Ideal for fast-road use, daily driving and the occasional track day, this upgrade delivers a precise stance and serious handling gains without sacrificing refinement.

• Independent bump and rebound control for fine-tuning ride and handling
• Stainless steel damper bodies for outstanding corrosion resistance in UK winters
• Precise click adjustment - 16-stage rebound and 12-stage compression

This KW Variant 3 system takes motorsport know-how and packages it for the road. The separate low-speed compression and rebound adjusters let you dial out body roll, sharpen steering response and enhance traction, while keeping ride quality civilised for long journeys. Thanks to the inox stainless construction, threads stay free and easy to adjust year after year, making seasonal ride height tweaks straightforward.

Why this suspension kit

If you want a premium lowering solution for your E61 that goes far beyond basic springs and shocks, this spring and damper package is the benchmark. The twin-tube layout and carefully matched rates deliver confidence on B-roads and the motorway alike, with the scope to support larger wheel and tyre combinations. Our own installs at MJ Modifications have consistently impressed, and customer feedback highlights the improved composure, reduced squat and enhanced high-speed stability.
