I love my KW V3's. Asked the installer for a 'corner balance' and overall settings to be geared 60/40 track v. street. Compression and rebound are set just two clicks towards firmer.

KW V3 are your 2 words!

kw v3 is probably the most touted coilover on the board. i just got mine installed about a month ago and, man, it really changes up the handling and feel of the vehicle for the better all-around.

i currently use rsquad911's recommended settings of the following:
Front: rebound 6 clicks to full hard, bump 5 clicks to full hard
Rear: rebound 7 clicks to full hard, bump 6 clicks to full hard

i would think that these are way too soft for the track, so you'd probably need to adjust 2-3 clicks towards full hard if you end up going this route.

I have a set of V3 KWs I am going to install...but I'm worried it'll make the car too firm or uncomfortable? My Trans Am has normal upgraded springs and Bilstein HD shocks...car is stiff with all the modifications I'd done to it, so it's nice to have the C63 to have a comfy ride.

Can the V3s be set so that the car isn't that much firmer, but at least doesn't roll as much? Or is that just impossible due to physics?

Also, when you guys say "5 clicks to firm" are you saying 5 clicks firmer than what they come set up at from the factory?

And beetwen Eibach, Ohlmins or Billstein, whats the best?

Go for the DDC version and you can adjust the damping from pretty much stock to rock hard at the touch of a button (or via a App on your phone if you get the WLAN module)

i went from a stock suspension, non-p30/p31 car, and went with the settings aforementioned in the thread and it really changes the car handling and ride quality to be so much more comfortable. there is much less body roll on turns, road imperfections are much less jarring, and the handling is superb.

what we also mean by a certain amount of clicks to firm or hard is that if you turn the adjustment knobs to full hard/firm, then dial them back said amount of clicks, that's the setting we're referring to.
