KW V3 Coilover Suspension 3 Way Adjustable - Audi S3 8V (2013-2020)

KW V3 Coilovers – Advanced Suspension Control for Road and Performance Driving

Take your vehicle's suspension to the next level with KW V3 coilovers, combining continuously adjustable ride height with independently adjustable rebound and compression damping.

Designed for drivers who want significantly greater control over their vehicle's suspension characteristics, the KW V3 builds on the proven V2 platform by adding 12-way low speed compression adjustment alongside its existing 16-way low speed rebound adjustment.

This allows you to separately influence how the suspension behaves during compression and rebound, giving you far greater freedom to tailor the car around your driving style, road conditions, tyres and overall vehicle setup.

Product Notes

• Vehicles equipped with factory electronic damping require a deactivation kit, please select 'Cars With Electronic Dampers' to include this in delivery.

The major upgrade over the KW V2 is the addition of 12-way low speed compression damping adjustment.

Compression damping controls how the damper responds as the suspension is compressed. By adjusting this independently from rebound, you can influence the vehicle's support, body control and handling characteristics without simply changing the rebound setting at the same time.

KW provides 12 clicks of low speed compression adjustment, giving you a useful range of settings for tailoring the suspension to different road conditions and driving requirements.

Combined with the 16-way rebound adjustment, the V3 gives you independent control over both sides of the damper's operating characteristics.

The KW V3 features 16-way adjustable low speed rebound damping, providing precise control over how quickly the suspension extends after being compressed.

Correctly adjusting rebound damping can help control excessive suspension movement and influence the vehicle's stability, steering response and overall handling characteristics.

With 16 individual settings, the V3 allows you to move the suspension towards a more compliant road going setup or a firmer, more controlled performance configuration.

The adjustment can be fine tuned after installation, allowing the suspension to be adapted as your vehicle setup or driving requirements change.

The KW V3 provides stepless ride height adjustment, allowing you to precisely set the vehicle's stance within the approved adjustment range.

This gives you considerably more control than fixed lowering springs, allowing the ride height to be tailored around your preferred appearance, wheel and tyre combination and driving requirements.

KW uses a dirt resistant trapezoidal adjustment thread for precise ride height adjustment, while the composite spring seats are designed to provide reliable operation over the long term.

KW V3 coilovers feature high quality Inox-Line stainless steel damper housings, providing excellent corrosion resistance for long term road use.

The stainless steel construction is combined with KW's composite spring seats and trapezoidal adjustment thread to create a robust coilover system designed to maintain its adjustability and performance over time.

This corrosion resistant construction is particularly beneficial on road going vehicles exposed to rain, road salt and other contaminants throughout the year.

KW develops and tests the V3 around individual vehicle applications rather than relying on a generic suspension specification.

The V3 is tested during development using KW's 7-post vehicle dynamics test rig, helping KW establish the intended suspension characteristics before the product reaches the market.

This development process provides a carefully engineered foundation for the V3's extensive adjustment range, allowing the customer to fine tune the suspension rather than having to compensate for an inherently generic damper setup.

The KW V3 is designed for drivers who want significantly greater control over their suspension than a conventional fixed damping or single adjustable coilover can provide.

Despite its extensive adjustment capability, the V3 is designed as a road focused all-rounder, rather than being restricted to track use. KW specifically positions it around maximum performance on the road, combining a sporty lowered stance with adjustable handling characteristics and everyday usability.

For enthusiasts looking for premium adjustable lowering, independent rebound and compression damping and the ability to precisely tailor their vehicle's handling, KW V3 coilovers offer one of KW's most versatile road going suspension packages.
