KW Coilover Kit V4 - Audi R8 42 V8 incl. Spyder without Magnetic Ride (2010-2015)
The R8 42 V8 is a mid-engine supercar that rewards a proper suspension setup more than almost anything else in its class. The chassis balance is exceptional from the factory, and the V4 is what takes that balance and makes it adjustable on your terms, not Audi's.
Four-way independent adjustment gives you separate control over high-speed compression for bump and kerb compliance, low-speed compression for the body motion the R8's weight generates in hard corners, and both rebound circuits for how the car settles mid-corner and at exit. This kit fits the V8 version of the 42-chassis R8 including Spyder, but it does not fit cars equipped with Magnetic Ride. If you have Magnetic Ride, that's a different kit. The titanium nitride coated shock shaft keeps the damper response friction-free and consistent across a full track session.
