More ground clearance by the push of a button
With the HLS lift system you can lift your sports car or lowered vehicle to safely navigate obstacles such as speedbumps, railroad crossings, road works, garages and underground car parks. Depending on the version of the HLS lift system your vehicle can be hydraulically lifted either at the front axle or on both axles by up to 45 mm.
This prevents damage to your aerodynamic components, underbody protection, and even oil sump. The lift system is available as a vehicle-specific solution either with or without a KW coilover kit, depending on the type of car and model. If you cannot find your vehicle in our KW HLS product range, our engineers have also developed a universal lift system.

Installation Story – Porsche 911 GT3 RS with KW HLS
The speedbump is the natural enemy of lowered cars. Rail road crossings or garage exits are also a threat to spoilers and underbody. Ugly scratches or even torn parts can be a result of hitting such obstacles.
KW HLS lifts your car by the push of a button by up to 45 mm in order to negotiate obstacles without any problems, which is not possible when at regular vehicle height.
HLS lift kit Universal
The universal HLS lift kit allows lowered vehicles to negotiate obstacles. The kit is available as a set for the front axle and as a complete set for both axles.
This is an universal lift kit that can be installed to existing KW coilover solutions.
The functions to lift the vehicle are the same as the KW HLS lift kit.
