C63/C63S KW Suspension V3+ Coilover | ACG Automotive

First set in the US being installed this Friday for debut at SoCal Euro this Sunday.

Will be great to see our project C63S lowered properly on a new set of HRE RS Series wheels.

Many more pics to come






Interested members let me know if you would like pricing on these, we are an authorized KW Dealer and Preferred installer.

It doesn't--- probably has a defeat module after removal to avoid an error code. I honestly think for the street, the HAS set up is strong. I did that on my GTS but then again, the GTS gets the magnetic shock set and I would never eliminate those.

That is correct. Is your HAS also by KW?

Bingo, Vic nailed it. The 4 black modules shown are EDC delete units so these will no longer function with the factory controls.

We will have KW's Sleeve kit available as an option for those who want to utilize the factory struts with an adjustable KW perch/coil option in a week or two.

Front looks tucked in. But I like the overall stance of the car. I do not like the wrap...

Wheelset is actually from his old W204 C63 as the HRE's we ordered originally did not accommodate the rear 295 R888.

Fronts are a 19x8.5 ET40 and the Rear wheels are a 19x9.5 ET55 I believe.

New set I believe is going to be something around a 19x9 ET30 in the front and a 19x10 ET58.... We'll have to see when they are finally completed.

Thanks for all the kind words and feed back guys.

I do have another set of V3's in stock if anyone is interested.

Porsche guy who drives SL63 w/ perf pkg AND perf suspension
do these 63s cars have any sort of air suspension, or do the shocks have a hardness setting, I see the features say some kind of dynamic select

Yes, they come with controllable, customizable electronic dampening struts.

KW's coilovers will delete this feature but include modules to negate any faults.
