KW Variant 3 for BMW E81 E82 E87 1 Series — serious handling, daily comfort

Give your E8x 1 Series a genuine performance suspension upgrade with the KW Variant 3 adjustable damper and spring package. This two way adjustable setup lets you dial in bump and rebound independently for fast-road confidence, track day precision and everyday ride quality. If you want sharper front-end bite, flatter cornering and consistent control in all weather, this is the kit we trust on our own cars and our customers love.

Why this V3 package stands out

• Independent damping adjusters: 16 clicks of rebound and 12 clicks of compression for fine tuning balance and comfort
• Inox-Line stainless steel bodies and threaded struts for long term corrosion resistance on UK roads
• Ride height adjustment within the tested range for the perfect stance and geometry
• Developed on KW’s 7-post rig and proven at the Nürburgring for repeatable performance
• Twin-tube damper technology with precision valve control for stability and grip
• Part approval §19.3 with comprehensive documentation

What you will feel on the road

Faster steering response, reduced body roll, stronger traction out of bends and improved high-speed stability. Use rebound to manage body motion and ride quality, then tailor compression to add support and adjust mid-corner balance without changing springs. Ideal for fast road, occasional circuit use and properly controlled lowering.
