What makes KW V3 suspension systems special?

Some may wonder why the prices of KW high-performance suspension systems are relatively high and if there are no alternatives available on the market, but there are a few that might be cheaper and offer more adjustable features.
However, most of us are not professional race car drivers and don't have the time to extensively tune suspension systems, so it's still recommended to opt for reputable suspension brands like KW Suspension, ST Suspension, Bilstein, etc.
These traditional manufacturers have extensive research and development data specific to vehicles, which directly address the damping needs of your car.

We have upgraded the KW V3 suspension system for the GLC-Class Coupe (C253) in my photos.
Apart from lowering the vehicle by approximately 20mm to 50mm at the front and 25mm to 55mm at the rear, the KW V3 allows for independent adjustment of the compression damping in 12 clicks and rebound damping in 16 clicks.
After extensive precision testing, KW has determined the most suitable suspension settings for the GLC series to be 6 clicks of rebound and 4 clicks of bump for the front, and 9 clicks of rebound and 6 clicks of bump for the rear.
These settings are meant to optimize handling performance and damping effect, as specified by the manufacturer, and, if there's someone who knows what they're looking for in their ride, they can be further tuned to individual liking.
