Description KW 3522500Z-B Coilover Kit V3 Classic Line for MERCEDES-BENZ SL (R107) 1971-1989

The KW V3 Classic Line offers unlimited individuality for both performance and comfort. Damping forces can be adjusted separately in rebound and compression. The engineers have developed a sporty yet harmonious basic setup, as with any KW coilover kit. To guarantee the perfect suspension setup, testing is performed on the KW 7-post rig as well as through extensive driving tests on country roads, motorways, and the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

The KW V3 coilover has been a benchmark in the aftermarket for years, convincing sports car drivers, tuners, and manufacturers such as Alpina, MTM, Manthey, and Oettinger with its damping characteristics, quality finish, and durability. Advanced technology from motorsport is incorporated, with experience drawn from series such as ADAC GT Masters, FIA GT1, FIA GT3, International GT Open, WTC, VLN, and the ADAC Zurich 24h-race Nürburgring. The KW V3 can be adjusted independently in compression and rebound damping, a feature appreciated by sports car manufacturers, tuners, and drivers worldwide.

The patented KW-valve technology allows separate adjustment of rebound and compression damping, enabling individual suspension setup. The adjustable KW bottom valve modifies the low-speed range of the compression level in twelve clicks, and the patented compression adjuster at the lower end of the stainless steel housing requires no tools. Adjustable compression damping with twelve clicks allows manual influence on body roll without changing the spring rate. The rebound setup can be adjusted precisely, directly influencing handling and comfort. Depending on the vehicle, rebound valves are adjusted via an integrated adjustment wheel or a twist-adjustment wheel included in the delivery. Increasing rebound force reduces body movements and increases stability during high-speed cornering. The KW V3 allows for handling adjustments when changing wheel or tire combinations approved by the manufacturer.

The KW V3 kit and each damper undergo extensive quality tests during production to meet high standards. KW coilover struts made of stainless steel are 100% rust-free and offer unlimited lifetime. Continuous lowering is possible via the dirt-resistant KW trapezoid thread and KW composite collar, even after years of use. Individual lowering with continuous adjustment range emphasizes the sportiness of the vehicle visually, a popular feature in the performance-oriented tuning scene.
