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.

@ZInferno: Congrats to your KW! But your front is too low imho. Driving fast press the car down additionally (aerodynamics). Driving over small a small wrinkle or something will let your car hit the ground...or the fender, as you already mentioned.
Keep in mind that the car will settle after a certain period of time to max 5-6 mm front/rear. My car setttled about 5 mm front/rear. I don't have an actual photo to compare with the one taken on the Leipzig fair (suspension was built in 2 days before photo was taken). There's less room now between fender/tire. ![]() |
