ap coilover kits for VW Passat Variant / Sedan!

The coilover kits of the KW automotive brand ap Sportfahrwerke are increasingly becoming an interesting alternative to spare parts for used cars. With immediate effect, ap coilovers are available for selected VW Passat models from the B8, 3C (type 3G, European models), available from November 2014. Depending on the engine and drive geometry, the chassis offered with a parts certificate enable a stepless lowering of 30 to 55 millimeters or 35 to 60 millimeters. The recommended retail price is 729 euros. In addition to the option of a maximum lowering, the ap coilovers give the VW Passat a sporty driving behavior with comparatively sufficient residual comfort. Thanks to the more direct handling, the popular Volkswagen model benefits from safe braking and steering as well as stable road holding. Further information at www.ap.de.

A current application development at ap Sportfahrwerke is a height-adjustable coilover kit for the VW Passat (B8, 3C). Like other components on a vehicle, shock absorbers are also subject to constant wear. The dampers should be subjected to a visual inspection at the latest every time the wheels are changed to winter tires or summer tires. Anyone who notices after a few months after buying a used car that the driving behavior is spongy and the braking distance is getting longer when braking should definitely check the chassis. "Since we at ap Sportfahrwerke have been increasingly developing our ap coilovers for young used cars, we have had increased demand for these applications“, Says ap Brand Manager Dominik Zauner happily. The ap coilover kit for the front-wheel drive Passat sedan and Passat Variant (station wagon) with front-wheel drive is available for 729 euros.

stepless lowering possible

The tested setting range for the stepless lowering for the front-wheel drive sedan and variant is 30 to 55 millimeters on the front and rear axles. The ap coilover kit is also available for the Passat sedan with permanent all-wheel drive (4MOTION). According to the parts certificate, 35 to 60 millimeters are possible on both driven axles. The recommended retail price for the 4MOTION sedan is also 729 euros. Since the coilover kits from ap Sportfahrwerke are initially only available for the European market, the new ap coilover kit is only available for the VW Passat models available in Europe. "We have not developed any ap coilover kits for the Passat models offered by Volkswagen in Asian markets and North America, such as the Type 56 or NMS“, Explains ap Brand Manager Dominik Zauner. "Our ap coilovers, manufactured in Germany, offer a significantly sportier driving behavior than conventional dampers and sports suspensions in the spare parts market."

two year warranty

Before that, ap Sportfahrwerke concentrated mainly on sports suspensions, lowering springs and height-adjustable coilovers for typical vehicle models. The ap coilover kits enable, thanks to the chassis design with sporty-dynamic spring rates and sporty-harmonious coordination with a maximum lowering, a comparatively good ride comfort in their price class. With professional installation as in the enclosed parts certificate and installation instructions by motor vehicle workshops, KW automotive grants a two-year warranty on the coilover kits from ap Sportfahrwerke. "After about 18 months under the umbrella of KW automotive, we were able to align ourselves much more broadly in our segment“, Continues Dominik Zauner from ap Sportfahrwerke.
