KW V3 Coilovers now available for Performance AWD
- Thread starter jnericks
- Start date
The MPP coilover kit has stainless steel Forks in front in the all-wheel drive kit compared to these painted and presumably regular steel front forks, and I suspect it's probably slightly different in the tuning of the shock and spring rates but I don't know that for a fact. But for me the stainless steel front forks make it a no-brainer.

I just bought one for my TESLA model 3 rear wheel long range for less than $2000 at tire rack last weekend. I went with KW becsuse of the price. Call tire rack and if they say it’s 2500 tell them it was on sale and refer to the date of my invoice dated 9-15-2018. No offense to MMP.

how do you order it? I don't see the coilerover on the tirerack website. I have an AWD model 3.
Finally we have actual pictures for the KW Variant 3 for M3 RWD long range. I also included some installation pictures from the manual.

I used a reputable tuner shop to install MPP Sports. The installation process was not 100% trouble free. Nothing big but I'll report after everything is resolved. The kit felt great in terms of driving feel. I am investigating the source of changes in the feel, though.
The installer now has installed a few MPP Sports and a couple of KW on Model 3s. They commented that KW had all different parts and that from their POV was better quality and easier to install. They offer KW with installation and guarantee their work so there could be some bias but not too likely as the shop is very reputable.
As for the cost, I have spent 50% of MPP Sport price on initial install and a follow-up resetting the height and final alignment. I will need to pay by hour for investigations. In retrospect, I wish I got a kit with the installation so all investigations were included into initial price. Admittedly, best shops are expensive where I live.

I also had an expensive and "reputable" shop install my MPP coilovers, and they also got it wrong. However, I reviewed and mocked up the install myself beforehand and I still can not figure out how they flubbed it. I think it was a reading comprehension issue... No worries, now I take my car 40 minutes away to an actual reputable shop that's worth the price and driving time.
Please elaborate on what issues you're experiencing.
I have my ride height at the top of the range at 145mm and the suspension feel subtly changes after a couple of weeks of use after setting the height as if the suspension settles somehow. Investigating why. Clearance measurements are tricky as I have swapped summers to winters (performance ones, though) and they have a bit softer sidewall. My car is significantly lower than I wanted and one corner got lower.
There was another minor issue which I would rather report later on.
What is this reputable shop you speak of? I bought the MPP sport coilovers recently and need a good spot near SD
