Damper tech from KW here. Really appreciate the love y'all have for our products! We really do take pride in what we do whether it's rebuilding your old kits, or building new ones! Thought I'd mention that we also do custom applications for anything that we don't offer with our street kits. Each custom kit is bespoke to every single customer, so while it's a bit more expensive to have it's pretty cool to say you have a 1 of 1 KW damper set up :)
Yo that's sick cus I had been looking at KW for my 2017 Fusion Sport. Glad to know there's a possibility for a custom application here 👍 will be in touch real soon.
@@Modestleisure depends on you/ your usage.. got KW CS 3-Way and KW sway-bars for my BMW F21, which can be a little harsh for daily driving, yet i absolutely love how the car handles..
Can you recommend a way I can refresh the suspension on my 06 RSX Type S? Want to get that squish back a little. I have some bad bushings, but would replacing those be enough?
Hi, I have a 2010 MK6 GTI and bought the KW V3 coilovers, they were awesome for several years… when one of the shocks failed I took them off and boxed them back up and put the stock suspension back on - the car is fully modded APR and has just been sitting in storage, I’d like to get it out of mothballs and get my KW’s rebuilt and back on the car- they’re supposed to have a lifetime warranty - can they go to any KW facility? I bought them when I lived in Vegas, now I’m in Ohio… any advice?
I've got the V2's on my e46, had them a lil over a year now, winter driven, they're holding up good, they're a little firm on bumpy roads, but with the dampers or whatever adjusted to a couple clicks above minimum setting they ride nice. If I could afford to, I'd buy the V3 or V4's but in all honesty, you don't NEED all that adjustment for the road. the V2's are more than enough for street cruising / spirited drives. One thing to mention, they DO NOT include camber plates. I didn't know this when purchasing so was a lil disappointed in that. I'd totally recommend this suspension to anybody looking to replace / upgrade their current setup.
V4 and clubsport do come with camber plate and sway bar link, making the extra price kinda worth it. And it is alway better to have a bit more option that you don’t need than lacking it and one day you find out that you do need it.
Any idea what camber plates work with V2’s for e46’s? Plan on getting a set rebuilt in the coming months and I’d like to have everything installed when I’m ready.
the kit will work fine on its own. you don't 'need' camber plates, unless it's something you want to adjust, then you'll prob have to buy them separate. @@irfanali-kr9be
I have the KW V3's paired with swift springs and Raceseng camber plates, they've held up to 20K miles of abuse on my BRZ track car and only now need a rebuild. They look new because they are sheathed from dirt and no leaks. They are excellent.
I went from KW V2's to ST XTA on my 1989 Golf mk2 with a 1.8T Engine Swap (350hp) They basically feel the same, but I can adjust the ST XTA more than the KW V2 and the ST feels a little better in corners. KW is more comfortable, but also more expensive than KW (In Germany) I can also get ST Suspensions in my custom color which is great for showcars
@@coolturista8714 No, the ST XA is still really comfortable. You can also adjust the stiffness a little bit, I made mine a little bit stiffer because it was too soft for me.
Would the v1 be a good replacement for my 2016 fiesta st? Its got lowering springs and stock struts, i dont track drive, but its my daily and im delivery driver. So just wondering if this would be a good idea to upgrade to coilovers
Was close to running these KW high end Clubsport but since i didnt want super low height much, went With Bilstein B16 instead which was on sale for only 2,000
This is awesome, I am seeing this just when my V3's have arrived for my BMW F10 535i Xdrive. I'm so excited to have them installed. BTW, I only found the top control for the rebound , where would the compression adjustment be located?
Looking into these but cannot decide. I have a 2018 macan s with exhaust and stage 1+ tune. Makes good power. Great canyon cruiser and want to get into some track days. Not really racing per se, but want to be able to have fun on the track while also having that comfortable Porsche ride. Are the V2s that much better than the V1s? Total noob here. Thanks for the help
Depends what your wanting and type of car applying it too. Ex HKS hypermax II on is300 tuned it for the way I drive. Killer handling and nice ride on streets as well
Great review 100% question iam not gonna slam the car to the ground. Either leave from factory set from kw the v3,s do I need camber plates for my b7 rs4 ? Thank U kindly in advance for help.
I’m considering KW for my BMW E63 650i. I appreciate a sporty ride but not a stiff one. It’s a GT and not a sports car. I want the best ride, minimum body roll, right steering feel but not shaky and evening out the imperfections in the road. So relatively comfortable also. Which variant would be the best for me, what’s the best technique regardless of the difference in price?
If you just want to adjust height and not damping, V1s are good! But if you want to mess around with the soft or stiffen up, V2s will be your best bet. Hope this helps! -Edgar
@@FitmentIndustries oh brother I did not meant to shine a bad light on you guys. I placed the order directly with KW. I'm just a bit frustrated I was told 3 to 4 week for delivery and I got nothing after 5 weeks.
KW has both progressive springs that carry different spring rates through their travel and linear springs which carry the same rate throughout. You’ll find linear springs on more of the competition geared setups
I got a ‘19 GT86 (TRD) .. was wondering if anyone thought if the KW V3s would be a significant upgrade to my car which came stock with upgraded suspension (Sachs dampers) … handles like a f’n champ right now, can be uncomfortable sometimes though… but takes corners like a beast. I’m on Michelin Pilot Sport 4s btw. Still NA. If anyone savy enough knows, please let me know asap. Thanks y’all💯
I dont know if you've already done suspension as its been almost a year since your comment. Id go for racecomp engineering, they are designed with kw and a little more budget friendly. Just did a set on my friends car and doing mine next weekend
fortune auto gives you much more customizable options as where KW is more of a "here this is what we give you, its great set it and forget it" fortune auto will build exactly what you ask for
@@alexstromberg7696 ehhh öhlin is still a league above. Those KW are a weird middle ground where I’d say save the money and get fortune auto, but if you want something nicer then save up for öhlins. Ignore KW in the middle. Just my opinion in sitting in several cars with different coils.

