KW V3's Installed - C63 S Coupe
Greetings!
I know most might be running the HAS for the C/W C63 S vehicles. This weekend I installed the full KW V3's on my car. I have to say that I am very impressed with the improvement of the quality of the ride. The car not only is smoother over the road but looks so much cleaner lowered. I am tossing the idea around of spacers but not sure yet. I do have a 295 tire mounted on rear. Feel free to ask questions. I attached pictures.

Interesting...does the full KW kit still have the option of all the different modes ie. comfort, sport, sport plus etc. and if so how does it compare to the OEM suspension system ?

The EDC lights no longer work with the V3's. You have an adjustment 1-5 on each of the coilovers for stiffness. I set everything at 3 and it's rides extremely smooth compared to stock.

Just to expand on that though, does it mean if you want to stiffen or soften the ride you need to lift the car and adjust the the dampers separately at each corner ?

My pleasure! MB's do not have strong enough shocks in the long run to support a HAS system. They will eventually blow out. Spend the money and do it the right way.

Being in the NYC/NJ area anything will ride harsh. My coupe is my daily driver so yes I would say to that. The KW's V3's aren't cheap but you get what you pay for.

Even if that is the case; it's ways away. I don't believe KW even offers that now for any vehicle.

A set of these designed for the C63 would be the ultimate!

KW have them for a few vehicles. They are called KW DCC. Here are some for a Golf R. https://modeautoconcepts.com/product...nt=17472183750

This would great if made for current AMG's as you then have the freedom to adjust from within the cabin just like stock OEM.
