Default KW-V3 setting suggestion's?

I haven't had the chance to drive on my kws yet and was wondering if there are better suggestion's then what the instructions suggest they be set to? This would be for a DE/street application.

Jason, check with these forums. Not sure if you have to join but it costs nothing anyway. Good info in there.

Straight out of the box will probably be fine too.

Yes, run them as they come, and don't be in a hurry to tweak them.

Well,

My car is sqatting really hard with my KONI sport yellow rear shocks. I have a 968 CS rear sway. We were considering just having new KONI rear shocks installed, but these KW's sound interesting. What do you guys think of them for our cars? I'm about to pull the trigger, and it's not a cheap pull.

Thanks,

George

Don't forget that you will have to re-index your Torsion bars too or have the installer do it. Set them low, but that should be in the instructions.

George, they would be perfect for your car and needs! Do a bit of a search in here and use those links above that I posted to search. Everyone I've found around the globe who has them, loves them.

Ordered a full set from SFR. $2200 US seemed like a goof price for this setup. Be here in six days from Germany. Seems like the best stuff for our cars. Find it compelling that they come pretuned for our cars. Great way to get what you want without going through the adjustment details. Can't wait to wring them out.

Thanks,

George

Excellent George. I guarantee you'll love them, but make sure they're installed properly which really means the t/bars re-indexed lower. Bit of a p.i.t.a. but not compared to other stuff you're having difficulties with.
Look forward to the posts.

Anders, what rates have you gone up to and when you ordered your 2 ways did you have your T-bars in? If so won't your valving be out?
