Why Classic Mercedes Owners Order From Us Worldwide

Six things we handle so you don’t have to.

VAT and Duties Handled

EU and Norway (private customers): VAT is included in the price shown, so your cart price is final with nothing to arrange later. Norway businesses and the rest of the world: you order net, and your carrier looks after any local import VAT or duties, contacting you with convenient payment options before your order is delivered.

Insured Worldwide Shipping

Every order leaves us fully insured and tracked. Where any import duties or taxes apply, your carrier contacts you with convenient payment options before your order is delivered, so you always know exactly who charges what and when.

Official KW Authorized Dealer

Genuine kits built by KW Automotive in Germany for your project. The full 2-year manufacturer warranty applies worldwide.

Classic Mercedes Fitment Expertise

We know which kit suits a 190E 2.5-16, an SLS-equipped S124, or a level-controlled 500E. Tell us what you drive and what you want to achieve, and we will help you pick the right setup.

Critical Install Hardware Included

Every kit ships with the critical install hardware your specific chassis needs to fit the kit safely. Supplemental parts (fresh top mounts, bushings, dust boots, full suspension overhaul kits) can be added at fair prices, from minimal refresh to full overhaul.

VALVE TECHNOLOGY · KW V2 · V3 · V3 RACING

Why KW for a Classic Mercedes?

Your 30-year-old Mercedes was engineered for German Autobahn comfort.
The factory dampers are tired. The original geometry is still excellent.
KW lets you keep what works and fix what doesn’t, without compromise.

KW V2

Street Performance, rebound adjustable

Height-adjustable coilover with 16-step rebound adjustment. Compression damping is factory-tuned for harmonious comfort. Best for owners who want the look and the grip without spending a weekend with a clicker tool.

  • Inox-line stainless steel construction
  • ~40-60mm lowering, individually adjustable
  • German TÜV parts certificate (Teilegutachten) included
  • 2-year manufacturer warranty

KW V3

Street Performance, independent rebound and low-speed compression

The patented multi-valve technology lets you tune rebound and compression independently. Want more comfort on back roads but tighter response in corners? You can have both. The most popular choice for classic Mercedes and our bestseller.

  • 16-step rebound, 12-step compression
  • Up to 65/60mm lowering on most chassis
  • Inox-line stainless steel for unlimited service life
  • TÜV parts certificate included, 2-year warranty

KW V3 Racing

Track Performance, trackday and semi-slick use

For dedicated trackday, semi-slick and historic motorsport use. Higher spring rates, motorsport valving, and the same independent compression and rebound adjustability, engineered for hot laps at the Nürburgring or your local hillclimb. Available for the 190E Evo.

  • Race-grade damping curves
  • Increased spring rates
  • Track day and historic rally use
  • For competition vehicles

V3 in a classic look: the standard V3 ships with KW’s yellow springs; a black classic-style spring finish is available as a build-to-order option for a more discreet, period-correct appearance. Above V3 Racing sits KW Competition, the pure motorsport coilover, available on request and built to your car and use case.

Each kit is available with a German TÜV parts certificate (Teilegutachten) documenting the engineering specs. Acceptance for road use depends on your local vehicle inspection authority, so we recommend confirming requirements before fitting.
Hand-assembled at the KW factory in Fichtenberg, Germany.

Why rpmdepot, Not Just Any KW Reseller

★★★★★ 10,000+ Happy Customers, years of Mercedes classic specialization

Classic Mercedes is what we do.
We are not a generic tuning shop with a Mercedes section. W201, W124, W126, W140: these are our daily reality. We know what fits, what breaks, and what to order alongside the kit so you don’t end up halfway through an install missing a bushing.

Worldwide shipping done right.
Fully insured and tracked, wherever your Mercedes lives. EU and Norwegian private customers pay a final price with VAT included. Everywhere else you order net and your carrier handles any import duties, reaching out with convenient payment options before your order arrives. Straightforward, with a real contact on our side the whole way.

SLS deactivation, free.
S124, W140 and many W201 16V have hydraulic self-leveling out back. We include the deactivation accessories at no extra cost. Long-term we recommend full removal, and we will tell you how.

Critical install parts in the box.
Some KW kits require specific additional parts to handle install. We bundle the critical pieces in instead of letting you discover the problem on a Saturday afternoon with the car on stands.

From minimal refresh to full overhaul.
Add fresh bushings, new top mounts, control arms, anti-roll bar links, or a complete suspension overhaul kit. All at fair pricing, all matched to your chassis. One order, one delivery.

Stock and custom-build options.
Standard V3 in stock for the popular chassis. Want optional black classic-style springs? We build to order at the same lead time most shops quote for stock.

1970s AND 1980s CLASSICS

W201 · W124 · W126 · C126 · R107

The compact sportsman, the all-rounder, the Sonderklasse coupé and the timeless SL.
KW V3 kits for every body style: sedan, coupe, estate, convertible.

1990s AND MODERN CLASSICS

W140 · W202 · W210 · R170 · W463 · A208/C208

From the tank like W140 to the robust W210 and the elegant CLK Coupe/Cabrio.
Many of these chassis use SLS hydraulic rear suspension, and our kits include the deactivation hardware where needed.

