Description
KW V5 Clubsport targets owners of the 2016–2021 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT (Coupe, Roadster) who want a suspension package selected around the vehicle application rather than a generic spring-and-damper combination.
KW V5 Clubsport represents the most tuning-intensive end of the road-legal Clubsport range, with independent low- and high-speed adjustment for both rebound and compression. It is intended for developed track cars where tire, aero, alignment and load changes justify a wide damper tuning window. 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 V5 Clubsport for This Application?
Choose V5 Clubsport for a highly developed road-legal track car where four-way damping is justified by the rest of the package. This is suspension for iterative setup work, not a fit-and-forget lowering solution.

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.
Important KW Fitment Notes
