Upgrade the handling, ride quality, and appearance of your Porsche 997 Carrera or Carrera S with the KW Variant 3 Coilover Suspension Kit. Developed using KW's extensive motorsport engineering experience, the V3 system combines adjustable ride height with independently adjustable compression and rebound damping for precise suspension tuning.
Unlike conventional lowering springs, the KW V3 system replaces the factory springs and shock absorbers with a complete performance suspension solution. This allows drivers to fine-tune chassis response while achieving a lower, more aggressive stance.
Featuring 16-click adjustable rebound damping and 12-click adjustable low-speed compression damping, the KW V3 provides exceptional flexibility for street and performance driving. Rebound adjustment helps control suspension extension and body movement, while compression adjustment influences how the vehicle responds to cornering, braking, acceleration, and road imperfections.
The system utilizes KW's INOX-LINE stainless-steel shock housings, engineered for excellent corrosion resistance and long-term durability. Precision-threaded height adjustment and composite spring seats allow owners to customize ride height while maintaining the suspension's intended operating characteristics.
KW specifies an approximate lowering range of 0.8–1.8 inches (20–45mm) at both the front and rear axles, allowing owners to improve wheel-to-fender fitment and lower the vehicle's center of gravity.
Designed to balance responsive handling with everyday drivability, the KW V3 can be adjusted for a more comfortable street setup or a firmer configuration suited to spirited driving.
Part number 35271015 is intended for Porsche 997 Carrera and Carrera S models without factory PASM electronic suspension. Vehicles equipped with PASM require a different application-specific KW configuration.
For Porsche 997 owners seeking improved chassis control, adjustable ride height, and premium German suspension engineering, the KW Variant 3 Coilover Kit provides a comprehensive suspension upgrade.
