KW V3 - Coilover Suspension
Unlimited individuality for combining performance and driving comfort.
Damping forces are separately adjustable for rebound and compression.
Our engineers have developed a sporty yet harmonious basic setup, as with all KW coilover suspensions. To ensure the perfect chassis, we conduct tests on KW's 7-post test rig and extensive driving tests on country roads, motorways, and even the Nürburgring Nordschleife. For years, the KW V3 has been one of the top aftermarket products and the benchmark for coilover suspensions. Its damping characteristics, quality of finish, and durability impress sports car drivers, tuners, and manufacturers like Alpina, MTM, Manthey, Oettinger, and many other leading players in the international automotive industry.
Advanced Motorsport Technology
The KW V3 offers more than just a sporty lowering and excellent handling in all conditions. It is based on our long experience as a suspension 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.
Just like in the KW Racing series coilover suspensions, the compression and rebound damping in the KW V3 are independently adjustable. This individual adjustment capability is highly valued by car manufacturers, tuners, and drivers worldwide.
The Perfect Suspension 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, enabling the suspension to be individually tuned. The adjustable KW bottom valve allows for fine-tuning of the low-speed compression damping with 12 precise clicks.
No separate tools are needed, as the compression damping adjustment is made directly via a dial on the lower part of the stainless steel housing. This allows for control of body roll without altering the spring rate.
The individually adjustable rebound damping of the KW V3 directly affects handling and comfort. Adjustment is made, depending on the vehicle, either via an integrated dial on the upper part of the piston rod or with the supplied adjustment tool.
By increasing rebound damping, body movements can be reduced, and driving stability improved, 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 each shock absorber undergo extensive quality tests during production to meet KW's high quality standards. As a result, KW can offer up to a five-year warranty when installed by an authorized dealer. The stainless steel inox-line construction is completely 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. The individual lowering emphasizes the vehicle's sporty appearance – a feature that is highly popular in the performance-focused tuning world.
