Wow great article here on the FXMD NSX.The KW's also have low speed rebound damping adjustment. The multitude of damping adjustments allows the shocks to perform a function of platform control vs simply attenuating spring rebound energy. The most critical elements of damping control come at low suspension movement velocities where the shock shaft is moving at only 2 inches per second and below. This is the range where most body motion that is detrimental to a cars handling occurs, like body roll, pitch and dive. Damping at low shaft speeds is very difficult for most shocks as fluid flow is very low so metering is difficult. This is no problem with KW's sensitive precision valving.The high and low speed compression damping adjustment is the gold and purple screws on the body of the remote reservoir shown here. The low speed rebound adjustment is on top on the shock shaft.An interesting property about KW's motorsport dampers is their frequency sensitivity. This allows firm control of body motion while still allowing supple response to high frequency bumps that can cause loss of traction. The ability to give the dichotomy of firm control with a plush ride makes KW's a big advantage and have really helped the NSX become a precise handling machine.The gas reaction force of the KW damper can be adjusted with high pressure dry nitrogen through the shraider valve on the end of the remote reservoir.
