KW V3 Suspension noise

My27KGame · 05-15-2017, 10:01 PM

I've had the V3's on my car for about 6 months, they are great, easily adjustable, and awesome for auto cross. The seem to be a bit noisy though. does any one else have this problem. Sound like when I hit a bump that they are excessively noisy. I thought it was the sway bar, but I have checked it.

Just wondering if this is common or not.

Are you hearing damper noise or clunks?

Yep! That is common on the KW's, you really hear it over speed bumps at slow speeds.

Have had KW V3 for about a year on my 1 series...that woosh noise happens to me too...just comes with the territory.

That sound is common for gas charged shocks.
