KW Coilover Kit Variant 3 (V3) 2-Way Adjustable (Non-EDC) – BMW 430i xDrive / M440i xDrive (G22), Front Axle up to 1070 kg

OVERVIEW

The Variant 3 is KW's two-way adjustable coilover and the one most people actually want. Compression and rebound are on separate adjusters, so you can firm up body control without also killing rebound compliance, and ride height is continuously adjustable across the kit's range. It is the sensible step up from a spring-only kit and a large step up from the factory strut.

The stock damper is the limiting part on the G22 430i xDrive and M440i xDrive. Factory valving is a single fixed compromise and the ride height is whatever the car left the line at. The V3 replaces the whole strut with a rebuildable, height-adjustable, damping-adjustable unit.

This listing covers KW 352200CX, the non-EDC kit for the G22 430i xDrive and M440i xDrive coupe without factory Electronic Damper Control (EDC) and a front gross axle weight rating of up to 1070 kg. KW splits this car across four V3 kits by EDC and front axle rating: EDC cars with the same axle rating take KW 352200CY; non-EDC cars with a front axle rating of 1071–1170 kg take KW 352200CZ; and EDC cars at 1071–1170 kg take KW 352200DA.
