampers, letting you switch between a softer ride for long commutes and a firmer feel when you want to push the car harder. And if maximum performance is the goal, the ST-XTA kits deliver full adjustability, including camber settings—a real advantage for track days or drivers who want their suspension dialled in to the finest detail.

When choosing the right coilover kit, it’s not just about how low you want to go, but how you plan to use your car day-to-day. Some customers prioritise comfort for street driving, while others want sharper response and better control at higher speeds. At Empire Performance, we work with you to weigh up these factors and recommend the kit that best fits your needs and budget. With KW’s proven engineering and our experience helping Australian drivers upgrade their suspension, you’ll get a solution that feels right the moment you hit the road.

Installation, Maintenance & Practical Use

KW coilovers are designed as complete kits, meaning they’re a direct replacement for your factory suspension. For most vehicles, installation is straightforward, though we always recommend having a professional handle the job to ensure correct fitment and setup. After fitting coilovers, a wheel alignment is essential to make sure your car tracks straight, your tyres wear evenly, and you get the full benefit of the upgrade. Our team can also advise on workshops across Australia that know how to work with performance suspension and can get your kit dialled in properly.

Once installed, KW coilovers are known for their durability and low maintenance, thanks to features like corrosion-resistant housings and high-quality seals that keep out dirt and moisture. Like any performance component, it pays to check them over occasionally for signs of wear or debris, especially if you drive in tough conditions. With proper care, a set of KW coilovers will last for years, keeping your car sharp, responsive, and comfortable. And because you’re buying through Empire Performance, you get not only genuine KW products but also support and advice whenever you need it.
