Sorry that this is so late, haven't logged on in a while. I'm sure you've already got your answer, but in case anyone else is ever wondering, height adjustment is kind of a pain in the ass on these. I tried to use a ruler and gave up and bought a set of calipers. Wasn't much better. Problem is, the manual advises you to use the center of the top bolt hole to the top of the spring perch. These aren't lined up very well, so measuring is a pain in the butt. I understand why they chose to use that bolt hole as reference (distance from that hole to the spring perch is what really sets height), but it's not easy. In contrast, adjusting the KW V3's I have now is an absolute breeze. Also helps that there are way fewer threads on the KW's, and there's a screw that you use to hold the rings in place, which helps line everything up.
Took a while to get used to the much stiffer springs on the V3s (I've got an older set with the stiffer 350/400 lb springs), but I absolutely love how they ride on the street. Definitely not as cushy as the Bilsteins, but the linear springs make a world of difference.
