Short answer: KW V1 — height adjustable only, pre-configured damping, maintenance-free. Ideal for sporty lowering in everyday use. KW V2 — additionally rebound adjustable, for ambitious sporty drivers. KW V3 — rebound and compression separately adjustable, for road and track. Rule of thumb: V1 = Optics + Comfort, V2 = Road Sport, V3 = Trackday-ready with individual tuning.
If you want to drive your vehicle sportier, safer, and more comfortably on the road, a high-quality coilover kit is essential. KW has been one of the leading manufacturers for years and offers a wide range of options for various applications with its V1, V2, and V3 variants.
