KW Coilover Kit V1 Audi A8 / S8 (4D/D2) FWD + Quattro; all engines

If you're looking to give your 1997-2003 Audi A8 or S8 a more connected feel on the road and the ability to dial in its stance, this KW V1 coilover kit is a solid choice. This kit replaces your factory suspension components with integrated struts and springs, allowing for a lower ride height and a more performance-oriented setup. KW engineers develop a specific damper tune and spring rate for each vehicle application, aiming for a balanced blend of sporty handling and everyday comfort. They test these setups extensively on tracks like the Nürburgring and in their own chassis dynamics labs to ensure they work well with your specific car.

The V1 system uses KW's INOX-LINE stainless steel construction for the struts, which means they're highly resistant to corrosion, even when you're adjusting the ride height. This makes it easier to make changes down the road without worrying about seized threads. The kit also includes bump stops with integrated dust protection to help keep dirt and water away from the piston rod and seals, contributing to a longer lifespan. You get a pre-configured damping setup that's designed to reduce body roll and give you more direct handling, all while maintaining a comfortable ride for daily driving.

This kit is designed to be a complete suspension upgrade, providing both the lowering capability and the performance tuning you're looking for. The ride height is adjustable within an approved range, ensuring your suspension still has proper travel and function after you lower the vehicle. Each coilover is individually serialized and tested at KW's headquarters in Germany, so you know you're getting a well-built part.
