Description
KW V3 Coilovers – 2018–2025 Audi SQ5 (FY) (With DCC) is built for the enthusiast who wants the suspension to become a functional part of the chassis setup, not simply a visual drop.
KW V3 is built around independent low-speed rebound and compression adjustment. KW's current V3 architecture provides 16 rebound clicks and 12 compression clicks, giving an enthusiast meaningful control over chassis support, response and ride without moving into a dedicated motorsport damper. The application-specific calibration is intended to give the chassis a more deliberate response than a one-size-fits-all suspension combination.
Why Choose the KW V3 for This Application?
Choose the V3 when the car needs a broader operating window. Independent rebound and compression control makes it easier to balance ride, platform support and tire contact as the build moves between street use and more demanding driving.

Enthusiast Setup Perspective
The tuning opportunity is greatest when the car has already moved beyond basic cosmetic modification. As grip and braking capability increase, damper control becomes progressively more important to keeping the chassis predictable. After installation, establish ride height and alignment first, then make damper changes in small increments and record them so the effect of each adjustment remains clear.
