Audi Q3 (8U) with Coilover Suspension

The Audi Q3 combines sporty design with everyday versatility – a compact SUV that has been on the market since 2011, and especially in its second generation (from 2018), it has made a name for itself with its modern interior, efficient drivetrain, and optional all-wheel drive. With its bold appearance and elevated seating position, it performs just as confidently on the open road as it does in urban environments. However, in terms of driving dynamics, there’s still room for improvement – especially with a high-quality coilover suspension system. The continuously adjustable lowering allows you to customize the vehicle height of the Q3 – this not only enhances its appearance but also noticeably improves its handling. Compared to a standard sport suspension, a height-adjustable sport suspension offers significantly more flexibility, for example, when switching between summer and winter tires or with varying loads. For instance: While a sport suspension offers a fixed lowering, a coilover kit allows you to fine-tune the ride height exactly to your needs – for a bold look and more agile road feel. Particularly with the Audi Q3, the combination of a higher center of gravity and a stiffer suspension setup leads to improved cornering control and more direct steering feedback. With added lowering, the SUV gains noticeable dynamics without sacrificing everyday usability – perfect for anyone wanting to get more out of their Q3.

Audi Q3 (8U) 8UB, 8UG with KW V1 Coilover Suspension

The KW V1 coilover suspension gives the Audi Q3 (8U) – built between 2011 and 2018 – a significantly sportier driving feel and noticeably improved road handling. With continuously adjustable lowering from 30–60 mm at the front axle and 40–70 mm at the rear, you can tailor the vehicle height to your personal preferences – whether you're going for a dynamic appearance or enhanced driving performance. Made from high-quality stainless steel, this suspension impresses with durability and resistance – perfect for year-round use. The KW V1 is specially tuned for performance-oriented drivers who prefer a fixed damping setup but still value precise handling and increased driving fun. Especially in an SUV like the Q3, which naturally has a higher ride height, the lowering ensures more direct steering and better stability in corners. Compared to standard sport suspensions, the KW V1, as a height-adjustable sport suspension, offers a noticeable upgrade in both looks and handling – all without compromising everyday driveability. KW uses a vehicle-specific, pre-configured damper setup that perfectly matches the Q3’s driving characteristics.
