KW Coilover Kit V3 - Audi S3 8V (2014-2020) Quattro 2.0T w/ Magnetic Ride
The 8V S3 gave the US market a proper Quattro sport compact with 300 horsepower and a chassis that could actually use them. On the stock Magnetic Ride setup, the S3 is impressive. On a properly tuned set of coilovers, it is a different car entirely. The potential was always there. The factory suspension just kept a lid on it.
The KW V3 kit for Magnetic Ride S3s includes the Electronic Damping Control cancellation module so the swap is clean and your warning lights stay off. Independent compression and rebound adjustment then puts the chassis tuning in your hands. Run a comfortable compression setting for the commute and keep the rebound taut for the autocross weekend. One car, one setup, complete control across both.
