The kit has just arrived at the installers and will be getting fitted next week. has anyone got this setup up? And if so how low can you go without compromising the comfort?

What does this kit do different from the KW V3 again?

average joe

It has the DDC (Dynamic damping control) basically you can choose between 3 settings via a App on your mobile phone.

Oh yes you can control the suspension height via an app

average joe

You can only do the damping on this set up

I think they do a hydraulic lift version but its not available for our cars.....and its mega expensive

I don't think you can change ride height with your phone, only stiffness

Girard@ACGautomotive

Correct, this kit will only change the dampening settings remotely... We have done a custom HLS system on a C63 but I would never recommend doing it again.

OP what is going to be your tire and wheel set up with this suspension?

average joe

Standard 19" wheels with standard tyre size. As fitted by MB

Does the app only work on iphones? Mind letting us know what it set you back?

average joe

There is a Android App so not just I Phones.

I got a good deal (remember this is the UK) so all in was just shy of 3000 UK Pounds. Not sure what sort of price you would pay in the U.S

I have installed the DDC and was major different in between old suspension, also i have three setup comfort sport sport plus, comfort is way softer than the old suspension, sport you will get the factory stiffness, sport plus will be different story.

note since i installed it i never played with stiffness and sort of this staff. out of the box setup

There was a member with an Estate that had this with a VERY slick set up

You'll be able to lower the car the full inch and then some while still maintaining a more than decent ride quality on it's comfort setting.

Thanks for the help,
I wont go to low as in the UK we love to stick speed humps on most the roads, which makes it a nightmare worrying if your going to pull the exhaust off or scrape a spoiler!!!!!!!!!!!

So the Comfort Mode is much softer than the factory suspension?

Sport mode is about the same as factory, and sport plus is different... how?

How long have you had the setup? Do you like it?

bjonesmd

Are you saying that with the KW DDC you can lower the car an inch and get better than factory ride quality in comfort mode?

Is this with normal camber?

On 19's?

Does the V3 DDC come with the module that can communicate with the app or is it an extra cost?

average joe

Its extra cost 240 UK pounds (if i remember correctly)

alrasheed1991

Sport plus is really stiff

And it ben like 7 - 8 months i think and i really like it best thing i bought for this car

Comfor is much softer than factory suspension yes

And yes on sport mode like the factroy suspension
