KW V3 Setup

Post by cbock » Sat Feb 08, 2025 10:58 pm

I will be replacing DRC with KW V3s next week. Car already has front and rear Hotchkis sways. Can anyone point me to threads talking about known good setups? I would like to get a good baseline quickly and then make adjustments to my preferences. Thanks!

The standard setting out the box are pretty good & set up for the car.

Ride height can be fairly easily adjusted afterwards if needed. They will settle a bit after first install so probably best to install a little bit high.

Whatever you pick please remember this. Crunched my front splitter off of a footpath while parking many years ago just a week or so after having fitted Bilsteins and the front had sunk/settled down. Can still hear the noise :shock:
