Looking for maximum performance for your car? Our adjustable ST XTA Coilover kits are the upgrade you need. All ST XTA systems are delivered with a linear race springs system, adjustable dampers, and aluminum unibal camber adjustable top mounts. ST XTA Coilover kits deliver precise adjustment to your ride height so you control the look of your car. We manufacture the adjustable spring perch made of durable and friction-optimized polyamide composite material with a stainless steel insert. Thanks to the composite material corrosion is prevented between the strut and perch ensuring long lasting height adjustability while the stainless steel insert provides strength and confidence! ST XTA Coilovers come preset to our factory recommended damper settings, the same configuration we test them at on our KW shock dynos before they go into your box. The 16 distinct clicks of adjustable rebound damping allow you to refine the driving dynamics with a simple turn of the adjustment knob. Each kit includes a detailed damper setup manual making it easy to reset to our recommended setting at any time. Whether your preference is comfort, performance, or something in between; ST XTA puts the finer details of the driving dynamics in your hands. The top mounts included with our ST XTA Coilover kits allow you to adjust the camber at the front axle to dial in aggressive wheel and tire fitment. They also allow you to maximize the tire's contact patch for driving in fast corners and any other driving scenario that demands maximum grip. Galvanized zinc coated steel struts optimize corrosion protection for long lasting use. We add a dust protection system to prevent unwanted dirt and particulate from coming in contact with the hardened chrome piston rod or getting into the valve packs. We reinforce the system with a multi-layered pressure resistant sealing package, mono block guide system and a low friction piston band which works inside the pressure resistant internal damper housing.

- Elastomer Bump stop with integrated dust protection system prevents water and dirt particles reaching the piston rod and seals. The highly resilient bump stops act as dynamic load limiters while maintaining ride quality and durability.
- Composite spring perch made from wear-resistant, friction-optimized polyamide composite with an embedded stainless-steel insert. The polyamide composite prevents oxidation while the stainless-steel insert maximizes strength.
- ST coilovers are built by hand by the experts at KW in Fichtenberg, Germany. Each damper is tested on a shock dyno to verify it's making the proper forces before being put into the ST box.
- Seamless Ride Height Adjustment - ST's composite spring perch and unique trapezoidal thread pitch make ride height adjustability a breeze so you can dial in your preferred look.
- Linear race spring system provides a consistent response while driving and makes it easy to swap rates to further personalize your setup.
- Aluminum unibal top mounts improve steering response and feedback while allowing you to dial in your camber when applicable.
- ST XTA coilovers feature adjustable rebound damping which puts you in control of how comfortable or sporty your car feels.
- Galvanized steel housing for improved resistance to corrosion.
