Product details
Kontrol Sport coilovers for the 2015-2018 Audi Q3 AWD arrive as four assembled units, sprung and valved for this application. Springs are rated 10.5 kg/mm in front and 6 kg/mm at the rear. Valving runs 30% stiffer than Kontrol Pro, which suits an owner who wants more control from a crossover that gets driven with some spirit.
The 36 levels of adjustment sit on one knob per damper, and turning a knob changes compression and rebound together, which keeps setup changes simple. The monotube, high-pressure body keeps oil and gas separated. That layout sheds heat faster and more evenly than twin-tube construction, and it resists aeration and cavitation for a consistent ride.
Pillowball upper mounts on MacPherson-strut fronts install to OEM specifications and add adjustability, and KSport's upper mount on many applications allows separate camber and caster adjustment. Mounts, collars and spring perches are 6061-T6 billet aluminum, and the steel shock bodies are zinc-plated. Lock every collar with both spanner wrenches, and have a professional set the alignment after install.
Supported features
36 levels of damping adjustment let you dial the system in for handling and comfort. Adjustment alters compression and rebound together for effective, user-friendly setup changes.
Oil and gas stay separated within the cylinder. Compared with twin-tube construction, a monotube dissipates heat faster and more evenly, allows finer damping adjustment, and resists aeration and cavitation for consistent ride quality.
Many MacPherson-strut applications use pillowball top mounts front and rear, installing to OEM specifications. The patented mount adds adjustability, combats noise, and sharpens steering feel and response.
Most applications adjust ride height without losing suspension travel, so you reach the height you want without bottoming out the shock. Separate rear shock-and-spring applications adjust at the spring perch and lower mount.
KSport's advanced upper pillowball mount is available on many applications, giving separate camber and caster adjustment for alignment work and removing the need for a separate camber kit.
Mounts, collars, and spring perches are machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum for a lightweight, durable, corrosion-resistant build. Steel shock bodies are zinc-plated for added protection from corrosion.
Application details
Installation
Set ride height with the adjustable lower mount where the application has one; use the spring perch only where the application-specific layout has no adjustable lower mount. Lock every collar with both spanner wrenches. Start damping 18 clicks counterclockwise from full stiff and adjust from there. Professional setup and alignment are required after installation; on MacPherson fronts, establish baseline camber at the elongated lower-mount hole before fine adjustment at the upper plate.
