04 Fitment
05 Installation
C8 coilover swap is more involved than a front-engine car — rear suspension access requires dropping the rear subframe or working around the engine cradle. Plan a full day at a qualified shop. The kit bolts to OEM mount points with no fabrication, but the C8’s mid-engine layout makes back access tight.
What you’ll need
- Coil-spring compressor (rentable at most parts stores)
- Standard metric socket set + torque wrench
- Jack + jack stands rated for vehicle weight
- Alignment appointment booked for same day (mandatory after install)
Time required
5-7 hours for the install. Add a 1-hour alignment appointment same day — new ride height changes camber, caster, and toe.

09 Frequently Asked
What’s the difference between KW V1, V2, V3, Clubsport, and DDC?
V1 is pre-set damping — KW chose the rebound/compression settings, you adjust ride height only. Best for street drivers who want lower stance and improved handling without tinkering. V2 adds rebound adjustability. V3 adds independent compression adjustability — you can fine-tune for street comfort or track aggression. Clubsport 2-way/3-way is the track-tuned tier with stiffer spring rates and motorsport valving. DDC is electronic damping — iPhone app control or vehicle Drive Mode integration on supported chassis.
Is this a real KW part?
Yes. FFP is an authorized KW Suspension dealer. Every order comes direct from KW Automotive’s North American distribution center. No counterfeits, no third-party copies. Each kit ships in original KW packaging with serial number and warranty documentation.
Will this work with my factory MagneRide / electronic damping?
This kit is for non-Magnetic Ride Control (MRC) C8 Stingrays only. The Z51 base car without MRC accepts this kit; cars equipped with MRC need a separate KW MRC-compatible solution (DDC tier). Check your trunk RPO sticker for code FE2 (MRC) before ordering.
How long is the lead time?
KW V3 C8 coilover kits ship from KW’s Buford GA distribution center. In-stock applications typically ship within 3-5 business days from KW’s Buford, GA distribution center. Backorder applications usually refill within 2-3 weeks. We send you a weekly status update if your application is on backorder.
Can I install it myself?
Most experienced DIY mechanics can install a coilover kit in 4-6 hours per axle pair with basic tools (jack stands, spring compressor, socket set, torque wrench). However: alignment is required after install — book a same-day appointment with a shop that can handle coilover geometry. If you’ve never installed coilovers before, we recommend professional install for the first kit.
