Improve driving dynamics and lowering in your Tesla Model 3 and Model Y with KW products
When you think of electric cars, you think of Tesla. The Californian car manufacturer specialises in the production of electric vehicles. With the Model Y and Model 3, CEO Elon Musk and his team brought electric vehicles onto the market that are suitable for everyday use and look stylish.
KW Suspensions develops the perfect suspension solution for electric vehicles. Because electrically powered vehicles also benefit from a KW driving dynamics upgrade. Regardless of whether you prefer a sporty, firm or comfortable ride. In addition to our popular KW V3 coilover suspension, we offer the entry-level product KW V1 and the comfortable, height-adjustable KW V3 Leveling suspension. The products are suitable for Tesla models with rear axle drive and all-wheel drive (Model Y, Type 005 included). Each suspension comes with adjustment instructions and a parts certificate.
Production vs. KW
Problems with the series version
Impressive driving performance and a sporty driving experience - these are the Model 3 and Model Y models from Tesla. Both vehicles are delivered from the factory with low ground clearance and a tightly tuned suspension. This can make driving on poorly constructed roads a real test of nerves. The steering is also described as nervous, which is why it requires repeated steering corrections.
Function & quality from KW
Ideal for all those who want even more ride height despite low ground clearance ex works. The KW V1's damper characteristics are based on the basic set-up of the KW V3 coilover suspension but cannot be adjusted by the driver. The KW V1 coilover suspension is a solid choice for price-conscious drivers.

Technology Highlights
Individual lowering
This coilover suspension offers you the maximum technically possible lowering - individually adapted to your vehicle model. Can also be changed at any time after installation.
Adjustable rebound (Lowspeed)
You'll feel the difference with every click! Here you can adjust the rebound (low speed) with a total of 16 clicks. This makes the riding characteristics either harder or more comfortable.
Adjustable compression (Lowspeed)
Fine-tune the compression damping (low speed) even after installation. Vehicle handling and stability benefit from 12 clicks.
Composite spring seat
The height-adjustable KW spring plate is made of a resistant and friction-optimized polyamide composite material with a stainless steel insert. In contrast to anodized aluminum adjustable spring plates, the polyamide composite prevents possible oxidation.

Greater range thanks to lower ground clearance
The electric mobility specialist Nextmove from Germany showed that the Tesla Model 3 with rear-wheel drive and a KW coilover suspension achieves a range increase of approx. 7%. This advantage results from improved aerodynamics thanks to stepless lowering, less rolling resistance, and avoiding excessive movements such as pitching and rolling – all caused by using a KW coilover kit.
High-quality workmanship for a long service life
A KW coilover suspension offers long-lasting driving pleasure and reliability in every corner. The stainless-steel alloy struts (inox-line) are particularly resistant to moisture, cold, and dirt. The suspension remains durable and flexible - so you can easily adjust the lowering of your KW coilover suspension at any time.
Tesla Model 3 as a racing car
Equipped with KW V4 Racing suspension, Daijiro Yoshihara's modified Tesla Model 3 competed in the Pikes Peak hill climb in Colorado (USA). Under difficult conditions, the Japanese racing driver achieved a time of 11:06.205 minutes with his Tesla and thus became the fastest electric car at the Pikes Peak International Hillclimb 2022. In the overall classification, it was enough for 9th place.
Optional top mounts available
If you are bothered by creaking series top mounts in the Tesla, you can alternatively retrofit our support bearings. We build these with a rubber-metal guide element. The KW rubber mount responds more sensitively to steering movements and all other impulses from the driver. In contrast to the Tesla series dome mount, the force increase of the KW rubber mount is designed to be progressive.
