It's probably the way he put the camber plates on the front. You should not use the purple cone piece if you're using the camber plates.

Must be something wrong or is it actually possible that with this minimum increase in stiffness, it screwed up the whole setup? |

But he made the same exterior diameter and lenght, so this should not affect height, or? https://photos.app.goo.gl/x1MPyupNmDDe6Z7LA |

I'm using the exact same springs as you but with OEM top mounts and I'm about 25mm lower than OEM with room to go another 25mm probably. With your top mounts you should be able to go even lower. Quote:

My rear ride height is pretty good but the front settled so hard that the car is pretty much scraping everywhere, its driving me nuts. As soon as I have time I will try the following settings (@Racecomp Engineering y'all are more than welcome to criticize this ) - Try to level the height in the Front with the Rear - Set Compression (Bump) to: 7 front and 8 Rear - Set Rebound to: 10 front and 8 Rear - Corner balance them - Set the following alignment: Front:Camber: -1.8º Toe: 0º Rear:Camber: -2º Toe: +0.08º I came up with this numbers (except the alignment number, those I pulled out of my ass combining multiple setups I've seen, user feedback and my limited knowledge) using a previous comment by Racecomp Engineering which mentioned the following (pardon not properly quoting it, I have it copy pasted on a notepad): Quote:
@J95 if you want to "compare setups" feel free to hit me up. Last edited by KiK; 03-19-2024 at 06:27 PM. Reason: Added alignment. |

Our recommended settings won't really have any relevance to your KW V3s...they're valved differently and with different spring rates so I don't think I can give you anything to go on.
That said...if your ride height is way too low and you're scraping everywhere...that's problem #1 that you need to fix! Don't even try to dial in the dampers until your ride height is good (I'd just set them to a baseline on the softer setting all around for now). - Andrew |

Regarding those settings, they came from this thread which pretains to KW V3s https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19946 Could you please confirm that the comment in question doesn't apply? |

They might be useful as a starting point, though I think you might like a few clicks softer than what was quoted. - Andrew |

Actually, I talked with KW and maybe I can get a replacement springs of 50-170 to substitue my current 50-200 that I have at the front. Then I should be able to lower the car more (as I wrote, it dropped only like 20-25mm at it is already in its lowest position). @Racecomp Engineering do you think it is a good workaround? |

Any coilover and especially a 2 way like KW V3s does require a little more effort to get set up right. For settings, if you're starting from the beginning or if the recommended settings don't really make sense because you're on a slightly different set up, I always suggest starting soft and working your way up. Adjust compression first, then rebound. I like going 2 clicks at a time, then dialing it back 1 when it gets too much. Ride height and tire choice are also important. - Andrew |
