Description
On the 2016–2023 Audi TT/TTS/TT RS (8S/MQB | With Magnetic Ride), KW V3 is best approached as a chassis-tuning upgrade first and a ride-height change second.
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. On a compact performance platform, the payoff is sharper transient response and a more settled chassis as tire grip and cornering load increase.
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
For mixed street and performance use, start from KW's baseline settings and make changes one variable at a time. That gives the driver a repeatable way to separate genuine setup improvement from simple changes in ride feel. 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.
