KW V4 Clubsport Coilover Suspension 3 Way Adjustable - Audi RS3 8Y (2021-)

KW V4 Clubsport Coilovers – Advanced Road & Track Suspension

Take your vehicle's suspension to the next level with KW V4 Clubsport coilovers, combining advanced three-way damping adjustment, continuously adjustable ride height and Clubsport specific suspension hardware for serious road and track performance.

Building on the proven KW V3 Clubsport platform, the V4 Clubsport adds a significantly greater level of damper control by providing independent low speed rebound, low speed compression and high speed compression adjustment.

With 16 clicks of rebound adjustment, 6 clicks of low speed compression and 14 clicks of high speed compression, the V4 Clubsport gives you the ability to precisely tailor the suspension around your tyres, alignment, track conditions, driving style and vehicle setup.

Despite its strong motorsport influence, the V4 Clubsport remains designed for road-legal vehicles, making it particularly suited to enthusiasts building a road car that regularly sees track use.

Product Notes

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

The V4 Clubsport uses external vehicle mounted reservoirs, housing the separate compression adjustment controls.

The low speed compression adjustment is made using the dedicated purple adjustment knob, while the larger gold control adjusts the high speed compression damping. This provides straightforward access to the damping controls after the suspension has been installed.

The external reservoir design is an important part of the V4 Clubsport's three-way damping technology, allowing the additional high and low speed compression circuits to be incorporated into the damper system.

Depending on the vehicle application, the V4 Clubsport can be supplied with aluminium Unibal top mounts.

Where supported, these provide scalable camber adjustment, allowing the front suspension geometry to be optimised for increased tyre contact during cornering.

Selected applications also offer caster adjustment, providing additional scope for tuning the front end geometry and steering characteristics.

The major upgrade over the V3 Clubsport is the addition of 14-way high speed compression adjustment, on top of the low speed compression adjustment.

High speed compression damping controls the damper's response during faster suspension movements, such as sharp bumps, kerbs and rapid changes in road or track surface.

Being able to adjust high speed compression independently from low speed compression gives you considerably more scope to tune the suspension for different circuits and road conditions.

KW provides 14 clicks of high speed compression adjustment, operated through the external reservoir. The compression damping is preconfigured by KW before delivery, providing an engineered baseline from which the driver can fine-tune the setup.

The KW V4 Clubsport features 16-way adjustable low speed rebound damping, allowing you to control how quickly the suspension extends after being compressed.

KW's TVR-A (Twin Valve Rebound-Adjustable) technology allows rebound to be adjusted independently from the compression damping. The 16-click adjustment range provides the ability to move between a more compliant setup and a more controlled, performance focused configuration.

KW supplies the V4 Clubsport with a carefully developed rebound setting, providing a proven baseline before allowing the driver to fine-tune the suspension to suit their requirements.

The KW V4 Clubsport provides stepless ride height adjustment, allowing the vehicle's stance and suspension geometry to be fine tuned within the vehicle specific approved range.

KW's dirt resistant trapezoidal adjustment thread provides precise height adjustment, while the composite spring seats are designed for long-term durability.

The height adjustable design allows the suspension to be configured around the vehicle's wheel and tyre package, alignment settings, driving requirements and preferred ride height.

The V4 Clubsport features KW Inox-Line stainless steel damper housings, providing excellent corrosion resistance for long term road use.

KW's stainless steel construction is combined with polyamide composite spring seats and stainless steel inserts, helping maintain reliable height adjustment while avoiding the oxidation issues associated with conventional anodised aluminium spring components.

This makes the V4 Clubsport suitable for vehicles that are driven on the road as well as used on track.

The V4 Clubsport is developed around individual vehicle applications and extensively tested by KW during development.

KW uses its 7-post vehicle dynamics test rig to analyse suspension behaviour and refine the setup, helping establish the appropriate baseline characteristics for each application.

The V4 Clubsport is then supplied with preconfigured damping settings, giving the customer a properly engineered starting point before making their own adjustments.

Key Features

• 16-way low speed rebound adjustment
• 6-way low speed compression adjustment
• 14-way high speed compression adjustment
• Adjustable Unibal top mounts where supported
• Steplessly height adjustable
• Vehicle specific fixed damping setup
• Motorsport-derived Clubsport technology
• Lower centre of gravity
• High quality KW Inox-Line stainless steel construction
• Durable, corrosion resistant design
• Dirt resistant trapezoidal adjustment thread
• Composite spring seats
• Technical component certificate supplied where applicable
• Designed for road and track-day use

The KW V4 Clubsport is designed for enthusiasts who want a serious road and track suspension system with extensive independent damping adjustment.

The result is a true three-way adjustable damper system:

• Rebound controls how quickly the suspension extends.
• Low-speed compression influences slower suspension movements and chassis support.
• High-speed compression allows the damper response to faster suspension movements to be tuned independently.

This gives the V4 Clubsport substantially more scope for fine tuning than the V3 Clubsport, particularly when optimising the car around different tyres, circuits, alignment settings and track conditions.

For drivers looking for three way adjustable damping, external reservoirs, adjustable suspension geometry and serious Clubsport performance, the KW V4 Clubsport represents a major step beyond conventional road coilovers and provides the level of control expected from a high-end road-and-track suspension system.
