BMW i3 i3S KW Suspension – Street Performance Coilover V3 Inox

KW Suspension Street Performance Coilovers V3 Inox For The i3 & i3S (I01). High Quality German Coilovers. Adjustable Rebound & Compression.

Similar to the racing coilovers from the KW Racing program, the KW V3 can be adjusted independently in compression and rebound damping. This individual adjustment possibility is much appreciated by sports car manufacturers, tuners and drivers worldwide.

If you have already made your first performance modifications to your vehicle the KW V3 coilover will compliment your upgrades. The patented KW-valve technology for separate adjustment of rebound and compression damping allows you to individually setup your suspension. The adjustable KW bottom valve adjusts the low-speed range of the compression level in twelve clicks.

You don’t need any adjusting tools because of the compression adjuster at the lower end of the stainless steel housing. The adjustable compression damping with its twelve exact clicks allows you to manually influence body roll, without having to change the spring rate which optimally matches the rebound.

With the individually adjustable rebound setup of the KW V3 you can directly influence the handling and comfort with its precise click adjustment. Depending on the vehicle type, the rebound valves of the KW twin-tube dampers on the upper end of the piston rod will be adjusted via an integrated adjustment wheel or a twist-adjustment wheel which is included in the delivery content.

By increasing the rebound force via the adjustment wheel body movements are reduced. You will have more stability during high speed cornering. If you change for example the wheel / tire combination (approved by the car manufacturer) to larger wheels, then with a KW V3 you will be able to adjust the car’s handling perfectly.

By the individual lowering with its continuous adjustment range, you can emphasize the sportiness of your vehicle visually. A feature that is very popular in the performance-oriented tuning scene.

The KW V3 coilover kit is the perfect accessory for performance-oriented drivers and tuning enthusiasts who put a great demand on their suspension. The separately rebound and compression damping adjustable dampers with their “well-thought-through” click adjustment allow a perfect setup. So it is easy to influence the steering behaviour, directional stability, tire grip and handling characteristics when driving on the limit.

Top Mount Replacement

Having worked on a huge amount of BMW i3 and i3S over the last few years we have noticed that the top mounts (Top part of the coilover) are starting to wear through which can affect how the vehicle drives and performs. At the same time as doing your suspension upgrade we can supply and fit replacement top mounts (Front Only or Front & Rear) with no additional labour cost if we’re installing this upgrade for you. Typically if your i3 has done over 30,000 miles we would recommend replacing the fronts. If you have done over 60,000 miles we would recommend replacing both front and rear. These can be chosen as an options whilst placing your order. For more information on these top mounts, please see the linked products at the bottom of this listing.

The replacement top mounts will be the genuine BMW versions with all new fixings.
