KW V3 -coilover suspension
Unlimited individuality for performance and comfort.
Damping forces are separately adjustable for rebound and compression.
Our engineers have developed a sporty yet balanced basic setup, as in all KW coilover suspensions. To ensure the perfect chassis, we perform tests on KW's 7-post test rig and extensive driving tests on country roads, highways, and even the Nürburgring Nordschleife. The KW V3 has been one of the top aftermarket products and a benchmark for coilover suspensions for years. Its damping characteristics, finish quality, and durability impress sports car drivers, tuners, and manufacturers such as Alpina, MTM, Manthey, and Oettinger, as well as many other leading industry players.
Advanced technology from motorsport
The KW V3 offers much more than just a sporty lowering and excellent handling on all roads. It is based on our long experience as a chassis manufacturer and supplier in international motorsport, including ADAC GT Masters, FIA GT1, FIA GT3, International GT Open, WTCC, VLN, and the legendary Nürburgring 24h race.
As with the KW Racing series competition suspensions, the KW V3's compression and rebound damping are independently adjustable. This individual adjustment capability is valued by car manufacturers, tuners, and drivers worldwide.
The perfect chassis for enhanced driving pleasure
If your vehicle has already undergone performance-enhancing modifications, the KW V3 complements them perfectly. The patented KW valve technology allows for separate adjustment of compression and rebound damping. The adjustable low-speed valve allows for fine-tuning of the compression damping in 12 precise clicks.
No special tools are required, as the compression damping is adjusted directly from the bottom of the stainless steel housing. This adjustment affects, for example, body roll without needing to change the spring rate.
The individually adjustable rebound damping of the KW V3 directly affects handling and comfort. Adjustment is made, depending on the vehicle, with an integrated adjustment wheel at the top of the piston rod or with the supplied adjustment tool.
Increasing rebound damping can reduce body movements and improve driving stability, especially at high speeds and when cornering. For example, when switching to larger wheel and tire sizes, the KW V3 allows for precise optimization of handling.
High quality, individual, and durable
The KW V3 coilover kit and every shock absorber undergo extensive quality tests during production to meet high quality standards. This allows KW to offer a warranty of up to five years when installed by an authorized dealer. The stainless steel inox-line construction is 100% rust-free and extremely durable.
The stepless height adjustment works reliably even after years of use, thanks to the dirt-resistant trapezoidal thread and composite adjustment ring. Individual lowering emphasizes the vehicle's sporty appearance – a feature highly popular in the performance-focused tuning world.

Adjustments
The KW V3 is the perfect choice for performance-oriented drivers and tuning enthusiasts who demand more from their suspension. Separate compression and rebound damping adjustments, along with precise click adjustments, allow for optimal fine-tuning of the chassis. This affects steering feel, driving stability, tire grip, and handling, especially when driving at the limit.
