KW V3 Coilovers


Performance, high level of sportiness and comfort with racing technology for the road. Separately adjustable compression and rebound stage damping.

Cutting-edge motorsports technology for more performance on the road. Like every suspension product developed by KW automotive, the suspension manufacturer, and manufactured in Germany, the KW V3 Coilover suspension kit also provides a significant plus in safety reserves in road traffic.

Thanks to the chassis with its high-quality dampers, springs, and elastomer spring elements, pitching and rolling movements during load changes such as evasive maneuvers, cornering, acceleration, and braking are significantly reduced. The braking distances are also shortened. Thanks to improved support and feedback, drivers not only feel safer but driving in everyday life becomes even safer.

KW V3 Coilovers Features:

  • Customized suspenison lowering
  • Rebound adjustable
  • Bump Compression (low)
  • Composite spring seat
  • Trapezoidal thread
  • Inox-Line
  • Remote Reservoir
  • 7-post drive dynamics test stand
  • Technical component report
  • TVR-A Rebound stage
  • TVC-A Compression stage

With compression and rebound stage damping, that can be set separately and independently of each other, the damper setup can be customized to your personal driving preferences or vehicle changes such as weight, tire characteristics, or altered vehicle rigidity.

True performance optimization is only possible with this unique, patented system. For example, this allows the compression damping force to be increased and get more grip from the tires, to improve cornering behavior and reduce squat without simultaneously altering the rebound stage damping which is optimally matched to the spring rate ‚ a scenario which results in reduced grip and the associated loss of performance.


Setup ‚ factory-set pre-configured damper setup with separately adjustable compression and rebound stage damping


The KW V3 coilover kit is the ideal tool for performance-oriented drivers and experienced tuning enthusiasts who place a strong emphasis on the overall performance of their suspension.

The Variant 3 features patented TVR-A and TVC-A technology that provides separately adjustable rebound and compression damping.

The extensive adjustment range of the independently configurable rebound and compression make it easy to directly influence the steering behavior, directional stability, grip and handling characteristics for confident and repeatable results at the limit of driving dynamics.

TVR-A rebound stage damping (Twin Valve Rebound ‚ Adjustable):
The two-step, patented ‚Å“TVR-A‚� technology enables the small volume to flow through an adjustable, conical low-speed bypass in the case of slow damper speeds, while in the case of higher piston speeds, the main rebound stage valve opens for the large volume flows.

This provides a big improvement in terms of ride comfort without influencing the high-speed in the safety-relevant range. There are 16 precise clicks available for individual settings, so you can choose between more comfort or more body control.

TVC-A compression stage damping (Twin Valve Compression ‚ Adjustable):

With 12 precise clicks the adjustable compression stage valve (‚Å“TVC-A‚�-technology) can increase or decrease the cross section in the low-speed valve to achieve either more or less compression stage damping.

At the same time, in the case of sudden high piston speeds, the spring pre-tensioned needle valve and the spring pre-tensioned main valve open to their maximum valve cross section, to avoid with its blow-off characteristics undesired progressive force increase in the high-speed range. This allows a better bracing of the vehicle body and at the same time at high wheel acceleration offering more comfort than with conventional valve technology. The compression stage damper setting is always supplied in combination with a separate rebound stage setting, as only an independent 2-way damper setting allows a true performance optimization.

Continuously lowering

With KW V3 coilovers you can achieve maximum lowering within an approved lowering range that ensures a proper functioning suspension with adequate travel after your car is lowered.

Even after years of use you can easily adjust the ride height thanks to the dirt resistant trapezoid thread and composite adjustment collar.

The benchmark for coilovers

  • Vehicle-specific based damper tuning
  • Assembly of rebound valves in house
  • Struts made of stainless steel

As with all KW coilovers, the engineers at KW develop in extensive test cycles on the Nürburgring Nordschleife and in our test center on the KW 7-post rig the vehicle-specific KW damper setup estimated by car enthusiasts worldwide. So you will experience your car even more directly and dynamically with a KW coilover kit.

You are not buying a mass produced, generic coilover kit, a KW coilover has been developed specifically for your particular vehicle. As a manufacturer, KW uses only its own resources, high quality components and the damper technology that has all developed in-house. With the KW V3 coilovers, rolling motion of the body will be reduced during compression giving you the benefit of more direct handling and confidence while driving.


Our experiences for your driving pleasure

  • Vehicle-specific chassis development
  • Production directly in-house at KW in Fichtenberg
  • EVERY KW coilover kit is subjected to extensive load tests
