KW V3's?
 
Hello everyone, newbie here with a question. I'm looking for KW V3's and I'm getting conflicting information on whether they make a set for the sedans. The part number is 35285007. Some are saying that it will fit out of the box and some say that it is for coupes only. Anyone know for sure? Thanks in advance for any help!:icon43:

Not sure why, but Sedans are often excluded from coilover applications, the coupe coilovers WILL fit the sedans though.

Thanks for the reply, blnewt. Do you know if they will fit the sedan without modifications?

Direct bolt on.

The major reason why most coupe coilovers do not mention sedan fitment is because of where the shock adjustment knob is located. Since the sedan has a "sealed" upper mount, you will not be able to easily adjust dampening unless you remove the damper from the car. Some inverted monotube coilovers have the knob on the bottom, and they will usually say it will fit both models...

Other than that, the suspension is interchangeable

Thanks for all the replies so far! How come I don't have a "thank" button? Is it because I'm still a newb?

Nice to know, learn something new around here all the time.
And DOHCtor, you do have a thanks button, it's the lower far right button.

That's only for the rear. The front damper adjustments are easy to reach but the front rebound setting are tough to get to. I love the v3 ride and the only complaint I have is the rear sits too low at the highest setting. KW does make an extension (initially for the Audi crowds' complaints) but will void your warranty if it blows the tube. I've "heard" some people have tried the Swift springs instead of the KWs with decent results
