After a few months, I finally got to install the KW V3 coils.


Initial comparison between Stock Struts + Eibach Pro Springs vs KW V3(stock kwv3 springs and stock tophat) :

Minor road bumps and jitters are now lessened although bigger ones feel fairly similar. This is with the default settings that the KW V3 came with.


I will be initially find three different settings throughout this year:
1. Daily driving comfort
2. AutoX
3. Track

I'm back with my personal experience running KWv3 with settings adjusted to comfort.

As one of the suggestions in a previous comment, it was to set all adjustments 2 clicks from full soft.

I did that, and the ride is much better than when I was running stock suspension with eibach prokit (TRD-equivalent) lowering springs.

I'm glad I made the change. Now I have to start going into AutoX and Track to dial in settings for those activities.

Hi sorry to bring up an old thread, but can you give us another review? Do you still feel like you made the right choice with kw v3 for daily drive and occasional track days and harsh winter?
