Description
The value of KW V3 Leveling on a 2018–2025 Audi Q5/SQ5 (FY) (With DCC) is not just the change in stance; it is the ability to place the chassis in a more controlled operating window for the way the car is actually driven.
KW V3 Leveling uses the V3 concept to address vehicles where the goal is controlled stance correction and chassis support rather than aggressive lowering alone. Independent damping adjustment allows the owner to refine the setup around load, tire and road conditions. The application-specific calibration is intended to give the chassis a more deliberate response than a one-size-fits-all suspension combination.
Why Choose the KW V3 Leveling for This Application?
Choose V3 Leveling when correcting stance and controlling the vehicle under load are equally important. It offers more setup authority than a simple leveling spring or spacer approach.
Key Features
- Application-specific height adjustment for leveling
- Independent rebound and compression tuning
- Matched spring and damper package

Enthusiast Setup Perspective
This setup makes the most sense when the suspension is being treated as part of a complete package. Final ride height, alignment, tire choice and available bump travel should be considered together rather than setting the car as low as possible.
Important KW Fitment Notes
- KW Note 2: Height adjustable front and rear axles (front axle threaded strut housings, rear axle adjustable springs + dampers)