Just had kw DDC's installed on my F80 M3 and I absolutely love them. Soft ride, direct steering, and planted accelerations
I have the KW V3's paired with swift springs and Raceseng camber plates, they've held up to 20K miles of abuse on my BRZ track car and only now need a rebuild. They look new because they are sheathed from dirt and no leaks. They are excellent.
Also from someone who met Mr KW. He’s wholesome AF. What a legend.
I got V1s in my nb miata and they are worth every penny. Both comfortable and competitive.
I have KW4's on my Challenger Redeye and it was driving two completely different cars! Absolutely amazing ride!
had V3's put on my wagon and it sits nice and the ride is RIGHT
Ive riden in an sti with v3s and with the right tuning the ride feels great
I went from KW V2's to ST XTA on my 1989 Golf mk2 with a 1.8T Engine Swap (350hp)
They basically feel the same, but I can adjust the ST XTA more than the KW V2 and the ST feels a little better in corners.
KW is more comfortable, but also more expensive than KW (In Germany)
I can also get ST Suspensions in my custom color which is great for showcars
KW makes ST suspension, but their model codes don't align. Great suspension choice regardless.
I've got a B5 Passat with the 1.8T. That 350hp sounds like fun 😁😁😁
I have Just ordered ST XA for my E39 540i but i am kinda scared that they will be very stiff and the ride will be harsh. Should i be worried?
@@coolturista8714 No, the ST XA is still really comfortable.
You can also adjust the stiffness a little bit, I made mine a little bit stiffer because it was too soft for me.
@@voqzmk2 thank you very much for response
Just bought kw v3 for my b7 rs4 :-) can't wait 4-6 weeks shipping . Gonna be a long mth but excited wooooooooo
I just have one request... a set of v3s for my S4. Thanks!
For truck guys. KW and Belltech are somewhat the same but for trucks
Ran V3 on my M4 since 2020 and now I have KW competition 2 way. I’m in Germany and track my car a lot
I’ve just ordered v2 for my mini,just got to sort some camber plates out now 💪🏻
I would but every part I owned was owned by Affirm first
Fair enough 😂
I got Rev9s coils on my car had them on my car for a while even in that gawd awful snow storm in Texas a while back

What happened to the Mazdaspeed 6

Does KW's have a best model for 2008 Infinity G35x
Yeah just lube the trombone and you should be good
Kinda want some V1’s for my G35 Coupe 😏
I’d love to get V2s but unfortunately only V1 and V3 fit on my Xdrive.
Only thing I don't like about kw is they don't come with CC plates. It's a industry standard for almost all coilover companies.
Great informative video appreciate it big time
No mention of the clubsport?
How do you adjust the ride height on the V1-3 without messing with the preload of the spring? Cuz I only see 2 collars for the spring
That t-shirt is dope

Are they better than BC Racing
I should have went with KW 😔
If you buy KW save the receipt as they are warrantied for life with the receipt . Best money i ever spent on my Cooper S.
Which ones did you go with?
@@fabioalonzo7299 Hello Mr.Alonzo . I went with the Variant 3 and they worked great for me . I have on occasion tracked my car .
Do an adjustable coil overs video, I wanna be able to get low but then raise a bit to go up to my hunting spot
These, and basically all coilovers, are adjustable. That’s kinda the point.
Love My V1’s on my WRX
Would you say v1s are at a acceptable height? Can you make a video your wrx?
@@SimbaUchihaa I’m sorry you want a video ?
@@pistons_n_pizza yes of your wrx
