KW V3 adjustment for daily drive

Hi all, a newer owner of 09' E92 with 115K miles here. Sorry the questions might be quite noobie, I want to begin easy and probably go into hardcore mode once gotten familiar with the car.

Cut to the question. the previous owner has EDC changed to KW V3, lowered and probably set to quite stiff. I intend to use the car as weekend tourer for now. How do I adjust the settings on KW V3 to softened it up and to its tallest ride height?

I know probably nobody uses KW for non sporting use. But I don't really have an option to go back to OEM or other suspension anytime soon. So adjust it as much as possible is the only thing that I can think of.

Also, do I need new alignment after height/damping adjustment?

thanks

Take them off and swap them for stock suspension, v3’s will ride stiff.

Agreed. Or find a stock ZCP setup which will be slightly lower than non ZCP, but ride better than KWV3.
PS - i have V3s and love them. You can have my stock suspension if you need it.
