Smart Suspension by KW: Experience Enhanced Driving Dynamics with the KW V3



For the latest Smart model #1 (NX 11), we offer the KW V3 coilovers. The Smart 1 suspension from KW excels with its sporty damping setup while maintaining enough residual comfort. The Smart #1 coilovers successfully merge a pleasant driving experience with adequate body control. The sibling model, the Smart #3 HC 11, can also be fitted with the KW V3 coilover suspension.





Lowering the Smart #1: Various Height Adjustment Options

Take advantage of the lowering options with the KW V3 coilovers. If you want to lower the Smart #1, you have a range of 35 to 50 millimetres at the front axle. At the rear axle, it's 35 to 55 millimetres. By lowering your vehicle, you reduce its centre of gravity, improving road grip and enhancing driving dynamics.



Adjusting the Smart 1 NX 11 Suspension for Perfect Damping in Your Smart

The KW V3 coilovers for Smart offer numerous dynamic advantages. With our KW V3 suspension, you achieve a generally sporty damping setup in your Smart #1.

  • ✓ Significantly improved wheel clearance
  • ✓ Much better noise level
  • ✓ More precise handling
  • ✓ More driving comfort



The Smart #1 coilovers from KW Suspensions allow independent adjustment of compression and rebound with up to 16 clicks. With each click, you noticeably adjust the damping. If you are ever dissatisfied with the damping setup you have set, you can quickly reset to the baseline setup using the included adjustment instructions.
