The V1, V2, and V3 kits referenced throughout this page are the abbreviated names customers use most often — KW catalogs them as KW V1 (Variant 1), KW V2 (Variant 2), and KW V3 (Variant 3), with each step up adding adjustment range.

Why Audi Drivers Choose KW

Audi platforms reward chassis-specific suspension engineering. The combination of Quattro AWD architecture, MLB platform sharing across the VW Group, and the specific damping calibration Audi applies to S-line and RS variants makes these platforms particularly responsive to high-quality aftermarket coilovers. KW's German manufacturing tolerances and TÜV-certified construction approach deliver the engineering credibility Audi owners expect when upgrading factory suspension.

The customers who buy KW for Audi from us share a common profile. They drive S3, S4, RS3, RS4, or premium Audi platforms where stock suspension is already very good and the upgrade has to improve on it without giving up the daily-driver compliance. They want German engineering pedigree, TÜV certification, and a clear product ladder from V1 through V3 and KW Clubsport coilovers. KW delivers all three for Audi owners.

KW Audi Coverage by Chassis

KW for Audi A3 and S3

The A3 and S3 across multiple generations are well-covered. 8P, 8V, and current 8Y chassis. S3 with Quattro AWD has dedicated fitments. Variant 1, Variant 2, and Variant 3 options are available on most A3/S3 chassis. The S3 is one of the highest-volume Audi KW platforms in our customer base because the chassis sits in the price-to-performance sweet spot where KW's upgrade delivers measurable difference.

KW for Audi A4, S4, and RS4

A4 coverage spans B5, B6, B7, B8, B8.5, B9, and current B9 generations. S4 with Quattro AWD has dedicated fitments across the chassis range. RS4 (B7 V8, B8 V8, B9 V6 Twin Turbo) has dedicated higher-tier fitments including Variant 3 and Clubsport configurations. The A4/S4/RS4 platform is one of the deepest Audi catalog groups for KW.

KW for Audi A5, S5, and RS5

A5 Coupe, Cabriolet, and Sportback variants. S5 with Quattro AWD. RS5 (B8 V8 and B9 V6 Twin Turbo) covered with dedicated track-focused fitments. The B9 RS5 has Variant 3 and Clubsport options for owners running track time on the platform.

KW for Audi A6, A7, A8, and S Variants

A6 across multiple generations including S6 and RS6. A7 including S7 and RS7. A8 luxury sedan applications. The RS6 and RS7 platforms see strong KW attach because the chassis behavior rewards aftermarket damping that improves on the already-excellent factory tune.

KW for Audi TT and R8

TT, TT-S, and TT-RS across multiple generations are covered. The R8 supercar (Type 42 and Type 4S) has dedicated KW fitments engineered specifically for the platform. The R8 fitments include Clubsport options for owners running track time on the platform.

KW for Audi Q-Series SUVs

Q3, Q5, SQ5, Q7, and Q8 platforms where KW applications are offered. Q5/SQ5 has the deepest Q-Series coverage. Q7 and Q8 with factory air suspension may require platform-specific consideration — call us before ordering for air-suspension-equipped Q-Series builds.

Choosing the Right KW Variant for Your Audi

Most Audi builds fall into one of three use-case categories.

Street-driven A3, A4, A5, A6, or daily-driver Audi: Variant 1 is the right pick. Fixed factory-engineered damping with no adjustment dials, ride-height adjustability, and OEM-grade KW construction. The V1 is the volume-seller daily-driver kit.

Spirited driving S3, S4, S5, or RS variants: Variant 2 adds 12-click rebound damping adjustment. Variant 3 adds independent rebound and compression for full tuning headroom. Most S-line and RS Audi owners running canyon and track-day duty land on V3.

Track-focused RS4, RS5, RS6, RS7, R8, or dedicated competition build: Variant 3 is the volume-seller track kit on RS platforms. Clubsport is the upgrade for serious motorsport use with higher spring rates, rod-end top mounts, and the racing-derived calibration KW develops for circuit applications.

KW Street Comfort coilovers are KW's comfort-focused tier for daily-driven applications where ride quality is the priority. The Street Comfort series sits between V1 and V2 in damping characteristics with calibration tuned for road compliance. Available on supported chassis — call us at 1-800-460-9106 for Street Comfort fitment and pricing.

KW DDC (Dynamic Damping Control) is KW's electronically adjustable damping line. DDC kits add app-controlled or in-cabin adjustable damping to the threaded ride-height platform — particularly suited to dual-purpose street and track builds on supported chassis. Call us at 1-800-460-9106 for DDC availability and chassis-specific options.

Audi Electronic Damping and Air Suspension Considerations

Audis with factory Magnetic Ride (Audi Magnetic Ride or DRC) require platform-specific consideration when fitting KW coilovers. Some KW fitments include Magnetic Ride cancellation modules. Other fitments integrate with the factory ECU. Each fitment page notes the requirements for that specific Audi chassis.

A6, A7, A8, Q7, and Q8 platforms with factory air suspension are typically not direct-fit KW applications — the chassis architecture requires different engineering. For air-suspension Audis, call us at 1-800-460-9106 to discuss alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will KW fit my Audi?

KW covers most Audi chassis from 8P A3 forward. Use the make-and-model filter on the product grid below to confirm fitment for your specific year and chassis. If your year is not listed but the chassis generation is covered, call us at 1-800-460-9106.

Do KW coilovers work with Audi Magnetic Ride?

Some KW Audi fitments work with the factory Magnetic Ride electronic damping. Others require cancellation modules. Each fitment page notes the requirements. Call us before ordering if your Audi has Magnetic Ride or DRC.

What's the best KW kit for an RS4 or RS5?

The Variant 3 is the most-installed RS4 and RS5 kit in our catalog. The independent rebound and compression adjustment lets the driver tune the RS chassis for street, canyon, and track use. For dedicated track-focused RS builds, Clubsport is the upgrade.

Are KW coilovers good for the R8?

Yes. The R8 has dedicated KW fitments including Clubsport options for track-focused builds. The R8's premium chassis behavior rewards KW's German engineering and OEM-grade construction.

Can I run KW on my Audi with air suspension?

Most air-suspension Audis (A6, A7, A8, Q7, Q8 with air spring) are not direct-fit KW applications. The chassis architecture requires different engineering than threaded coilovers can deliver. Call us at 1-800-460-9106 to discuss alternatives for air-suspension Audis.

Do I need an alignment after installing KW on my Audi?

Yes. After installing any coilover kit, a four-wheel alignment is essential. Audi Quattro AWD platforms are particularly sensitive to alignment after ride-height changes. Plan the alignment as part of the install job.
