KW V3 Settings

I recently just installed some KW V3's with ADV 19's. Now the settings on the coil-overs are set at default without any changes and personally I find the ride quite harsh and stiff considering I don't track my car. I have personally liked the ride of the oem suspension (non performance package) and wanted to know if there is a specific setting to bring it close to this? Or maybe you guys have specific settings you guys can share?

Check out Palmball's thread on his KW V3 and recommended settings in the middle of the page. Seems like a good place to start. https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w204/361007-latest-mods-uk-c63-kw-v3-s-brabus-b63-tune.html

I've bookmarked this page for future reference for when I upgrade to KW coilovers.

Please post driving impressions once you get more miles in.

Wow that's extremely helpful! I will definitely have to bookmark! Right now they only changed the bottom settings right now. It was set as default (which I found very very firm) and they moved it half way to soft from the bottom and right now I am trying this out which seems a lot better! However if it bugs me in the future I will try that link out when I goto the shop.

Have you made any more changes to your KWV3 settings? What did you finally have as your preferred settings?
I just installed a set of V3's and am trying to find a comfortable yet performance setting myself.

Thanks,
