KW HLS Hydraulic Lift System
For easy driving over various obstacles for sporty cars with low ground clearance
More ground clearance at the touch of a button
With the HLS lift system, you can raise your sports car or lowered vehicle to safely drive over obstacles such as speed bumps, speed humps, level crossings, construction sites, garage and underground parking garage entrances. Depending on the version of the HLS lift system installed, either the front axle or both axles of your vehicle are raised hydraulically by up to 45 millimetres.
This prevents your aerodynamic components, underbody protection or even the oil pan from being damaged. Depending on the vehicle type and model, the lift system is available as a vehicle-specific solution with or without KW coilover suspension. If your vehicle is not yet included in our KW HLS product range, our engineers have also developed a universal lift system.
Convincing solution made by KW
Our HLS is available as an application-specific solution for a wide range of super sports cars and even for compact models. All the components supplied, such as the hydraulic lines and hydraulic pump, are adapted to your vehicle and therefore all our components harmonize perfectly with your sports car. Whether you combine the HLS with your standard suspension or with our KW coilovers in stainless steel, which are among the world's top aftermarket products, is up to you to decide. Alpina, BMW M, Manthey, Mercedes-Benz AMG, Novitec Rosso and many other well-known companies in the international automotive industry have already opted for KW.
The “HLS 2” version of the lift kit, which is only installed on the front axle, allows you to lift the front of your sports car. If you opt for the “HLS 4” variant, your entire vehicle will be lifted. For this purpose, a hydraulic cylinder is mounted between the spring plate and spring on each KW coilover strut. The great advantage of the hydraulic system is that there is no compression (movement) of the extended cylinder unit during driving (no unwanted additional suspension) and therefore the driving dynamics cannot be impaired. The scope of delivery for all HLS Lift Kit variants also includes a control unit that is connected to the vehicle's on-board electronics. As a result, the vehicle is automatically lowered to the original depth of the KW coilover suspension or your standard suspension from a certain speed.
