KW Coilover Kit V1 BMW 3series E36 (3C 3/C 3/CG) Compact (Hatchback)

The INOX-LINE stainless steel construction of these KW V1 coilovers means they're built to resist corrosion, even when you're adjusting the ride height. This is KW's entry-level street performance coilover kit, and it's designed specifically for your 1995-1999 BMW 318ti Compact. They give you the ability to lower your car within an approved range, ensuring your suspension still has proper travel and function after the drop.

KW's engineers develop a specific damper setup and spring rate for each vehicle application, and they test these setups extensively on the Nürburgring Nordschleife and in their 7-post chassis dynamics test center. This means you get a balanced and sporty feel that's tuned for your 318ti, offering an improved driving experience with reduced body roll for more direct handling. The composite spring perches are made from a wear-resistant polyamide with a stainless steel insert, preventing oxidation and maximizing strength. Even after years of use, the dirt-resistant trapezoid threads and composite collars make ride height adjustment straightforward.

This kit includes elastomer bump stops with integrated dust protection to keep dirt and water away from the piston rod and seals, contributing to long-term durability. Each damper is individually tested at KW's headquarters in Germany to ensure accuracy and functionality before it ships. You'll also get a limited lifetime warranty with unlimited mileage.
