KW V3 Classic Line Suspension Mercedes-Benz W124 500 E

The KW V3 Classic Line represents the pinnacle of decades of expertise in high-performance automotive suspension engineering, designed specifically for iconic vehicles like the Mercedes-Benz W124. This product is tailored for discerning owners who demand the perfect blend of performance, comfort, and durability, featuring a dual independent adjustment system for compression and rebound, ensuring an unparalleled driving experience that meets individual preferences.

Advanced Adjustment Technology

The KW V3 Classic Line suspension incorporates patented technology that allows for independent adjustment of compression and rebound, delivering the highest degree of customization. This cutting-edge technology is directly derived from our experience in motorsports, where every millisecond counts, and the precision of dynamic vehicle response is critical.

1. Compression Adjustable in 12 Clicks: Compression, which controls the speed at which the damper reacts during spring compression, is adjustable in 12 positions. This feature allows for fine-tuning of vertical forces on the axle, improving high-speed stability, shock absorption, and cornering performance. Adjusting the compression setting enables the driver to optimize the vehicle’s handling characteristics for enhanced performance or increased comfort, depending on the driving conditions.
2. Rebound Adjustable in 16 Clicks: Rebound adjustment, on the other hand, controls how quickly the damper returns to its original position after compression. With 16 possible settings, drivers can precisely influence the road handling and chassis response to inputs. By increasing rebound force, the chassis maintains better control during cornering acceleration, minimizing excessive body movement and providing maximum driving precision.

Lowering Range and Improved Handling

1. Adjustable Front/Rear Lowering Range (20-45mm / 20-40mm): The KW V3 Classic Line offers progressive lowering, reducing the vehicle’s center of gravity for improved stability and mass distribution during cornering. Lowering the ride height not only optimizes aerodynamics but also enhances the vehicle’s agility and road handling, particularly under dynamic driving conditions.
2. Optimized for High-Performance Tires: This suspension system allows drivers to fully exploit the benefits of ultra-high-performance (UHP) tires by precisely managing tire-to-road contact pressure. As a result, drivers can maximize grip, stability, and cornering precision, all while minimizing tire wear.

High-Performance Components and Inox-Line Durability

1. Inox-Line: Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, the KW Inox-Line suspension provides superior corrosion resistance. This material is renowned for its durability, even in extreme environments (salted roads, humid conditions, etc.). The longevity of KW Inox-Line components far exceeds that of standard suspensions, ensuring long-lasting performance.
2. Quality and Durability Tested: Every KW V3 kit undergoes rigorous testing on dynamic test benches as well as in real-world road environments, including the Nürburgring Nordschleife, to ensure unparalleled reliability and performance. KW’s commitment to quality allows us to offer a 5-year warranty on products installed by our certified partners.
