from there I advise you to drive the car in many scenarios BEFORE you make any more changes.

NEVER, NEVER ,NEVER make more than one change at a time. ( you will never know what change made the difference you liked or disliked).

Rebound is on TOP and compression is on the bottom.

Remember as you upgrade your suspension things like rear control arms and rear subframe bushings that will effect these settings so dont be surprised if things feel different after certain changes.

Thanks for the advice, just got a used set off ebay and they had your adjustments already.......

I have my front a 1/4 inch lower so had to add a click of compression and rebound to the front and I think It's about perfect for a daily driver... Just enough to be firm but not stiff and very well balanced....

That 1 click made a big difference, you guys are right, start with your settings and make 1 small adjustment at a time to dial them in.......

This set up is working great... I haven't needed to touch a thing....
I could maybe give it another click of rebound..... or a couple of clicks all around but the roads are too rough were I need to drive... Just firm over bumps but not harsh at all...

I also went to 20mm front bar and a 18mm rear bar.... It handles crazy good the harder you push it the flatter it is and can still go over bumps while you're driving like a fool...... I don't spin the tires in turns, you hit the gas and it plants the tires and you go...

If any out doesn't know yet, the KW V3 are great shocks and worth the money....
Lower it a bout an inch and your're good. It looks good and handles great...

Are you guys on the older (stiffer) rates or the new (softer) rates? Seems like the new rates at not even worth the trouble... But would like to hear optinions.
