    KW coilover replacement - Can I buy just one?

    Whereever I've looked KW coilovers seem to come as a set.
    Does anybody know where I can buy just one or can you buy just the dampner?

    Thanks in advance!

    For what car? And what type of KW? I have a front pair of used HPA KW SHS in perfectly good order that fit a mkv r32 or gti. You can have them for $100 + shipping.

    From a safety view point shocks/dampers should always be fitted in pairs. I believe KW's can be rebuilt like Konis.

    I also thought that they could be rebuilt (which is what I'm trying to do) but we're can I source individual parts?

    Hi there Speed,

    For sure it is possible to replace a strut for the KW, just need the part numbers and serial numbers listed on the strut for an exact match. Dealers are on the site EVL Motorsports, distributors of KW performance suspension and Akrapovic exhaust systems.

    Cheers

    Thank you Erik,
    I've already emailed preeny the details, which he may have already forwarded to you.
    Turns out that the body is fine but the rod is bent.

    Am just waiting for price for a replacement rod/dampner.

    Details as per the sticker are as follows:
    KW 100 1005
    Art. Nr.: 17710122
    Auftr. Nr.: ATP919

    Is for the front right on a mk4 golf gti

    I don't wish to disrespect preeny and his awesome efforts, so am happy to wait for a price.
    Would be good to know if you have one in stock and how long it would take to be delivered to Sydney.

    Thank you,

    No worries, i will do some background work. Preeny knows what and how and when and the wheres of the KW, so he'll let you know mate. I do the behind the scenes with KW and just these details are essential to match the build as the designs develop and improve over time. I take it the spring/ helper and seat are good?
