Audi A3: Fourtitude's project car getting new coilovers

Fourtitude's project car, an Audi A3 with DSG, is getting new KW variant 3 coilovers.

Straight out of the box, handling of the Audi A3 is impressive. Nevertheless, there’s always room for improvement. Prepping the car for more intense track use and dropping it to an aggressive ride height were two priorities for the A3 - priorities that KW Variant 3 coilovers seemed to fit perfectly.

For those not familiar with the KW line of coilovers, the German company offers three versions with varying degrees of adjustability. Each version of the KW coilovers are constructed of stainless steel, INOX in KW brand speak. This is particularly beneficial in making the suspension more impervious snow, salt, and grime.

KW’s Variant 1 (V1) system is height adjustable only while the Variant 2 (V2) system ads dampening to the mix. The Variant 3 (V3) is based on race car technology to give the maximum performance for the street and track. V3 systems offer height, rebound, and dampening for front and rear shocks, with a lowering range of 1.4” - 2.6” at both front and rear. The intent of going with the V3 was to make the car sit low, but still ride with the comfort of the stock sport suspension and also be able to push the limits of the car while at an autocross or on a road course.
