KW Coilover suspension V4 Clubsport incl. top mounts - BMW 3 Series E92 M3 (For cars with EDC)

KW V4 Coilovers with Top Mounts – BMW E92 M3 with EDC

The KW V4 Coilovers with Top Mounts for the BMW E92 M3 with factory Electronic Damper Control are an advanced suspension upgrade for drivers looking for extensive damping adjustment, improved chassis control and additional front-end geometry potential.

Featuring independently adjustable rebound, low-speed compression and high-speed compression damping, the KW V4 provides significantly greater tuning capability than a conventional 1-way or 2-way coilover system.

Combined with performance-focused top mounts and KW’s premium suspension technology, the V4 is particularly well suited to highly developed fast-road and track-focused E92 M3 builds where detailed chassis setup is a priority.

Why choose KW V4 for your BMW E92 M3?

The E92 M3 already offers an excellent chassis, but its performance potential increases substantially when tyre grip, braking capability and suspension geometry are developed beyond standard.

The KW V4 allows experienced drivers and suspension specialists to fine-tune individual aspects of damper behaviour rather than relying on a single broad adjustment.

Its 3-way damping system separates compression damping into low-speed and high-speed circuits while also providing independent rebound adjustment.

This allows body movement, weight transfer and sharper suspension inputs to be controlled separately.

Key Features

• KW V4 coilover suspension
• BMW E92 M3 application
• Designed for applicable cars with factory EDC
• Top mounts included
• Adjustable ride height
• 3-way adjustable damping
• 16-click rebound adjustment
• 6-click low-speed compression adjustment
• 14-click high-speed compression adjustment
• Independent damping control

KW specifies 16 rebound positions, 6 low-speed compression positions and 14 high-speed compression positions for its current V4 3-way damping technology.

3-Way Adjustable Damping

The defining feature of the KW V4 is its 3-way damping adjustment.

The driver can independently tune:

• Rebound damping
• Low-speed compression damping
• High-speed compression damping

This gives considerably more control than the 2-way arrangement used on systems where compression is adjusted as a single circuit.

For a modified E92 M3, this makes it possible to refine specific areas of chassis behaviour around tyre choice, geometry, vehicle weight and driving conditions.

16-Click Rebound Adjustment

Rebound damping controls how quickly the suspension extends after being compressed.

The V4 provides 16 adjustment positions, allowing the suspension response to be fine-tuned after installation.

Increasing rebound can provide stronger body control and a more settled response through directional changes.

Reducing rebound allows the suspension to extend more freely and can improve compliance where road or circuit surfaces are uneven.

Correct rebound setup should always be considered alongside spring rates, compression settings and tyre grip.

6-Click Low-Speed Compression Adjustment

Low-speed compression relates to slower damper movements generated mainly by chassis movement rather than the speed of the vehicle itself.

These movements include:

• Body roll during cornering
• Brake dive
• Pitch under acceleration
• Weight transfer
• Chassis movement during direction changes

The KW V4 provides six low-speed compression adjustment positions.

This allows body control to be increased or reduced without necessarily making the suspension excessively restrictive over sharper bumps.

14-Click High-Speed Compression Adjustment

High-speed compression relates to faster damper movement created by sharper suspension inputs.

Examples include:

• Kerbs
• Potholes
• Surface imperfections
• Expansion joints
• Sudden road or circuit changes

The KW V4 provides 14 high-speed compression adjustment positions.

Being able to adjust this separately from low-speed compression allows the suspension to maintain strong chassis control while still responding effectively to sharper inputs.

Top Mounts Included

This version of the KW V4 is supplied with performance-focused top mounts for the applicable axle.

Upgraded top mounts can provide a more direct connection between the suspension and chassis while also offering additional geometry adjustment depending on the exact application.

Where camber adjustment is available, additional negative camber can help maintain a more favourable tyre contact patch during hard cornering.

Benefits can include:

• Improved front-end grip
• Sharper turn-in
• Increased tyre utilisation
• Greater geometry flexibility
• More scope for track-focused alignment

A full geometry setup is strongly recommended after installation.

Designed for EDC-Equipped Cars

This application is intended for BMW E92 M3 models equipped with factory Electronic Damper Control.

The original electronically controlled dampers are removed when the KW V4 is installed.

Because the factory EDC system can no longer control the replacement dampers, the electronic damper control must be disabled using the appropriate KW cancellation solution or equivalent compatible system.

