KW3 settings (owner input requested)

///MML · 05-18-2009, 10:12 PM

I plan on going with KW3 next month but was looking for input on what some are running for rebound and damping settings. Also how hard/soft does your setting relate to the normal OEM suspension.

Finally is there a sync between the damping/rebound settings (ie rebound = 7 then damping =7) or totally independent. I plan on getting mine installed at custom alignment (bay area very good shop) but I know they are going to ask how I want it set up.

Thanks for the input.

they are dependent, you're not supposed to equalize rebound and compression damping settings. It changes handling a lot.

I can't really help you since the clubsport is a lot rougher than the V3 and has stiffer settings all around but try it out with the settings KW ships it with
They put it at a medium all around setting so you can tailor it to your liking from there

They (KW) should have a recommended setting for your car. Use that as a baseline and make small changes after you've driven it for a while to find the sweet spot.

Custom Alignment is the best. You can't go wrong there. Listen to any advice they give.
