I have the exact same sentiments. Have the KW V3s & they not nearly as low as I'd liked!!! All round drive/handling is Superb!!!! -but if its stance you after the KW V3s wont be the answer



What settings are you using front and rear?
Just got my kw v3 fitted today ( thanks rs3del) I'm running the recommended settings for a week or so to see how it feels.

Looks so much better than oem too. The real surprise isn't the roadholding, you would expect that to be improved with a sports suspension package, but the ride - it is so much more supple and softer than standard

It's definitely firmer than oem but with non of the crashing and banging if that's makes sense.

Thanks Duke, don't you just love the roads this time of the year 😩 hope you washed after
I'm sitting a little lower at the rear than you I think.. I get the odd rub but it's only just touching the arch liner felt. on setting 2 at the rear so going firmer may help but I'm going to see if I can mod the liner slightly to stop it as don't want to adjust and change the ride height really
