I just installed KW V3's today. I have the dampers set in the middle of the range. The car is 1 & 7/8" lower in the front and 1 & 3/4" lower in the rear than stock. I think it may have settled slightly after driving. I also replaced the stock nismo sways with Whitelines, front and rear (these are set full stiff). My first impressions: The cornering feels dramatically better than stock, zero roll... Also I think ride quality is actually improved, the chassis feels more settled over stutter bumps and re-balances instantly after going through big dips and ridges. Certainly a more confident feel going into and accelerating out of corners. No rubbing issues until I filled up the fuel tank and had a friend of mine in the passenger seat (he's around 300 lbs and I'm about 180). I drove quickly over some railroad tracks with this added weight and one of the tires scuffed the fender liner slightly. Because of this, I may dial the ride height up a little, or just ban heavier people from riding with me.
