KW V3 - Height-adjustable suspension

Unlimited individuality to combine performance and comfort

Damping forces are separately adjustable for rebound and compression.

As with all KW coilover kits, our engineers have developed a sporty yet balanced basic setup. To ensure a perfect chassis setup, we test the products on KW's 7-post test bench and through extensive test drives on roads, highways, and even the Nürburgring Nordschleife. For years, KW V3 has been one of the top aftermarket products and a benchmark for coilover suspensions.

Its damping characteristics, quality of finish, and durability impress sports car enthusiasts, tuners, and small and large manufacturers alike, including Alpina, MTM, Manthey, Oettinger, and many other leading companies in the international automotive industry.

Advanced Motorsport Technology

The KW V3 coilover offers much more than just a sporty lowering and excellent drivability on all roads. It is based on our years of experience as a suspension manufacturer and supplier to international motorsports in series such as ADAC GT Masters, FIA GT1, FIA GT3, International GT Open, WTCC, VLN, and the legendary ADAC Zurich 24h Nürburgring race.

Similar to the KW Racing series competition suspensions, with the KW V3, compression and rebound damping can be adjusted independently. This individual adjustment capability is valued by sports car manufacturers, tuners, and drivers worldwide.

Perfect Chassis Setup for Enhanced Driving Pleasure

If your vehicle has already undergone performance upgrades, the KW V3 perfectly complements them. The patented KW valve technology allows separate adjustment of compression and rebound damping, enabling a completely individualized chassis setup.

The adjustable KW bottom valve allows low-speed compression damping to be adjusted with 12 clicks.

No separate tools are needed, as the patented compression damping adjustment mechanism is located at the bottom of the stainless steel housing. The 12-way adjustment allows fine-tuning of body roll without changing spring stiffness, maintaining optimal rebound damping.

The individually adjustable rebound damping of the KW V3 allows for precise fine-tuning of handling and comfort. Depending on the vehicle type, the rebound valves are adjusted either via an integrated adjustment wheel at the top of the shock absorber piston rod or with the supplied adjustment tool.

Increasing rebound damping reduces body movements, improving stability at high speeds and during cornering. For example, if you switch to larger wheels and tires (approved by the car manufacturer), the KW V3 allows the car's behavior to be perfectly adjusted to match them.

High-Quality, Individual, and Durable

The KW V3 series and every individual shock absorber undergo extensive quality tests during manufacturing to meet KW's high-quality standards. This allows us to offer a warranty of up to five years when installation is performed by an authorized KW dealer.

The stainless steel KW coilover struts are 100% rust-free and extremely durable.

The dirt-protected KW trapezoidal thread and composite adjustment ring ensure that height adjustment functions perfectly even after years. Thanks to the continuous lowering, the car's sporty appearance can be accentuated exactly as desired – a feature highly popular in performance-oriented tuning culture.

Adjustment options: KW V3's separately adjustable rebound and compression damping

The KW V3 coilover kit is the perfect choice for performance-oriented drivers and tuning enthusiasts who demand a lot from their suspension. Separately adjustable rebound and compression dampers, along with precisely designed click adjustment, enable a perfect chassis setup.

This allows easy influence on the car's steering feel, directional stability, tire grip, and handling in extreme situations.
