Details

The KW Variant 1 has proven to be one of the better values in the coilover market. They are a great value and even with the pre-set dampening they are well worth considering on your short list for entry level coilovers. They offer Sporty Handling with factory pre-set damping. While they do not have lots of the adjustments that other coilovers have (including the Variant 2 and 3's which we also have), they are at a great price point and may be just the perfect solution for many MINI owners out there that do not need or want the extra features and higher price tag. The ideal system for customers wishing to rely on the experience of our engineers to set the damper setting, yet determine their own degree of lowering. In extensive driving tests KW engineers have set the dampers for the best balance between sporty driving, comfort and safety. The user is then free to decide the best height setting for their use and preference.
* Optimally pre-set
* Sporty harmonious damping technology
* Stainless steel technology "inox-line"
* Individually height-adjustable
* Lowering range approved by the German Technical Control Board (TÜV)
* Fully finished complete solutions
* High-quality component parts for long durability
Lowering front: 1.2"-2.3"

Customers' comments

Excellent fit. I bought the matte black to try and match the rest of the trim and it looks factory installed.

Removing the OE chrome grill "nuts" was a bit of a pain, so I elected to just snap the plastic threads off rather than attempt to remove them. I wouldn't plan on keeping the OE grill as the plastic threads and stamped nuts are practically destroyed no matter how gentle you are.

The upper grill snaps in and use the same fasteners as the OE. The new stamped nuts can be a bit annoying, just seat the nut on the ball of your thumb and turn. Once the nut cuts into the plastic use a nut-driver to snug up--don't over tighten.

The lower grill just snaps in. I cleaned and plasti coted the bumper black, as you can see the bumper color behind the new grill--my car is red so it really stood out.

This grill makes the car look so much better and more up to date. I really like it.

*plasti-cote is your new best friend*

Thank you very much for your generosity shown to our Club with the presentation of the MC2 magazines, Outmotoring shirts, plate frames, etc. Our members will be truly overjoyed when they receive them at our meeting. As I tell everyone, Outmotoring is a first class operation.
Thank you very much.

In this "internet age" we find ourselves searching for the best price we can find. All the while not thinking about the "value" of customer service. Is an extra dollar or two in your pocket worth bad service? The answer is no!

While Out Motoring offers competitive pricing, the one thing no other on-line vendor can provide is the amazing and excellent customer service provided by the Out Motoring Team.

Their responsiveness, professionalism, knowledge and ability to accommodate a customers needs are world class and second to none!

Good service DOES have "value" and it's worth paying for! So my advice is before you waste time trying to find a better price elsewhere think about what it might cost you in the long run should you encounter a problem.

It's better to do business with a company like Out Motoring which is professional, customer focused AND offers competitive pricing.

Out Motoring has set the benchmark for all other on-line retailers who have forgotten the meaning of customer service.

Advantages: Convenience, easy to navigate parts finder, superior customer service.

Disadvantages: I wish there was a bigger variety of OEM accessories (but not a deterrent for doing business).