FOR WORKSHOPS · RESTORERS · RACE TEAMS

Trade Account: Bulk Orders, Net Invoicing, Direct Sales Contact

Running a Mercedes specialist shop, a restoration business or a race team? We work directly with workshops, restorers and motorsport teams across Europe and beyond on terms that match how trade customers actually operate. Skip the consumer checkout, get a dedicated sales contact, net invoicing where eligible and rates that recognise the volume you bring.

Net invoicing for businesses.
EU businesses with a valid VAT ID are invoiced net under the intra-EU reverse-charge procedure. Businesses outside the EU (for example a Norwegian org.nr) receive a net export invoice, with any import VAT handled at the border and reclaimable on your local return. We provide every customs document your accountant will ask for.

Trade pricing on volume.
Better unit rates on multi-kit orders, recurring service-part purchases and stocking arrangements. Whether you are outfitting a customer’s restoration, supplying a season’s worth of consumables to a race team, or building inventory for the bench, ask us for a quote that reflects the volume.

Bulk and freight shipping options.
From economy palletised freight for stock orders to expedited courier for race-weekend emergencies. Logistics relationships covering both ends of the spectrum, with full tracking and customs paperwork pre-cleared so the box does not sit at the border.

Direct sales contact.
Skip the consumer checkout. Email or call your dedicated contact for fitment confirmations, custom builds, stock checks and lead time priority. Trade orders are handled by someone who actually remembers your build history, not a chatbot.

Send us your business/VAT ID, your shop profile and a sense of what you typically order.

We will set up your trade account and quote your first order on terms that fit.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

How Shipping and Tax Work by Destination

We ship worldwide, fully insured and tracked. The price you see is the price you plan for. Here is how tax works where your Mercedes lives.

European Union & Norway (Individuals)

VAT is included in the price shown. Your cart price is final with nothing to arrange later, across the EU and for private customers in Norway.

International Customers & EU Businesses

Outside the EU, business or private, you order net and your carrier looks after any local import duties or taxes, contacting you with convenient payment options before your order is delivered. EU businesses with a valid VAT ID are invoiced net under the reverse-charge procedure.

Every international order ships fully insured and fully tracked, with a dedicated contact for any question before and after you order.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the total delivered cost?

Our checkout displays prices in EUR. Within the EU, VAT is included in the price shown; for Norway, Norwegian VAT is added at checkout so the cart price is final. If you pay in another currency, your bank applies its exchange rate at the moment of payment. Want an indicative all-in quote before ordering? Contact us and we will price the kit for your destination.

Will I get hit with customs fees at the door?

For EU and Norwegian private customers, no. VAT is already included, so your price is final. For business orders and destinations outside the EU, you order net and your carrier handles any local import VAT or duties, contacting you with convenient payment options before your order is delivered. Those charges are set by your own country, not by us, and we supply every customs document you need.

How long does delivery take?

For in-stock kits: typically 4 to 8 business days within Europe, a little longer for overseas destinations. Custom-built kits (classic black spring variant, motorsport spec, KW Competition) are made to order at the KW factory, with lead times that vary by spec. We confirm a concrete delivery estimate before you commit.

Will my local inspection authority accept the kit?

Each KW kit ships with a German TÜV parts certificate (Teilegutachten) documenting the engineering specs. This is recognised documentation in many European countries, but the final approval for road use sits with your local vehicle inspection authority (for example Statens Vegvesen in Norway). We strongly recommend contacting them with the Teilegutachten before fitting if you intend to use the car on the road.

Can I install the kit myself?

If you are comfortable with spring compression and a torque wrench, yes. If not: most classic Mercedes installs are 4 to 8 hours of garage work. We strongly recommend a four-wheel alignment afterwards.

My car has SLS / hydraulic self-levelling. Can I still fit a KW kit?

Yes. We include the SLS deactivation hardware free of charge with kits for SLS-equipped chassis (S124, W140, certain W201). The hydraulic system stays in place but is bypassed. Long-term we recommend full removal, and we are happy to advise on that path.

Do you ship just dampers, or only complete kits?

Both. For some chassis (W201, W124) we offer the KW V3 dampers as a stand-alone set. The use case: your car is on period-correct aftermarket lowering springs (e.g. era H&R or Eibach) and you want modern adjustable damping without changing the spring setup. This matters for cars where you want to satisfy historical or vintage registration criteria that require period-correct components, since the modern KW coilover springs would not fit that profile but the dampers can. Note this works with aftermarket period springs, not factory springs. Complete coilover kits are available for all listed chassis. If unsure which is right for your project, ask us.

Can you ship KW coilovers to my country?

Yes. We ship KW kits worldwide, fully insured and tracked. Within the EU and for private customers in Norway the price includes VAT and is final. For business orders or destinations outside the EU you order net, and your carrier handles any local import duties, contacting you with convenient payment options before your order is delivered. Tell us your country and we will confirm delivery time before you order.

My Mercedes model is not listed here. Can you still supply a KW kit?

Very likely yes. As an official KW dealer we can source kits for classic and modern Mercedes beyond the models shown on this page, from the W123 and R107 through to later chassis. Tell us your model, engine and what you want to achieve, and we will confirm the right KW kit and price it for your country.

How do I become a dealer or open a trade account?

Register on our My Account page and choose the dealer option from the account-type dropdown when you sign up. Once we confirm your details you get trade pricing, net invoicing where eligible and a dedicated sales contact. Prefer to talk first? Contact us and we will set you up.
