KW V3 Coilover Kit

Unlimited individuality for combining performance and comfort

The damping forces can be adjusted separately for rebound and compression damping.

As with all KW coilover kits, our engineers have developed a sporty yet balanced basic setup for the KW V3. To ensure the perfect chassis setup, the system is tested on KW's 7-post test rig as well as in extensive road tests on country roads, highways, and the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

For years, the KW V3 has been one of the most highly regarded coilover kits on the aftermarket and serves as an industry benchmark. Its damping characteristics, quality of finish, and durability impress sports car drivers, tuners, and renowned manufacturers such as Alpina, MTM, Manthey, and Oettinger alike.

Advanced Motorsport Technology

The KW V3 offers much more than just a sporty lowering and excellent handling on all road surfaces.

The chassis is based on KW's extensive experience as a chassis manufacturer and supplier to international motorsport in series such as:

  • ADAC GT Masters
  • FIA GT1
  • FIA GT3
  • International GT Open
  • WTCC
  • VLN
  • ADAC Zurich 24h Nürburgring

Just like in the KW Racing series competition chassis, the KW V3 also allows compression and rebound damping to be adjusted completely independently. This individual adjustment capability is a highly valued feature among sports car manufacturers, tuning companies, and drivers worldwide.

The Perfect Chassis for More Driving Pleasure

If performance enhancements have already been made to the car, the KW V3 perfectly complements them.

The patented KW valve technology allows for separate adjustment of rebound and compression damping, enabling the chassis to be precisely customized.

The adjustable KW bottom valve allows for 12-click adjustment of low-speed compression damping.

No separate tools are needed, as the patented adjustment mechanism is located at the lower end of the stainless steel housing. The 12-stage compression damping adjustment allows for fine-tuning of body roll without changing spring stiffness, thereby maintaining optimal rebound damping.

The precise adjustment of rebound damping in the KW V3 enables fine-tuning of handling and comfort. Depending on the vehicle type, rebound adjustment is done either with an integrated adjustment wheel or with the supplied adjustment tool.

Increasing rebound damping reduces body movements and improves high-speed stability and cornering. For example, when switching to larger wheels and tires, the KW V3 allows for perfect optimization of the car's handling to match the new tire setup.

High Quality, Individual, and Durable

Every KW V3 kit and individual shock absorber undergoes extensive quality testing during production to meet KW's high quality standards.

This allows KW to offer up to a five-year warranty when installation is performed by an authorized KW dealer.

The stainless steel KW coilover struts are 100% rust-free and designed for extremely long life.

The dirt-protected KW trapezoidal thread and composite adjustment ring ensure that height adjustment works smoothly even after years.

Infinitely variable lowering allows the car's sporty appearance to be emphasized exactly as desired – a feature that is very popular in performance-oriented tuning culture.
