KW V3 Coilover Kit
Unlimited individuality for performance & comfort. Damping force adjustment separately for rebound & compression.
As with every KW coilover kit, our suspension engineers develop a sporty and harmonious basic setup for the vehicle-specific applications of the KW V3. In addition to tests on our KW 7-post driving dynamics test stand, we carry out extensive test drives on country roads, highways, and even on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, mile after mile, to guarantee you the perfect suspension tuning. For years, the KW V3, one of the top aftermarket products worldwide, has been the reference for coilover kits. With its damping characteristics, high-quality workmanship, and excellent durability, it convinces demanding sports car drivers, tuners, large and small series manufacturers such as Alpina, MTM, Manthey, Oettinger, and many other renowned companies in the international automotive industry.
Cutting-edge technology from motorsport
With the KW V3, you get much more than a sporty lowering and excellent handling on all roads. It is based on our many years of experience as a suspension manufacturer and supplier in international motorsport, such as in the touring car series ADAC GT Masters, FIA GT1, FIA GT3, International GT Open, WTC, VLN, and also at the legendary ADAC Zurich 24h Race Nürburgring.
Similar to our racing coilovers from the KW Competition program, the rebound and compression of the KW V3 can be adjusted independently. This individual adjustment option is appreciated by refiners, 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 on your sporty road vehicle, it is easy to take these into account in the damper tuning with the KW V3. The patented KW valve technology for the separate adjustment of rebound and compression allows you to individually adapt the vehicle-specific basic setup from KW. For example, the KW bottom valve, adjustable in twelve clicks in the low-speed range of the compression, gives you the leeway to even take into account the tire characteristics of your high- and ultra-high-performance road tires when tuning the suspension.
Thanks to the patented compression adjustment at the lower piston end of the stainless steel housing, you don't even need tools. The adjustable compression adjustment with its twelve precise clicks allows you to influence body roll and pitching movements by hand, without having to change the rebound damping, which is optimally matched to the spring rate.
With the individually adjustable rebound damping of the KW V3, you can directly influence handling and comfort through the precise 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 included plug-on adjustment wheel.
By increasing the tensile force via the adjustment wheel, the body movements are reduced. Your car drives more precisely, and you have even more stability at increased cornering speeds. If, for example, you switch from the approved wheel/tire combinations of your car manufacturer to larger rims, you can perfectly match the driving behavior of your car and your new light alloy wheels with the KW V3.
High quality, individual and durable
Even during production, the KW V3 undergoes extensive quality tests and every single damper is checked. Only in this way can we meet our demand to guarantee up to five years when installing a KW V3 coilover kit by a KW specialist dealer. Thanks to the filigree workmanship and the use of high-quality components, for example, the KW coilover struts made of stainless steel are 100 percent rust-free and have an unlimited service life.
As a result, the functionality of the stepless lowering via the dirt-resistant KW trapezoidal thread and the KW polyamide thread ring is not impaired even after years. Thanks to the individual lowering with its stepless adjustment range, you can also visually emphasize the sportiness of your vehicle. A feature that is very popular in the performance-oriented tuning scene.

Setup: The individually adjustable rebound & compression damping of the KW V3
The KW V3 is the ideal accessory for performance-oriented motorists and tuning enthusiasts who place great demands on sportiness in 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 behavior, directional stability, tire grip, and handling characteristics significantly for safe controllability at the limit.
