KW V3 - Height-Adjustable Coilover Kit.
The KW V3 height-adjustable coilover kit offers separately adjustable rebound and compression damping, allowing the suspension to be precisely tailored to the driver and intended use.
As with all KW coilover kits, the basic setup of the V3 model is designed to be sporty yet balanced. To ensure perfect chassis performance, each model is tested on KW's 7-post test rig and undergoes thorough road tests on main roads, highways, and the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife.
For years, the KW V3 has been one of the most highly regarded coilover kits in the aftermarket and serves as an industry benchmark. Its damping characteristics, refined quality, and long service life have made it a reliable choice for sports car drivers, tuning enthusiasts, and manufacturers such as Alpina, MTM, Manthey, Oettinger, and many other top companies in the international automotive industry.
Perfect Chassis Tuning for an Enhanced Driving Experience
If the vehicle has already undergone performance-enhancing modifications, the KW V3 perfectly complements the overall package.
Thanks to patented KW valve technology, compression and rebound damping can be adjusted separately. The lower adjustment valve allows for compression damping at low piston speeds with 12 precise clicks.
Compression damping can be adjusted without special tools using the patented adjuster located at the bottom of the stainless steel strut. This allows for reducing body roll in corners without needing to change spring stiffness.
Rebound damping is adjusted via a control wheel located at the top of the shock absorber piston rod, or with an adjustment wrench provided, depending on the vehicle model.
Increasing rebound damping reduces body movements and improves driving stability at high speeds. For example, when switching to larger wheel and tire sizes, the KW V3 allows for fine-tuning the car's handling to match the new characteristics.
High Quality, Durable, and Individually Adjustable
Every KW V3 coilover kit and every individual shock absorber undergoes comprehensive quality tests during manufacturing to meet KW's strict quality standards.
This allows KW to offer up to a 5-year warranty when the coilover kit is installed by an authorized KW dealer.
KW struts made from stainless inox-line steel are virtually completely corrosion-resistant and designed for a very long service life.
The dirt-resistant KW trapezoid thread and composite adjustment nut ensure that height adjustment functions reliably even after years of use.
Stepless lowering adjustment allows for perfecting the car's appearance exactly as desired – a feature especially appreciated by performance-oriented enthusiasts.
