Audi A3 (8P) 8P7 Cabrio with KW Coilover Suspension V3

The KW coilover suspension V3 for the Audi A3 (8P) 8P7 Cabrio is the ideal choice for drivers seeking the perfect balance between sporty handling and everyday comfort. Produced between 2008 and 2013, the Audi A3 Cabrio combines the dynamic design of the A3 series with the open-air freedom of a convertible. With engine options ranging from 105 to 200 horsepower, the 8P7 offers sporty performance, further enhanced by an optimized suspension system. The KW V3 allows for a seamless height adjustment from 25 to 55 mm at both the front and rear axles, lowering the vehicle’s center of gravity. This results in improved road grip and a more stable driving experience, particularly in corners and at high speeds. Thanks to the stainless steel damper housings, the suspension is corrosion-resistant and durable, making it especially reliable in varying weather conditions.

The ride comfort can also be further optimised with the adjustable compression. The KW V3 is renowned for its versatility and is appreciated by tuning enthusiasts and motorsport teams worldwide. It incorporates technologies directly derived from motorsport, offering an exceptional level of precision and performance. Compared to traditional sport suspensions, the KW V3 provides significantly greater adjustability, leading to enhanced driving stability at high speeds and more precise steering response.
