Can someone school me on KW suspension please(move to w203AMG section plz)
The car I bought has KW v2 and the previous owner briefly explained how it works but Im still not 100% on what the ideal setting is for the streets. I dont really want to alter the height of the car too much.
Basically you can adjust the rebound under the hood for soft\stiff and you can adjust the height with the special wrench underneath the car.
Is there a PDF or written instructions on how to properly adjust the rebound and to make sure both sides and the rear are all same setting?
I have the little knob that came with it that has an arrow on it which you place onto the valve. Im assuming the arrow needs to point towards the windshield when placed on the adjuster valve??

turn the rebound adjuster fully clockwise which is full closed and resets the valve open it 1.5 turns counter clockwise which puts it in the middle... the best set up is a 1/4 turn open from half way the SLK55 Black Series was set up for the street from AMG that way if your not sure on setting the car your gonna upset the chasis...
