About KW Variant 3 (V3) "inox-line" Coilovers

Unlimited individuality for performance & comfort

Damping forces can be adjustment separately in rebound & compression

KW's engineers have developed a sporty yet harmonious basic setup, as with any KW coilover kit. To be able to guarantee the perfect suspension setup, each kit is tested on the KW 7-post rig, as well as extensive driving tests on country roads, motorways and even on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. For years, the KW coilover kit Variant 3 inox-line is one of the top aftermarket products and is a benchmark for coilovers. It convinces sports car drivers, tuner, large-and small series manufacturer such as Alpina, MTM, Manthey, Oettinger and many more leading companies in the international automotive industry with its damping characteristics, quality finish and durability.

Advanced technology from motor sport

With the KW coilovers Variant 3 inox-line you will get much more than just a sporty lowering and excellent driving behaviour on all roads. It is based on KW's long experience as a suspension manufacturer and supplier for international motor sport, such as the touring car series ADAC GT Masters, FIA GT1, FIA GT3, International GT Open, WTC, VLN and the legendary ADAC Zurich 24h-race Nürburgring.

Similar to the racing coilovers from the KW Competition program, the KW coilovers Variant 3 inox-line can be adjusted independently in compression and rebound damping. This individual adjustment possibility is much appreciated by sports car manufacturers, tuners and drivers worldwide.

The perfect suspension setup for more driving pleasure

If you have already made your first performance modifications to your vehicle, the KW coilovers Variant 3 will compliment your upgrades. The patented KW-valve technology for separate adjustment of rebound and compression damping allows you to individually setup your suspension. The adjustable KW bottom valve adjusts the low-speed range of the compression level in twelve clicks.

You don't need any adjusting tools because of the patented compression adjuster at the lower end of the stainless steel housing. The adjustable compression damping with its twelve exact clicks allows you to manually influence body roll, without having to change the spring rate which optimally matches the rebound.

With the individually adjustable rebound setup of the KW coilover Variant 3 inox-line, you can directly influence the handling and comfort with its precise click adjustment. Depending on the vehicle type, the rebound valves of the KW twin-tube dampers on the upper end of the piston rod will be adjusted via an integrated adjustment wheel or a twist-adjustment wheel which is included in the delivery content.

By increasing the rebound force via the adjustment wheel body movements are reduced. You will have more stability during high speed cornering. If you change for example the wheel / tire combination (approved by the car manufacturer) to larger wheels, then with a KW coilover Variant 3 inox-line you will be able to adjust the car's handling perfectly.

High quality, individual and durable

The KW coilover Variant 3 inox-line kit and every single damper are subject to extensive quality tests during production to meet the high standards of our KW quality management. This is the only way we can meet our expectations to give up to five years warranty on our KW coilover Variant 3 inox-line when installed at one of our KW specialist dealer. KW coilover struts made of stainless steel are 100% rust-free and an unlimited life time.

Therefore the operation of the continuous lowering via the dirt-resistant KW trapezoid thread and the KW composite collar is also not affected after years. By the individual lowering with its continuous adjustment range, you can emphasize the sportiness of your vehicle visually. A feature that is very popular in the performance-oriented tuning scene.

  • Rebound and compression damping adjustable damper technology
  • Stainless steel technology inox-line
  • Individual, continuous lowering
  • Tested adjustment range
  • High quality components for a long life
  • Complete documentation for an easy handling
  • Adjustable rebound damping with 16 exact clicks
  • Adjustable compression damping with 12 exact clicks
  • Unique, independent from each other working damping force adjustment

Setup: The individual adjustable rebound- & compression damping of the KW Variant 3 inox-line

The KW coilover kit Variant 3 inox-line is the perfect accessory for performance-oriented drivers and tuning enthusiasts who put a great demand on their suspension. The separately rebound and compression damping adjustable dampers with their well-thought-through click adjustment allow a perfect setup. So it is easy to influence the steering behaviour, directional stability, tire grip and handling characteristics when driving on the limit.

          Love this protection plan
          Quick and easy. My daughter's cracked her screen on her phone, as soon as it happened I went on the app, filed the claim. Ten minutes later I received the email with the shipping lable. The following day I dropped the phone off at ups and 4 hours later I received the digital gift card. Ive filed several claims since getting the protection plan and with four kids its definitelysomething im glad to have especially since i dont have to buy a protectionplan for each item now. I have filed claims for electric scooter the stoped working for no reason, my son's phone stopped charging, my oldest daughter cracked her phone screen, my son's video game controllers up and died and each time it was quick and easy and no fuss

          If they can't fix it they will replace it.
          This protection plan that i pay monthly for paid for itself ten fold. My 3D printer just quit working and after the manufacturer warrenty had ran out at that. I submitted my claim they emailed me a shipping label in which I shipped out my printer that same day. Two days later they received my printer determined it couldc not be fixed and sent me a Amazon gift card for the full price of my printer. Today I will be receiving my new 3d printer thanks to Complete Protect. I highly recommend anyone and everyone to purchase this policy. This warrenty is like having a home warrenty like Homeshield but for your electronics and probably other stuff that i just have not read to see what else. This insurance will save me so much money over the corse of this year and every year after that. Thank you Complete Protect.

