What is a ‘Variant 2’ kit?
The Variant 2 is intended for the more experienced driving enthusiast who wants to fine tune the rebound setting of their dampers as well as the ride height of their car. The vehicles pitch and roll behaviour can be adjusted to suit the driver’s particular style and taste. The Variant 2 is an ideal kit for road and track use.

The dampers
Variant 2 dampers are fully adjustable for rebound. The damper bodies are made from a stainless steel alloy and have a mirror polished finish. Not only does this look amazing, but this material will far outlast any other galvanised damper body. The dampers feature hardened chrome piston rods, Teflon coated pistons and superior quality seals & valves.

The springs
The spring rates have been specially tuned to suit this vehicle, taking into account its weight and dynamics. The springs are manufactured from chrome-silicon steel (54SiCR6), which is shot-peened, zinc phosphate plated and powder coated.

Height adjustment
The springs mount onto seats which can be wound up or down the damper body to achieve a lowering anywhere between 40mm and 75mm (both front and rear). A grub screw in each spring seat is a neat touch which locks the seat in place.

This kit will fit…
This KW kit is suitable for all Audi S6 models manufactured between 1997 and 2004. It is suitable for saloon or estate versions.

This kit is not suitable for models with automatic self levelling control.

PLEASE NOTE
Due to the design of this cars suspension the front dampers can only be adjusted off the car.

Lowering a vehicle by 50mm or more may, under certain circumstances, cause tyre/arch clearance problems.

As with all suspension kits it may be necessary to fit spacers/shims behind the wheels for a little added clearance. This depends greatly on the wheel/tyre sizes being used.
