KW Coilover Kit V3 - Audi R8 (42) (2007-2015) All Models All Engines w/ Magnetic Ride
You bought a mid-engine supercar with a naturally aspirated V8 or V10 engine that sounds like nothing else on the road. The Gen 1 R8 was already capable, but the stock Magnetic Ride dampers were calibrated for a broad audience. You are not a broad audience, and your R8 should not be set up like one.
The KW V3 replaces the Magnetic Ride dampers with a system you actually control. Independent compression and rebound dials let you tune for the track day, then soften up for the drive home, all without pulling the wheels. A stainless monotube builds corrosion resistance into every component so the kit lasts as long as the car does. This is not an upgrade. This is the suspension the R8 deserved from the factory.
