Within each KW damper there are two tubes - the inner tube, which contains the piston and the majority of the damping fluid, and the outer tube which surrounds the inner tube and works as a reservoir for the damping fluid and helps to maintain consistent damper performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhen encountering a bump or undulation the damper enters the compression phase. As the bump is driven over, the spring on the coilover is compressed. Kinetic energy is generated and accumulated in the spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDuring the compression stroke, the piston rod displaces the oil in the inner tube, which passes through the compression valve located at the bottom of the inner tube. The flow resistance at the compression valve generates the compression damping force. This flow resistance causes the speed of the compression stroke to slow down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDuring this process, some of the oil beneath the compressing piston flows upwards through the check valve at low resistance, filling the inner tube behind the piston with oil, ensuring consistent performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDuring the rebound stroke, kinetic energy accumulated in the spring is transformed into heat energy internally as the damper rebounds. The speed at which this happens is controlled by the flow resistance of the rebound valve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs the piston rebounds the oil above the piston in the inner tube flows through the holes in the rebound valve. The resistance offered by this valve controls the rebound velocity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhilst this is happening, oil stored in the outer tube flows back into the inner tube via the check valve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe compression and rebound phases are complete and the high-quality KW damper helps keep the wheel in contact with the tarmac and under control at all times.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Suspension Secrets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68095023841576,"sku":null,"price":1260.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0767\/5147\/0888\/files\/BMW_M3_V1.png?v=1793823360","url":"https:\/\/iwujiperformance.com\/products\/kw-v1-coilovers-bmw-e46-m3","provider":"Iwuji Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
