Kw coilover experiences?
Im looking to hear from some of the members that did the KW coilovers. My main concern is the ride, does this eliminate the stock stiff suspension? Is it more comfortable as a daily driver ?

I'm happy with mine since I installed them. You can adjust rebound and compression to your liking. I set mine a little stiffer than stock I guess but I daily drive no problem.

With the kw v3's you have a fair amount of adjustment range. You can go much stiffer or much softer than stock, you just need to play with the setup.

Does anyone mind sharing their kw3 setup? I haven't found the perfect setup yet.
I'm mostly interested in what you guys have for your compression? (bottom dial)

This. Agreed. And mine are even stiffer than yours cos they softened em up for 2010. Too many complaints apparently.
I switched to H&R to drop it a little.

The P30 package, with the stiffer ride, was available in the 2010 MY up until some build date in Dec 2009 when they switched over to the P31 package. rentzington likely has the same springs as were on your P30 C63 originally.

If that's the case yes, mine was built around Sept 09 if memory serves

In anycase everything i've read indicates the kw coilovers give a MUCH better ride than any stock springs and give the handling of stiff springs.
