KW Coilover suspension V3 Clubsport incl. top mounts - BMW 1 Series E81 / E82 / E87

KW V3 Clubsport Coilovers incl. Top Mounts – BMW 1 Series E82

Upgrade your BMW 1 Series E82 with KW V3 Clubsport Coilovers, developed for drivers who want a significantly more track-focused suspension setup while retaining road capability.

Previously known as the KW Clubsport 2-way, the V3 Clubsport combines independently adjustable rebound and compression damping with high-performance race springs, INOX-LINE stainless-steel construction and aluminium Uniball top mounts for additional geometry adjustment.

KW part number:

35220839

Developed for Road & Track Use

KW positions the V3 Clubsport as its entry-level Clubsport suspension for cars that see both road and circuit use.

It is particularly suited to:

• Track days
• Clubsport builds
• Fast-road driving
• Performance-focused road cars
• Higher-grip tyre setups
• Drivers wanting detailed suspension tuning
• Cars requiring additional front camber adjustment

Compared with the standard KW V3, the Clubsport version places greater emphasis on circuit performance through more focused spring rates, top mounts and track-orientated calibration.

Independently Adjustable Rebound & Compression

The KW V3 Clubsport allows rebound and compression damping to be adjusted independently.

KW specifies:

• 16-click rebound adjustment
• 12-click compression adjustment

This provides significantly more control over suspension behaviour than a fixed or single-adjustable setup.

Rebound Adjustment

Rebound damping can be used to fine-tune:

• Body control
• Steering response
• Weight transfer
• Cornering balance
• Ride characteristics

Changing rebound allows the suspension response to be tailored around tyre choice, circuit conditions and driver preference.

Compression Adjustment

Compression damping influences how strongly the suspension resists being compressed.

It can be used to fine-tune:

• Brake dive
• Squat under acceleration
• Body support
• Cornering stability
• Chassis response under load

Because rebound and compression can be adjusted independently, the V3 Clubsport provides considerably greater setup flexibility than the KW V2 or standard V3 used with a more road-biased configuration.

Aluminium Uniball Top Mounts

The V3 Clubsport includes aluminium Uniball top mounts.

Depending on the vehicle application, these allow camber adjustment and provide a more direct connection between the suspension and chassis.

Potential benefits include:

• Greater front camber adjustment
• Improved geometry flexibility
• More direct steering response
• Better tyre contact during hard cornering
• Greater suitability for track-focused alignment settings

The exact available adjustment depends on the vehicle and installation.

Adjustable Ride Height

For the E82 application, published data lists an approximate adjustment range of:

• Front: 35–65mm lowering
• Rear: 35–55mm lowering

Ride height can therefore be set around:

• Vehicle stance
• Wheel and tyre clearance
• Centre of gravity
• Suspension travel
• Track or road requirements

The kit should always be adjusted within the limits stated in the supplied KW documentation.

KW INOX-LINE Stainless Steel

The V3 Clubsport uses KW’s INOX-LINE stainless-steel construction.

Key features include:

• Stainless-steel strut housings
• Corrosion-resistant construction
• Height-adjustable suspension
• High-performance linear race springs
• Independent rebound adjustment
• Independent compression adjustment
• Aluminium Uniball top mounts

KW uses stainless steel to provide long-term corrosion resistance and preserve the functionality of the threaded ride-height adjustment system.

High-Performance Race Springs

The V3 Clubsport uses linear race springs rather than a softer road-biased spring package.

This makes the system better suited to:

• Repeated circuit use
• Higher lateral loads
• Semi-slick and high-grip tyres
• Aggressive geometry
• More focused chassis setups

This also means ride comfort will generally be firmer than a conventional KW road coilover such as the V1, V2 or V3.

Compatibility – Please Check Carefully

KW part number 35220839 should not be treated as a general E81 / E82 / E87 kit.

KW’s own published part-number documentation identifies 35220839 as a BMW 1 Series V3 Clubsport application associated with the E82 family, while current specialist fitment data specifically lists:

• BMW E82 128i Coupe
• BMW E82 135i Coupe
• BMW E88 128i Convertible
• BMW E88 135i Convertible

Because this product page is intended for the E82 application, exact vehicle compatibility should be confirmed before ordering.

I would not list E81 or E87 compatibility against this part number without additional manufacturer or supplier confirmation.

Important Fitment Notes

Wheel spacers may be required depending on wheel width and offset to provide sufficient clearance between the wheel and suspension components.

Before ordering, please confirm:

• Exact chassis
• Engine variant
• Production year
• Wheel and tyre specification
• Intended road or track use
• Required camber range

If you're unsure whether KW 35220839 is correct for your BMW, contact The Rosso Corsa Collective with your registration or vehicle details and we can help confirm fitment.

KW V3 vs V3 Clubsport

KW V3:

• Adjustable ride height
• Independent rebound adjustment
• Independent compression adjustment
• Road-performance focused spring and damper setup
• INOX-LINE stainless steel

KW V3 Clubsport:

• Adjustable ride height
• Independent rebound adjustment
• Independent compression adjustment
• More track-focused calibration
• High-performance linear race springs
• Aluminium Uniball top mounts
• Camber adjustment where applicable
• INOX-LINE stainless steel

The V3 Clubsport is therefore intended for drivers who want the adjustability of the V3 with a more circuit-focused spring, geometry and top mount package.

Product Image & Configuration Note

Product images are generic and are intended for illustration purposes only.

The exact components supplied can vary depending on vehicle application, including:

• Top mount design
• Camber adjustment
• Spring configuration
• Damper layout
• Rear height-adjustment components
• Mounting hardware

If you have specific requirements or want confirmation of the exact supplied configuration, please contact The Rosso Corsa Collective before ordering.

Professional Installation Recommended

Professional installation is recommended.

Following installation, the vehicle should receive a full wheel alignment and geometry setup.

Because the V3 Clubsport provides adjustable damping and geometry, the car should ideally be set up around its intended tyre, ride height and road or track use.
