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

KW V3 Leveling Coilovers – Advanced Damping Without Maximum Lowering

Experience the advanced suspension technology of the KW V3 without sacrificing the practicality of your vehicle's original ground clearance.

The KW V3 Leveling combines stepless ride height adjustment with independently adjustable rebound and compression damping, but unlike the standard KW V3, it is specifically developed for drivers who do not want maximum lowering.

Instead, KW has engineered the V3 Leveling around everyday usability, comfort, stability and dynamic driving performance, making it particularly well suited to performance vehicles that are used regularly on real world roads.

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 Leveling gives you independent control over both sides of the damper's operating characteristics.

The KW V3 Leveling 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 Leveling 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 defining difference between the KW V3 Leveling and standard KW V3 is the intended ride height range.

Where the standard V3 is designed to provide substantial adjustable lowering, the V3 Leveling is designed for drivers who want to retain practical ground clearance rather than chase the lowest possible stance.

KW specifically describes the system as being intended for those who are not looking for maximum lowering, with standard ground clearance prioritised for everyday use.

This makes the V3 Leveling particularly useful for vehicles where excessive lowering could compromise usability, including cars that regularly encounter steep driveways, ramps, speed bumps or poor quality roads.

KW V3 Leveling 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.

The V3 Leveling is developed around the requirements of individual vehicle applications rather than relying on a generic suspension specification.

KW tests its suspension systems using its 7-post vehicle dynamics test rig, helping establish the characteristics required for each application before the product reaches the market.

The result is a properly engineered foundation for the V3 Leveling's adjustable rebound and compression damping, allowing the driver to fine tune the suspension around their own requirements.
