KW V3 Racing – Two-way adjustable motorsport technology for track use
The KW V3 Racing suspension offers access to KW's motorsport program with top-tier shock absorber technology. The KW V3 Racing allows for separate adjustment of low-speed compression and rebound damping.
Compared to the KW V3 Clubsport coilover, the KW V3 Racing model does not have TÜV approval or a parts certificate, as the entire suspension is designed exclusively for track and track day use.

The KW V3 Racing is a vehicle-specific motorsport suspension available for various car models in different versions.
Many KW motorsport customers use the KW V3 Racing suspension in various track driving events, such as the Rundstrecken-Challenge Nürburgring e.V. series, as well as track day events.
The entire design of the KW V3 Racing suspension has been developed specifically for the Nürburgring Nordschleife. All parameters, such as axle geometry, ground clearance, damping calibration, spring rates, travel, and wheel loads, have been optimized for the "Green Hell" track.
Depending on the vehicle, the KW V3 Racing is custom-made in Fichtenberg using high-strength aluminum, galvanized steel, or MacPherson strut designs.
Precise adjustment for competitive use
The damping curves of the shock absorbers can be adjusted separately:
- 12 clicks for low-speed compression damping
- 16 clicks for low-speed rebound damping
The wide adjustment range allows for very precise fine-tuning of the suspension. Each click brings a change that allows the suspension to be optimized according to the driver's and track's requirements.
Features
- Unibal/uniball aluminum top mounts (adjustable camber, depending on axle and vehicle)
- High-strength linear motorsport springs
- Adjustable low-speed compression damping
- Adjustable low-speed rebound damping
- Shock absorber body made of high-strength aluminum or galvanized steel
