That inline-five exhaust note puts a signature on every rev before you see the car. The 8V RS3 was built around one of the most distinctive engines in the compact performance segment, and the chassis was engineered to match. When you lower it correctly and tune the dampers, you stop driving around the car's limits and start using them.
The KW V3 kit for EDC-equipped RS3s includes the Electronic Damping Control cancellation module so you do not lose warning lights or cause system faults. Independent compression and rebound adjustment means you dial in the firmness you want separately, giving you a setup that suits your roads without giving up the response you bought this car for.
