KW V3 Setup
Let's see your setup! Engine is getting Crawford's built block a day after my KW V3 and Vorshlag top hat install. Want to see other peoples setup before I take it to get my alignment done. A big thanks to Randy at Evasive Motorsports for the install and great customer service!!

Good choice on the vorshlag top hats. With the KWv3 it's a great street setup for sure.

Perhaps just pic but front looks really low. I have same setup V plates and all. I noticed going any lower then 1 3/8ths lower then stock ride and feel suffered. Likely due to roll Center. Also in rear I put Voodoo LCA which gave me another 1.5" of stroke which also really helped a lot to keep within optimum operating range. Honestly I may raise them in spring when pull car out again and goto 1.250" lower then stock. While being low looks cool there is a breaking point where ride and connected feeling starts to suffer. Cheers

Zero toe all round and -2 at most all corners imo. If you're just DD with odd track day you'll get away with -1.5 all around camber wise and have less inner wear. If you have no rear LCA and you are 1.5" or lower you're likely near -3 degrees or more, which is well.... a ton, too much really.
What's your wheel size and offset and tires?

Note best measurement point is center of axle to bottom middle of fender @ 90 degrees straight up....., this eliminates the difference is tire and wheel size and gives accurate account of how much you are lowered. Goto a dealer or find friend with (stock) frs measure that front and back then you will know exactly how much you have lowered.

Yeah I don't want more than -2 of camber. It's daily driven and canyon run on occasion.

I'm at 13.00" from Center to Center of fender bottom therefore 1.500" lower basically, like I said I'm going to raise up this spring. Check and see what you"re at and then you'll know.

That being said -1.5 would do you fine all around. With your size and offset it would look better to if that counts.
