KW Variant 3 - Adjustment Specs?

scruffydog · 11-16-2012, 04:23 PM

Hey Alstann,

I just got my KW V3 installed recently and I'm ready to take it in for wheel alignment. I currently have the ride height almost the same as the OEM setting. But from the KW V3 factory recommendations is below:

Front/Rear: 9 click and 1 turn from close for Rebound & Bump.

As for the ride height, if you didn't measure the height prior to uninstalling. OEM Manual states:
Wheelarch Height (from ground to arch) for 19"
Front: 27.87"
Rear: 27.99"

After my install (The highest the rear is allowed to go):
Front: 27.25"
Rear: 27.3125"

Currently drives like stock can clear anything, but since I track my car, I'm not wondering if I should lower it a bit more. Also, anything lower than this, you may have a hard time accessing the jack points without driving your car on wood blocks prior.
