OVERVIEW
The KW Clubsport 2-Way is a coilover system built for the race track and the road, now sold by KW under the V3 Clubsport name. KW developed these setups on the Nordschleife using track-day tires, with continuously adjustable ride height and damping tuned for hard track use that still works on the street.
Rebound and compression damping are adjusted independently. The rebound adjuster offers 16 precise clicks to influence wheel and tire loading and overall chassis balance, while the low-speed compression adjuster offers 12 precise clicks. Together they let you dial the car in for vehicle load, wheel and tire combination, road surface and track conditions.
Optional spherical-bearing aluminum top mounts allow suspension geometry to be adjusted to suit the tires and the intended use. The dampers use KW stainless steel inox-line construction for long-term corrosion resistance and durability.

TECH RESOURCES
Additional Parts Required
- A four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation and after any subsequent ride-height change.
- Professional installation is required; spring compressors and correct torque procedures are needed to service the struts safely.
- Ride-height sensors must be removed or transferred as described in the KW instructions on cars equipped with them (headlight leveling / driver-assistance systems).
- Driver-assistance cameras and radar sensors must be recalibrated after the car is lowered.
- Check tire and wheel clearance to the strut body and to the fender before driving, especially with aftermarket wheel and tire packages.
Installation
Notes
- Rear-wheel-drive (2WD) models without EDC / Adaptive M Suspension only. Cars with factory electronic damper control require a different KW order number. Verify your exact model year and options with Speed Logic if you are unsure.
