Description
For a 2020+ Mercedes-Benz A35 AMG/CLA 35 AMG/CLA 45 AMG (W177/C118 | AWD) being developed beyond stock suspension behavior, KW V3 Clubsport provides a more deliberate foundation for ride height, body control and tire management.
KW V3 Clubsport is developed for enthusiasts who regularly use road-legal cars on track. It combines independent rebound and compression adjustment with firmer, motorsport-oriented spring/damper calibration and application-specific top-mount hardware where specified. The setup should be viewed as a tunable system whose final behavior depends on alignment, tire, ride height and the driver's intended circuit use.
Why Choose the KW V3 Clubsport for This Application?
Choose V3 Clubsport when the vehicle sees meaningful track use and the standard V3's street bias is no longer the main priority. The stronger track focus makes alignment, tire choice and corner balancing more consequential.

Enthusiast Setup Perspective
A good installation should leave enough travel for the road or circuit being used. Chasing maximum lowering at the expense of bump travel can work against the very grip and control this system is intended to provide. 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.
Important KW Fitment Notes
