Mustang Mach-E Suspension: Control Instead of Body Sway
The Ford Mustang Mach-E AWD and GT (LSK/CGW) show their composed side by staying calm even on rough pavement. However, especially after hitting bumps, the body continues to move longer than you’d like on country roads or the highway—particularly in older models. This is exactly where there’s potential for a coilover suspension that connects the Mach-E more closely to the road without making the damping unnecessarily stiff. The finely adjustable setup of the KW V3 and a harmonious, sporty lowering bring more stability to the car and give you clearer feedback when turning.
The Big Suspension Comparison
Series
With MacPherson struts on the front axle, a multi-link rear suspension, and a battery positioned deep within the vehicle floor, the Ford Mustang Mach-E places high demands on the suspension geometry. Older Mach-E models, in particular, can exhibit lingering oscillations and pronounced vertical movements over bumps, bridge crossings, and rough roads. Minor bumps are sometimes transmitted rather harshly to the vehicle’s occupants. A tunable suspension upgrade provides more precise control over body roll, ride height, and handling.
KW V3 for the Mustang Mach-E
The KW V3 coilover suspension addresses body roll, vertical movement, and the desire for a sportier look on the road. To achieve greater body control, more precise steering response, or intentionally more ride comfort, you can adjust the rebound damping in 16 clicks and the low-speed compression damping in 12 clicks. The KW V3 lowers the Ford Mustang Mach-E by 25 to 45 mm in the front and 20 to 40 mm in the rear. Suitable for AWD and GT drivers starting with the 2020 model year. For models equipped with MagneRide, a KW cancellation kit is included in the package.
Check MagneRide Before Installation
Not every Ford Mustang Mach-E GT model is equipped with MagneRide. However, if the adaptive damping system is present, it must be deactivated using the KW cancellation kit when installing the KW V3. Therefore, check your Mach-E’s actual equipment before proceeding with the configuration. This ensures that you know right from the start which components are needed for a proper conversion. The deactivation can be reversed at any time.
Product Overview
Technology Highlights
Customized lowering
This coilover suspension offers maximum possible lowering, customized to your vehicle model. You can also change this at any time after installation.
Adjustable rebound (low-speed)
You'll notice the difference with every click! Here, you can adjust the low-speed rebound with 16 clicks. This adjusts the ride characteristics, making them either harder or more comfortable.
Adjustable compression damping (low-speed)
You can fine-tune the low-speed compression damping even after installation. The vehicle's handling and stability will benefit from 12 clicks.
Composite spring disc
The height-adjustable KW spring plate is made from a resistant and friction-optimized polyamide composite material with a stainless steel insert. In contrast to anodized aluminum adjustable spring plates, the polyamide composite material prevents possible oxidation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Mustang Mach-E with the KW V3 still suitable for everyday use?
The KW V3 coilover suspension is designed for road driving, city traffic, highways, and long-distance travel, combining performance with a comfortable ride. The setup is key: You can independently adjust the rebound and compression damping to perfectly tailor your Mach-E to your everyday needs.
How low can the Ford Mustang Mach-E go with the KW V3?
For the Ford Mustang Mach-E, the customizable lowering range is 25 to 45 mm on the front axle and 20 to 40 mm on the rear axle. This allows you to adjust the vehicle’s height within the tested range to suit your desired look and practical needs. You can change the lowering setting at any time.
For which Ford Mustang Mach-E models is the KW V3 suspension system designed?
This offer applies to all Mach-E all-wheel-drive models from 2020 onward. The KW V3 coilover suspension is available for EV 4x4 models with 190, 198, 216, 232, 248, 258, 273, 290, 303, or 342 kW, as well as EV GT 4x4 models with 358, 434, or 442 kW. Additionally, the permissible axle loads of the specific vehicle must fall within the approved range. You can easily check in the store whether the V3 is available for your model.
Can the KW V3 reduce the Mustang Mach-E's body roll?
Yes, the KW V3 allows for precise adjustment of damping during the compression and rebound of the piston rod. You can use the rebound damping to control body roll, while the compression damping—which operates independently—determines how the car is supported over uneven surfaces. This provides the technical flexibility needed to control oscillations for example, when driving over bumps and bridge abutments.
