This is a special order kit. Delivery time can be 3-8 weeks.
Fits A8 and S8. Fits 2wd and Quattro models. Fits all engines.
See fitment guide below for all applications and exact lowering ranges.
This is KW's entry level coilover option, but don't mistake it for a generic, mass produced kit that isn't designed and engineered just for your vehicle.
With an average 30-70mm (1.2-2.7 Inches) of lowering range, KW's V1 kits have preconfigured shock damping and spring rates for each application, giving a perfect balance between comfort and improved suspension performance.
Stainless steel shock bodies and powder coated coil springs ensure a lifetime of dependable, corrosion-resistant service.
Dirt repelling, friction optimized trapezoidal shock body threads make height adjustments simple by requiring less force, even after years of use.
Enjoy a big improvement in handling and a lower stance you'll love with the affordable V1 coilover kit from KW.
KW is the gold standard in performance coilovers.
Images shown are examples only and may not be the exact kit for your vehicle.
The best coilovers for Audi A8 and S8 are at MGC suspensions.
Also available: Audi A8 Quattro lowering springs by Eibach. A great way to get a beautiful lowered stance and improve handling.
