Product details
OVERVIEW
KW Variant 3 brings race technology to the road with independently adjustable compression and rebound damping. The motorsport-derived valving allows a custom setup for street, canyon or track use rather than a single fixed compromise.
KW's patented dual-level valve system separates the two adjustments: rebound damping is set for ride comfort and body control, while compression damping governs the car's driving dynamics. Ride height is adjustable as well, so stance and handling can be tuned independently of one another.

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.
- Check tire and wheel clearance to the strut body and to the fender before driving, especially with aftermarket wheel and tire packages.
- Optional: corner-balancing after the ride height is set.
