How it improves your 1 Series
The KW V3 coilover kit lets you fine tune rebound to control ride comfort and mid-corner composure, while the 12-click low-speed compression adjuster at the base of the damper lets you dial out body roll and pitch without increasing spring rate. Expect tighter turn-in, improved tyre contact, confident braking and traction, plus a tailored ride that suits your wheels and tyres, road conditions and driving style.
