Description
For sports cars and lowered vehicles, navigating common road obstacles such as speed bumps, railroad crossings, construction zones, and steep driveways can be a daunting task. The KW Hydraulic Lift-System (HLS) provides an innovative solution by allowing you to increase your vehicle's ground clearance at the push of a button, ensuring you can tackle everyday hurdles without damaging your car's undercarriage or aerodynamic components.
Seamless Ground Clearance Adjustment
The KW HLS enables you to hydraulically raise your vehicle by up to 45 mm, providing ample clearance to safely overcome various road impediments. The system is available in two configurations:
- HLS 2: Lifts the front axle of the vehicle.
- HLS 4: Lifts both the front and rear axles of the vehicle.
By integrating hydraulic cylinders between the spring plate and springs of each KW strut, the HLS ensures that your vehicle's dynamic performance remains uncompromised while offering the flexibility to adjust ride height as needed.
Versatile Application and Integration
The KW HLS is designed as a versatile solution that can be seamlessly integrated with:
- KW Coilover Kits: For those seeking the ultimate in performance and adjustability, the HLS can be paired with KW's renowned coilover kits. Trusted by automotive industry leaders like Alpina, BMW M, Manthey, Mercedes-Benz AMG, and Novitec Rosso, KW coilovers are a top choice for enhancing handling and ride quality.
- OEM Suspension: If you prefer to retain your vehicle's original suspension setup, the HLS can be installed as a standalone upgrade, providing additional ground clearance without altering the factory ride characteristics.
- Universal Lift System: For vehicles not listed in our specific application range, KW offers a universal lift system engineered by our expert team to accommodate a wide variety of makes and models.
User-Friendly Operation and Control
Activating the KW HLS is effortless and can be done through:
- Interior LED Control Button: Conveniently raise or lower your vehicle from inside the cabin with a simple press of a button.
- Optional Remote Control: For added convenience, control the system remotely without accessing the vehicle's interior.
The system is designed to operate while driving at speeds up to 80 km/h, allowing you to adjust ride height on-the-go within 4-5 seconds (for HLS 2). Once a preset speed is exceeded, the control unit automatically lowers the vehicle back to its original ride height, ensuring optimal aerodynamic performance and handling dynamics.
Durable and Corrosion-Resistant Construction
Constructed with high-quality, coated aluminum cylinder components, the KW HLS boasts exceptional corrosion resistance and durability. This robust build quality ensures long-lasting performance, even under demanding driving conditions and in various weather environments.
