Description
KW V3 targets owners of the 2019+ BMW X5 (G05 | With EDC, Air Suspension) who want a suspension package selected around the vehicle application rather than a generic spring-and-damper combination.
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. For a heavier crossover/SUV platform, managing pitch, roll and vertical body motion is a major part of making the vehicle feel more composed without sacrificing useful travel.
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
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.
