KW V3 -coilover suspension
Unlimited individuality between performance and comfort.
Damping forces are separately adjustable for rebound and compression.
Our engineers have developed a sporty yet balanced basic setup, as with all KW coilover suspensions. To ensure a perfect chassis, we conduct tests on KW's 7-post test bench 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, quality of finish, and durability impress sports car drivers, tuners, and manufacturers such as Alpina, MTM, Manthey, Oettinger, and many other leading players in the international automotive industry.
Advanced Motorsport Technology
The KW V3 offers much more than just a sporty lowering and excellent handling on all roads. It is based on our extensive 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 24-hour race.
Like the KW Racing series competition suspensions, the KW V3 also allows for independent adjustment of compression and rebound damping. This individual adjustment capability is highly valued by sports 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. Patented KW valve technology enables separate adjustment of compression and rebound damping, allowing for a completely individualized chassis setup. The adjustable KW low-speed valve allows for fine-tuning of the compression damping in the low-speed range with 12 precise clicks.
You don't need separate tools, as the compression damping is adjusted directly via a knob on the bottom of the stainless steel housing. This allows for control of body roll without changing the spring rate.
The separately adjustable rebound damping of the KW V3 directly affects handling and comfort. Adjustment is made, depending on the vehicle, either via an integrated adjustment wheel on the top of the piston rod or with the included adjustment tool.
Increasing rebound damping can reduce body movements and improve stability, especially at high speeds and during cornering. For example, when switching to larger, manufacturer-approved 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 KW's 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 continuous height adjustment works reliably even after years of use, thanks to the dirt-resistant trapezoidal thread and composite adjustment collar. The individual lowering emphasizes the vehicle's sporty appearance – a feature highly popular in the performance-oriented tuning world.
