KW V3 Coilover Kit
Unlimited individuality for performance and driving comfort
The damping forces can be adjusted independently for rebound and compression damping.
As with all KW coilover suspensions, KW engineers have developed a sporty yet balanced basic setup for the V3 coilover suspension. To ensure the perfect suspension setup, the suspensions are tested on KW's 7-post test rig and during extensive test drives on country roads, motorways, and even the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
For years, the KW V3 coilover has been one of the leading aftermarket suspension products and a benchmark for coilover suspensions. Its advanced damping technology, high-quality finish, and long lifespan impress sports car drivers, tuning enthusiasts, and small and large series manufacturers such as Alpina, MTM, Manthey, and Oettinger, as well as many other leading players in the international automotive industry.
Advanced motorsport technology
The KW V3 coilover offers much more than just a sporty lowering and excellent handling on all roads. Its design benefits from KW's decades of experience as a suspension manufacturer and a subcontractor and supplier to international motorsport. KW's expertise has been utilized in series such as ADAC GT Masters, FIA GT1, FIA GT3, International GT Open, WTC, and VLN, as well as the legendary ADAC Zurich 24h race at the Nürburgring.
Similar to the race suspensions in the KW Racing program, the KW V3 also allows independent adjustment of compression and rebound damping. This individual adjustment capability is a highly valued feature among sports car manufacturers, tuning builders, and drivers worldwide.
Perfect chassis tuning for even more enjoyable driving
If you have already made initial performance-related modifications to your vehicle, the KW V3 coilover completes the overall package. The patented KW valve technology allows separate adjustment of rebound and compression damping, so the suspension's function can be fine-tuned individually to suit your specific application.
The adjustable KW bottom valve allows for the low-speed range of compression damping to be adjusted with 12 precise clicks.
No separate adjustment tools are needed, as the patented compression damping adjuster is located at the bottom of the stainless steel housing. With twelve precisely defined adjustment positions, the compression damping can be manually adjusted, affecting body roll without changing the spring rate, which is optimized to work in conjunction with rebound damping.
The individually adjustable KW V3 rebound damping, in turn, directly influences the car's handling and driving comfort. The precise click adjustment allows for fine-tuning the suspension according to the respective application.
Depending on the vehicle model, the rebound damping of KW twin-tube shock absorbers is adjusted either by an integrated adjustment wheel located at the top of the piston rod or by a rotary adjuster included in the delivery.
Increasing the rebound damping force reduces body movements and improves the car's stability at high speeds and when cornering. If, for example, you switch to a larger wheel and tire combination approved by the car manufacturer, the KW V3 allows the suspension's function and the car's handling to be optimally adjusted to the new configuration.
High quality, individual adjustment, and long lifespan
The KW V3 suspension kit and each individual shock absorber undergo comprehensive quality tests during production in accordance with KW's high quality standards. This allows KW to offer a warranty of up to five years when the suspension kit is installed by an authorized KW specialist dealer.
The KW coilover struts made of stainless steel are 100% rust-free and have a virtually unlimited lifespan.
Thanks to KW's dirt-resistant trapezoidal thread and KW composite adjustment collar, the continuously adjustable lowering remains functional even after years of use. The stepless lowering adjustment range allows for individual enhancement of the vehicle's appearance and sportiness – a feature highly popular in the performance-oriented tuning scene.

Adjustment: KW V3 coilover's individually adjustable rebound and compression damping
The KW V3 coilover kit is designed for performance-oriented drivers and tuning enthusiasts who demand high standards from their suspension.
Separately adjustable rebound and compression damping, as well as precise and logically functioning click adjustments, allow for precise fine-tuning of the suspension. This makes it easy to influence steering feel, directional stability, tire grip, and the car's handling when driving at the limits of performance.