          Don't waste your money - these people will not help you
          On March 9th 2024, I purchased a MCombo Lift Chair costing $785. On the same day, through the same Amazon account (my PERSONAL account since I also have a business account), I purchased an Asurion Complete Protect policy at the cost of $16.99 per month plus taxes. About one month ago, a problem arose with the chair that required me to make a claim using the "Complete Protect" policy that I had purchased for that very item. The claim was initiated on January 1st, 2025 - On January 3rd, I received an email asking me for photographs showing the damage for which I was making a claim. I sent those photographs via email to the address provided on January 6th. On January 27th, having not received ANY response from Asurion, I contacted them via phone and was told that my purchase had been made with a business account, that it was being used for business purposes, and was therefore not covered. I assured the Asurion Representative that it was most certainly not a business use, and that the chair that I was claiming for had been purchased because I had extensive shoulder surgery done that made it impossible to get in and out of bed. After speaking (unsuccessfully) with the Asurion Rep, I then contacted Amazon Customer Service. I spoke with an Amazon Customer Service Representative on the phone who confirmed that I had in fact used my personal account to purchase the chair and the Asurion Complete Protect policy. That representative went on to send a message to Asurion on my behalf confirming that the purchase was for personal use and not business use. Asurion responded, asking me to call them with the order number for the Asurion purchase. The number I gave was the exact same order number on my order history, however, the Asurion Rep could not find it. I was finally able to discover that the order number in Asurion's system was entirely different and isn't even in the same format as an Amazon order number. Upon the Asurion representative finding my plan, she informed me that the chair was listed as being purchased for business use (despite Amazon confirming that it was NOT) but that I should give them "a couple of business days" to resolve the issue. Five business days later, still no response and so I called them again (Yesterday - February 1st 2025)... Lo and behold, I got the same crap yet again... the purchase was listed as business use and was therefore being denied, but she promised to remove the business use commentary and put the claim through again. Today, February 2nd, I called Amazon yet again to escalate and had to call THREE times because the first two calls resulted in me finally being connected to an Asurion representative (two different reps) and each time, the Asurion representative hung up the phone as soon as my name was mentioned. It has become clear to me that the Asurion "Complete Protect" policy is a SCAM - they will NOT take care of your issue, regardless of how long you've been paying. I have been paying every month since March 9th last year - so they've received over $170 from me thus far, with zero other claims, and if I am able to cancel right now, I will only receive $16.99 back. All I want, is the chair that I purchased the policy for coverage of, to be repaired or replaced. Asurion are NOT helping, and are actively avoiding contact. At this point, I am considering legal action against Asurion for fraud - perhaps even a Class Action. I'll wait and see if my issue gets resolved within the next 10 days or so.

          Glad to have Asurion Protection Plan!!! So easy to file a claim and get refunded!!!
          I bought my ongoing protection plan about six months ago and had not used it for anything. About the same time, I purchased a small fountain for our front porch. A few weeks ago, the pump stopped working and I did everything I could think of to fix the pump, first check to see if the electrical outlet it had been plugged into still worked and it did. I then poured out all the water, added fresh water, then opened the pump to wash it out and remove any debris it had inside. There was none, and of course by now, the manufacturer's return date ended about four months ago. I was very nervous to submit a claim -- I was afraid I would get rejected, that I would have to pack up and return, or that I would be given 20 questions or more and provide mountains of paperwork to submit the claim. But it was surprisingly simple and easy, the person from Asurion was friendly and did her job incredibly well, my claim was created in their system in less than five minutes and I received a total refund minus the tax (turns out online retailer is not allowed to refund the tax because it was already paid to local and state governments. The cost of the fountain minus the tax was still about $165, which allowed me to upgrade to a much better water pump that had a higher output and also has something called "Burn Protection," ie overheating if the water level gets too low or if the pump gets plugged with debris. The total cost of the new pump was about $25 and has all kinds of amazing features as compared to the small fountain that didn't even have burn protection. I installed the new pump and it's working far better than the one that came with the fountain. Bottom line: I am so glad that I purchased the monthly protection plan from Asurion, and told my family how please I had it. They previously told me it was a waste of money and time because they wouldn't honor the claim. but they did, and I am so elated!

          If you buy nice stuff frequently...it's worth it.
          I've had this coverage for about ten months now and so far, I can't complain. There were a couple times I thought about canceling my coverage, hadn'tt used it in a while...glad I didn't. I just managed to accidentally break $250 worth of earhooks/earbuds. If I didnt have this coverage I would be S.O.L.....All I have to do now is pack it up and send it off. If they can fix them, Great!(I use them 8hrs a day, 5 days a week) If not...they'll reimburse me. It's pretty hassle free. The fact that you can keep adding new purchases to the coverage without an increase in the monthly premium is what sucked me in. Sounds too good to be true but it is. I make sure I purchase all my electronics from amazon now....they got me good with this one. So far Asurion has credited the full price of 2 broken cell phones to my Amazon account and I have no doubt they'll do good by me with this latest claim. Piece of mind is a real thing. Thank you.
