The ST X coilover kit is a ride-height-adjustable suspension for the B5/B5.5 Volkswagen Passat, engineered and built by hand at KW in Germany. Galvanized zinc-coated steel strut housings and a friction-optimized polyamide composite spring perch with a stainless-steel insert resist corrosion for long-lasting height adjustability. Dampers and spring rates are tuned specifically for this application to balance sporty handling with everyday road comfort.
