KW V3 Coilover Kit – 2020–2026 Chevrolet C8 Corvette | Without Magnetic Ride Control | With OE Nose Lift
Elevate the chassis performance of your 2020–2026 C8 Corvette to the next level with the KW Variant 3 (V3) Coilover Kit — cutting-edge motorsport suspension technology, engineered and manufactured in Germany by KW automotive. The KW V3 delivers a significant increase in safety reserves and driving dynamics on the road and track: pitching and rolling movements during load changes, evasive maneuvers, cornering, acceleration, and braking are significantly reduced, braking distances are shortened, and driver feedback and confidence are dramatically improved. The V3's patented TVR-A and TVC-A technology provides separately and independently adjustable rebound and compression damping — the only way to achieve true performance optimization without compromise.
Key Features
- Separately Adjustable Rebound & Compression Damping (TVR-A / TVC-A): KW's patented TVR-A and TVC-A technology allows rebound and compression damping to be adjusted separately and independently of each other — enabling true performance optimization. For example, compression damping can be increased for more grip and reduced squat without altering the rebound stage, which is optimally matched to the spring rate. This unique capability is not possible with single-adjustment coilovers
- Extensive Adjustment Range: Wide, independently configurable rebound and compression adjustment range allows direct influence over steering behavior, directional stability, grip, and handling characteristics — for confident and repeatable results at the limit of driving dynamics
- Reduced Body Motion: High-quality dampers, springs, and elastomer spring elements significantly reduce pitching and rolling during load changes, cornering, acceleration, and braking — a measurable improvement in chassis composure and driver confidence
- Shortened Braking Distances: Improved chassis control and tire contact patch management contribute to shortened braking distances — a direct safety benefit of the KW V3 system
- OE Nose Lift Compatible: Engineered to retain and work with the C8 Corvette's factory OE nose lift system — preserving the factory front lift functionality
- German Engineering & Manufacturing: Designed and manufactured in Germany by KW automotive — a globally recognized leader in performance coilover suspension trusted by professional motorsport teams and performance enthusiasts worldwide
