Default Something new from KW: KW DDC ECU Coilover Kit

I'm not sure if you guys have heard about the new KW DDC ECU Coilover kits by KW, but it sure looks promising.

With the new Dynamic Damping Control, DDC, KW has designed a new coilover suspension, which uses the original 3-way button to adjust the damping. KW combines the individual height adjustability of the coilover suspension with the adaptive OEM damping control.

The driver can choose between 3 modes: "Comfort" for bad road conditions or just a relax ride, "Normal" for sporty daily use as the best compromise between performance and ride comfort or "Sport" for best handling and response.

Fichtenberg, May 9th, 2012 - Three modes driving pleasure and the opportunity to adjust the damper characteristics via iPhone, this is what the KW DDC ECU coilover kit makes possible. With the free KW DDC App, the dampers can individually be configured via an iPhone, iPad or an iPod touch. For the secured WiFi-connection to the suspension control unit, only an optional W-LAN module is required. The KW DCC ECU coilover kit allows a continuous lowering of up to 40 mm within the German TÜV-tested adjustment range.

More Info: http://www.kw-suspensions.eu/int/kw_ddc.php

Currently applications are limited to VW, but I heard there will be more applications available eventually...hopefully a 350z application?

What are your thoughts on this system? Yay or nay?

probably would never be a 350z application. the 350z has no master control to operate the system (comfort, sport, etc) so something would have to be sold separate to operate them. tein has the EDFC for the flex system and Tanabe has a controller for the sustec pro 5 and 7.

If there isn't a 350z application why is this being advertised on a 350z dedicated site?

I want one. Looks like I'll save up till it comes out (if it comes out) and I'll probably still be short a grand.

I wasn't meaning to advertise a 350z specific KW DDC ECU kit, but just saw it online and wanted to present to the community to share & discuss. Who knows? Maybe they will release a 350z specific kit.

That's pretty cool and impressive! Probably will be expensive, but it was interesting to see it in action.

No harm, no foul. It just resembles a product promo because you're a vendor here.

I don't see why they couldn't do a Z application. It would just have to be a standalone control unit and not integrated into the ECU.

Let's hope that KW steps up for the Z owners.
