KW HLS 4 Upgrade OE Suspension for Porsche Carrera GT

KW HLS 4 Upgrade OE Suspension for Porsche Carrera GT

Due to the low center of gravity many super cars have less ground clearance. In order to be able to drive over speed bumps or steep ramps in parking garages without any problems, KW has developed their KW Hydraulic Lift System. At the touch of a button the HLS system lifts vehicles by up to 45mm allowing obstacles to be negotiated without a problem. Compatible with their KW coilover suspension or with the original suspension depending on vehicle type and application.

Ride Height Adjust-Ability With More Ground Clearance at the Push of a Button

With the KW HLS lift system you can lift your sports car or lowered vehicle to safely negotiate obstacles such as speed bumps, railroad crossings, road construction, garage approaches and underground car parks. Depending on the version of the HLS lift system your vehicle can be hydraulically lifted either at the front axle or at both axles by up to 45 mm. This prevents accidental damage to your aero components, underbody protection or even oil sump. The lift system is available either as a vehicle-specific solution with or without a KW coilover kit, depending on the type of car and the model. If you cannot find your vehicle in our KW HLS product range, KW engineers have also developed a universal lift system.

KW HLS systems are available in two different variations. The HLS 2 lift system is only installed on the front axle. The HLS 4 system allows you to lift the entire vehicle. A hydraulic cylinder is installed between spring perch and springs on each of the KW struts. The great advantage of the hydraulic system is that driving dynamics are not affected. The delivery content for all HLS systems include a control unit, which is connected to the vehicles on-board electronics. The vehicle will be automatically lowered at a certain speed to the original level of the KW coilover kit or your factory suspension.

For a wide range of super cars and performance vehicles KW HLS is available as an application-specific solution. Included in the delivery is all the necessary parts for installation including the hydraulic lines & hydraulic pump adapted to your vehicle. All of the components will fit perfectly in your car. If you want to combine the HLS with your factory suspension or upgrade to our KW coilovers, the choice is yours. Alpina, BMW M, Manthey, Mercedes-Benz AMG, Novitec Rosso and many well-known international automotive companies place their trust in KW HLS systems and coilover kits.

Continuous Ride Height Adjustment

With KW HLS system that includes coilovers you can achieve maximum lowering within an approved lowering range that ensures a proper functioning suspension with adequate travel after your car is lowered. Even after years of use you can easily adjust the ride height thanks to the dirt resistant trapezoid thread and composite adjustment collar.

As with all KW coilovers their engineers develop vehicle specific damper and spring specifications which undergo comprehensive testing on the Nürburgring Nordschleife and in their KW 7-post Driving Dynamic Test Center. With a KW HLS coilover kit the driving experience is more dynamic and direct.
