KW V3 coilover suspension

Unlimited individuality for performance & comfort. Separate damper force adjustment for rebound and compression damping.
As with every KW coilover suspension, our suspension engineers also develop a sporty and harmonious basic set-up for the vehicle-specific applications of the KW V3. In addition to tests on our KW 7-post driving dynamics test bench, we also carry out extensive test drives on country roads, the motorway and even on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, kilometre by kilometre, to guarantee you the perfect suspension set-up. For years, the KW V3, one of the world's top aftermarket products, has been the reference for coilover suspensions. With its damper characteristics, high-quality workmanship and excellent durability, it has impressed discerning sports car drivers, tuners, large and small series manufacturers such as Alpina, MTM, Manthey, Oettinger and many other well-known companies in the international automotive industry.

Cutting-edge technology from motorsport
You get much more than a sporty lowering and excellent handling on all roads with the KW V3. It is based on our many years of experience as a suspension manufacturer and supplier in international motorsport, such as in the ADAC GT Masters touring car series, FIA GT1, FIA GT3, International GT Open, WTC, VLN and also in the legendary ADAC Zurich 24h Race Nürburgring.
Similar to our racing coilovers from the KW Competition programme, the rebound and compression damping of the KW V3 can be adjusted independently of each other. This individual tuning option is appreciated by tuners, sports car manufacturers, tuners and demanding drivers worldwide.

The perfect suspension setup for significantly more driving dynamics
If you have already carried out initial performance modifications to your sporty road vehicle, it is easy to incorporate these into the damper set-up in a targeted manner with the KW V3. The patented KW valve technology for the separate adjustment of the rebound and compression damping allows you to customise the vehicle-specific basic set-up from KW. For example, the KW bottom valve, which can be adjusted in twelve clicks in the low-speed range of the compression stage, gives you the freedom to even take the tyre characteristics of your high and ultra-high performance road tyres into account in the suspension set-up.
Thanks to the patented compression adjustment at the lower piston end of the stainless steel housing, you don't even need any tools. The adjustable compression adjustment with its twelve precise clicks allows you to influence body roll and body roll movements by hand without having to change the rebound damping to match the spring rate.
With the individually adjustable rebound damping of the KW V3, you can directly influence the handling and comfort through the exact click adjustment. Depending on the vehicle type, the rebound valves of the KW twin-tube dampers are adjusted at the upper end of the piston rod via an integrated adjustment wheel or the slip-on adjustment wheel included in the scope of delivery.
By increasing the rebound force via the adjustment wheel, the body movements on the body are reduced. As a result, your car tracks more accurately and you have even more stability at higher cornering speeds. If, for example, you change from the approved wheel/tyre combinations of your car manufacturer to larger rims, you can use the KW V3 to perfectly match the handling of your car and your new alloy wheels.

High-quality, customised and durable
The KW V3 is subjected to extensive quality tests during production and every single damper is checked. This is the only way we can fulfil our claim to provide a warranty of up to five years when a KW coilover suspension V3 is installed by a KW specialist dealer. Due to the filigree workmanship and the use of high-quality components, the KW coilover struts made of stainless steel, for example, are 100 per cent rust-free and have an unlimited service life.
This means that the functionality of the stepless lowering system via the dirt-resistant KW trapezoidal thread and the KW polyamide threaded ring is not impaired even after many years. Thanks to the individual lowering with its stepless adjustment range, you can also emphasise the sportiness of your vehicle visually. A feature that is very popular in the performance-orientated tuning scene.

Setup: The individually adjustable rebound & compression damping of the KW V3
The KW V3 is the ideal accessory for performance-orientated drivers and tuning enthusiasts who demand a high level of sportiness from their vehicles. The dampers, which are separately adjustable in rebound and compression, allow extensive damper tuning with their sophisticated click adjustment. This makes it easy to directly influence the turn-in behaviour, directional stability, tyre grip and handling characteristics for safe controllability at the limit.

Please note the conditions and instructions for this product:
- VA + HA height-adjustable (VA coilover struts, HA springs with height adjustment + damper)
- For vehicles with electronic damper control, this must be deactivated. Vehicle-specific KW decommissioning kits can be found in the accessories table.
- The dampers have easy-to-operate adjustment wheels. Due to the design, the rebound stage can only be adjusted when the piston rod is accessible.
