KW Coilover Suspension V3 BMW F13 M6
The KW V3 coilover suspension offers limitless possibilities to combine performance and driving comfort. The damping adjustment is implemented separately for rebound and compression, allowing for precise and individual suspension setup. KW engineers have developed a sporty yet balanced basic setting, which is ensured through extensive tests on the 7-post test bench as well as on roads, highways, and the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife. The KW V3 has for years been a top aftermarket product and a benchmark for coilover suspensions, convincing enthusiasts, tuners, and manufacturers like Alpina, MTM, Manthey, and Oettinger.
Motorsport technology for the road
The KW V3 not only offers impressive lowering and excellent driveability in all conditions – it is based on extensive experience in international motorsport, such as ADAC GT Masters, FIA GT series, and the Nürburgring 24h race. As with the KW Racing series competition suspensions, in the V3 model, compression and rebound damping are independently adjustable, giving the driver complete control over the suspension's function.
The perfect suspension for enhanced driving pleasure
The KW V3 is an excellent choice for vehicles that have undergone performance-enhancing modifications. The patented valve technology allows for individual fine-tuning of the suspension. Compression damping can be adjusted with 12 precise clicks (low-speed range), which affects, for example, body roll without needing to change the spring rate.
Adjustment is possible without special tools thanks to the adjuster located at the bottom of the stainless steel housing. The 16-stage rebound damping adjustment directly affects handling and comfort. Depending on the model, adjustment is done with the adjustment wheel at the top of the piston rod.
By increasing rebound damping, body movements can be reduced and stability improved, especially at high speeds and during cornering. For example, when switching to larger wheel and tire sizes, the KW V3 allows for optimal handling.
High quality and durability
The KW V3 coilover kit and every shock absorber undergo extensive quality tests during production. This allows KW to offer up to a five-year warranty when installed by an authorized dealer. The stainless steel inox-line construction is 100% rust-free and designed for extremely long life.
The continuous height adjustment works reliably even after years of use, thanks to the dirt-repellent trapezoidal thread and composite adjustment ring. The individual lowering gives the car a sporty look – a feature highly valued in tuning circles.
