Description
KW V1 Coilovers – 2018+ Tesla Model 3/Model Y (4WD, Performance) is built for the enthusiast who wants the suspension to become a functional part of the chassis setup, not simply a visual drop.
KW V1 combines threaded ride-height adjustment with an application-specific, factory-set damper calibration. It is intended for drivers who want the response and stance benefits of a complete coilover without external damping controls. The platform's mass and immediate power delivery make disciplined body and wheel control especially important when the car is driven hard.
Why Choose the KW V1 for This Application?
Choose the V1 when you want a complete KW coilover and adjustable stance but prefer KW to define the damper calibration. It is the simplest route into the KW coilover range and avoids adding setup decisions the car may not need.

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. For a road-driven car, preserving usable bump travel and sensible alignment is usually more important than using the full available lowering range.
Important KW Fitment Notes
- KW Note 2: Height adjustable front and rear axles (front axle threaded strut housings, rear axle adjustable springs + dampers)
- KW Note 62: Not for vehicles with electronic damping
- KW Note 67: Valving is adjusted by adjustment knobs, rebound is only adjustable if the top of the piston rod is accessible. This will depend on the design of the vehicle.
Fitment note: Specifications above are tied to the exact KW part number shown and the application data in the supplied KW jobber sheet. Confirm the vehicle's drivetrain, factory electronic suspension, axle weight and any listed hardware requirements before ordering.