Once converted, damping adjustment is carried out manually using the KW V4 adjusters rather than through the original BMW EDC controls.

Electronic Damper Deactivation

Cars fitted with factory EDC require the original damper control system to be correctly deactivated after the electronic dampers are removed.

Depending on the exact product package, the cancellation components may be supplied separately rather than being included with the suspension kit itself.

Please check the exact product specification before ordering.

The cancellation system does not turn the V4 into an electronically adjustable coilover; the new suspension remains manually adjustable.

Adjustable Ride Height

The KW V4 provides adjustable front and rear ride height within the approved range for the specific E92 M3 application.

This allows owners to tailor:

• Front-to-rear stance
• Arch gap
• Centre of gravity
• Wheel and tyre fitment
• Chassis balance

For performance-focused builds, ride height should be selected around suspension travel and geometry rather than appearance alone.

Excessive lowering can reduce usable damper travel and negatively affect suspension behaviour.

KW INOX-LINE Construction

KW uses corrosion-resistant stainless-steel technology across many of its premium coilover applications.

The INOX-LINE design helps protect the threaded adjustment areas against corrosion and makes long-term ride-height adjustment easier when the suspension is correctly maintained.

This is especially valuable on cars that continue to see regular UK road use throughout the year.

BMW E92 M3 Suspension Upgrade

The E92 M3 responds extremely well to a complete chassis approach.

The KW V4 can work alongside upgrades such as:

• Performance or semi-slick tyres
• Adjustable suspension arms
• Uprated suspension bushes
• Upgraded anti-roll bars
• Lightweight wheels
• Performance braking systems
• Chassis bracing
• Track-focused alignment

As tyre grip and braking capability increase, detailed control over damping becomes increasingly valuable.

KW V3 vs KW V4

The KW V3 provides independently adjustable compression and rebound damping.

The V4 adds another level of control by separating compression into low-speed and high-speed adjustment.

This allows body movement to be adjusted separately from sharper bump response.

For predominantly road-driven cars, the V3 offers an excellent balance between performance and simplicity.

For more advanced chassis development and drivers wanting significantly greater tuning control, the V4 provides a much larger adjustment window.

KW V4 vs KW V3 Clubsport

The V3 Clubsport is designed with a much stronger focus on track use than the standard KW V3.

It combines independent compression and rebound adjustment with performance springs and adjustable top mounts.

The V4 offers more advanced 3-way damping adjustment, allowing high-speed and low-speed compression to be tuned separately.

Choosing between them should therefore depend on the exact kit specification and whether your priority is advanced damping control, dedicated track tuning or a broader fast-road setup.

KW V4 vs KW V4 Clubsport

The standard V4 and V4 Clubsport share advanced 3-way damping technology, but their intended use differs.

The standard V4 is positioned more towards high-performance road and fast-road applications.

The V4 Clubsport uses a more track-focused overall setup, including Clubsport-specific springs, geometry hardware and suspension calibration.

For road-driven cars that occasionally see circuit use, the standard V4 may be more suitable.

For regular track days and high-grip tyre setups, the V4 Clubsport is the more specialised option.

Road, Fast-Road & Track Use

The KW V4 is particularly well suited to:

• Highly developed E92 M3 road builds
• Fast-road cars
• Vehicles running performance tyres
• Cars with upgraded geometry
• Owners wanting advanced damping control
• Weekend performance builds
• Cars seeing occasional or regular circuit use

Because of the number of available adjustments, professional setup becomes increasingly important.

Professional Installation, Geometry & Corner Weighting

Professional installation is strongly recommended for the KW V4.

After installation, the vehicle should receive a full four-wheel alignment so that camber, toe and other geometry settings can be configured around the new ride height.

Where adjustable top mounts are supplied, these should be set by an experienced suspension specialist.

For more track-focused E92 M3 builds, corner weighting may also be worthwhile.

Damping adjustments should ideally be made one change at a time and recorded so that the effect on the car can be properly evaluated.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance is important on any advanced coilover system.

The following areas should be periodically cleaned and inspected:

• Threaded height-adjustment sections
• Spring platforms
• Rebound adjusters
• Low-speed compression adjusters
• High-speed compression adjusters
• Top mounts
• EDC cancellation components

Cars exposed to road salt, water or frequent track debris should be inspected more regularly.
