The B9 S5 Coupe is the kind of car that earns a second look going and a longer look coming back. The 3.0 TFSI pulls hard, the proportions are right, and the chassis was engineered to cover ground quickly. What the stock ride height and standard dampers cost you is the last 20 percent of what this platform can do dynamically. The KW V3 is how you collect it.
The V3 for the B9 S5 Coupe uses a 48.5mm spring perch matched to the platform and puts independent compression and rebound dials at your fingertips. Set the compression for your roads. Dial in the rebound for body control that matches the coupe's long-legged character. You get a car that rides better on imperfect roads and handles sharper on the roads worth driving, without asking you to compromise one for the other. This is the setup the S5 was missing from the factory.
