I have them on my B5 S4 for the last 4-5 years with no issues what so ever. They clean up like new every season. I highly recomend them

How is the ride compared to OEM in term of ride comfort.

My Cayenne S is without air suspension and the shop recommend the KW and says that the ride will be better then the OEM....

OEM tends to be little bumpy, especially on the back.

I'm also interested in the ride quality and how much of (-) camber this would cause.

I agree it is bumpy and mine is on standard 18" wheels. Just wandering whether the KW V3 or any other ways to make the ride less harsh...

KW V3's are 3 way adjustable... height, rebound and compression. You can pretty much customize the ride to what you want. The only downfall compared to the oem air ride is that you need to manually adjust each corner one by one as opposed to the electronic controls the oem system uses.

If you are comparing the non-air ride suspension then I would say for sure these would be a upgrade just like any aftermarket coilover system. Set up right and taylored to your tastes they will be awesome. Set up wrong and you will hate them.

Make sure to get them corner balanced and aligned at the height you intend on riding on daily.

Good Luck!

cayennekl, rest assured the KWs will ride better than the OEMs, we've installed them onto many cayennes. Since you are in KL also, I can pass you some contacts who are running KW V3s on their cayennes and you can always ask them how's the ride now compared to before

Sorry to bump an old thread, but can these be installed on a cayenne that has the air suspension? As in, the air suspension can be disabled?

While you wait for your answer, you should also drop KW a line as they obviously know their products best. I have the KW v3s on my 05s and I cant imagine how I lived without them. Dropped as low as they will go with all settings dead center.
