Audi Q3 (8U) with coilover suspension
The Audi Q3 combines sporty design with everyday versatility - a compact SUV that has been on the market since 2011 and has made a name for itself, especially in the second generation (from 2018) with a modern interior, efficient drive and optional all-wheel drive. With its powerful appearance and raised seating position, it is just as impressive on the road as it is in everyday urban life. However, when it comes to driving dynamics in particular, there is still significant potential for improvement with a high-quality coilover suspension. Thanks to the infinitely variable lowering, the vehicle height of the Q3 can be individually adjusted - this not only improves the appearance, but also the driving behaviour noticeably. Compared to a classic sports suspension, a height-adjustable sports suspension offers significantly more flexibility, for example when changing from summer to winter tyres or with different loads. An example: While a sports suspension offers a fixed lowering, with a coilover suspension you can adjust the depth exactly to your needs - for a rich look and a more agile driving experience on the road. In the Audi Q3 in particular, the combination of a higher centre of gravity and firmer suspension provides more control in bends and more direct feedback when steering. In conjunction with lowering, the SUV becomes noticeably more dynamic without sacrificing suitability for everyday use - ideal for all those who want to get more out of their Q3.

Audi Q3 (8U) 8UB, 8UG with KW V1 coilover suspension
The KW V1 coilover suspension gives the Audi Q3 (8U) - built between 2011 and 2018 - a significantly sportier driving behaviour and a noticeably improved road holding. Thanks to the continuously adjustable lowering of 30-60 mm on the front axle and 40-70 mm on the rear axle, the vehicle height can be flexibly adapted to your personal preferences - regardless of whether you value a dynamic look or optimised driving performance. Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, the suspension impresses with its durability and resistance - ideal for year-round use. The KW V1 is specially designed for sporty, ambitious drivers who rely on a fixed damper set-up but still value precise handling and more driving pleasure. Especially in an SUV like the Q3, which comes with a higher body by default, the lowering ensures a significantly more direct steering feel and more stability in bends. Compared to classic sports suspensions, the KW V1 as a height-adjustable sports suspension offers a noticeable upgrade in terms of appearance and handling - without compromises in everyday life. KW relies on a vehicle-specific preconfigured damper setup that optimally matches the characteristics of the Q3.
Advantages of the KW V1 coilover suspension for the Audi Q3 (8U)
- High-quality stainless steel housing
- Stepless lowering up to 70 mm
- Sporty, pre-configured damper setup
- Improved vehicle control when cornering
- Perfect balance between everyday driving and dynamics

This high-quality, height-adjustable sports suspension made of stainless steel allows the front and rear axle to be lowered by 15 to 45 mm, giving the RSQ3 not only a sportier look, but also significantly more precise road holding.

The suspension also impresses with its plug-and-play compatibility for most vehicles without factory-fitted adaptive suspension. Especially for the RSQ3, which wants to be driven in a sporty way, the KW DDC ECU coilover suspension provides a good balance of sportiness, suitability for everyday use and flexibility - a real upgrade for performance enthusiasts.
