Enhance the handling, ride quality, and appearance of your Porsche 991 Carrera or Carrera S with the KW Variant 3 Coilover Suspension Kit. Engineered using KW's extensive motorsport suspension experience, the V3 system combines adjustable ride height with independently adjustable compression and rebound damping for precise control over suspension performance.
Unlike conventional lowering springs, the KW V3 system replaces the factory springs and shock absorbers with a complete performance coilover suspension. This allows owners to fine-tune chassis response while achieving a lower, more aggressive stance.
The system features 16-click adjustable rebound damping and 12-click adjustable low-speed compression damping. Rebound adjustment controls the rate at which the suspension extends after compression, helping manage body movement and vehicle stability. Compression adjustment allows drivers to refine suspension response during braking, cornering, acceleration, and changing road conditions.
KW's premium INOX-LINE stainless-steel shock housings provide excellent corrosion resistance and long-term durability. The threaded height-adjustment system and composite spring seats allow precise ride-height customization while maintaining the suspension's intended operating characteristics.
For compatible Porsche 991 applications, the kit provides an approximate lowering range of 25–50mm (1.0–2.0 inches) at both the front and rear axles. This helps reduce wheel gap, lower the vehicle's center of gravity, and create a more purposeful appearance.
Designed to balance everyday comfort with performance-oriented handling, the KW V3 suspension can be configured for a more compliant street setup or a firmer, more responsive driving experience.
Part number 35271043 is intended for Porsche 991 models without factory PASM or PDCC. Vehicles equipped with these systems require a different application-specific suspension solution.
For Porsche 991 owners seeking improved chassis control, customizable ride height, and premium German suspension engineering, the KW Variant 3 Coilover Kit delivers a comprehensive performance upgrade.
