KW V3 coilover suspension kit
Infinitely adjustable balance between performance and comfort.
Damping independently adjustable for rebound and compression.
As is typical for KW coilovers, our engineers have developed a sporty yet balanced basic setup. To ensure a perfect chassis, we use KW's 7-post test bench and conduct extensive driving tests on roads, motorways, and the Nürburgring Nordschleife. For years, the KW V3 has been one of the top aftermarket products and a benchmark for coilovers. Its damping characteristics, finish, and durability have impressed sports car drivers, tuning professionals, and manufacturers such as Alpina, MTM, Manthey, Oettinger, and many other leading industry players.
Motorsports-derived technology
The KW V3 offers much more than just a sporty lowering and excellent handling. It is based on our extensive experience as a suspension manufacturer and supplier in international motorsports, including series such as ADAC GT Masters, FIA GT1, FIA GT3, International GT Open, WTCC, VLN, and the legendary ADAC Zurich 24h Nürburgring race.
Like the KW Racing series competition suspensions, the KW V3 also features independently adjustable rebound and compression damping. This individual adjustment capability is highly valued by manufacturers, tuners, and drivers worldwide.
Perfect chassis setup for maximum driving pleasure
If you have already made performance-related upgrades to your vehicle, the KW V3 perfectly complements them. The patented KW valve technology allows for separate rebound and compression damping adjustment, enabling the suspension to be fine-tuned completely individually.
The adjustable KW bottom valve controls the low-speed range of compression damping with 12 precise clicks. No separate tools are required, as compression damping adjustment is made using a patented adjuster directly at the bottom of the shock absorber.
This allows for fine-tuning of body roll without needing to change spring stiffness. At the same time, the suspension maintains an optimal balance with rebound damping.
The 16-step adjustment of rebound damping directly impacts the car's handling and comfort. Adjustment is made using an integrated adjustment wheel at the top of the piston rod or with the supplied adjustment tool, depending on the vehicle.
By increasing rebound damping, body movements are reduced, and high-speed stability significantly improves. Handling can also be precisely optimized after installing larger wheel and tire sizes, for example.
High-quality, individual, and durable
Every KW V3 suspension kit and individual shock absorber undergoes comprehensive quality tests during manufacturing to meet high quality standards. This allows us to offer up to a 5-year warranty when installed by an authorized KW dealer.
The KW coilover shock absorbers made of stainless steel are completely corrosion-free and designed for practically lifetime use. The dirt-repellent trapezoidal thread and composite adjustment nut ensure that ride height adjustment works flawlessly even after years.
Thanks to the stepless lowering, you can also emphasize the sporty appearance of your vehicle – a feature that is very popular in performance tuning circles.
