Unhappy KWV3 wobble

Anyone here on KWV3s? I recently installed a set of KWV3 on my 2017 clubman jcw. I've been getting some strange wobble on first and second gear while accelerating from low speed. The wobble goes away after the car goes over 30km/h or so. At first I thought it's the springs needing some break in period. The wobble never really goes away. I checked almost everything, top mount bearing, tie rods, axles, CV joints, everything seems to be fine. Anyone here experienced the same issue and fixed it? Thanks. This is the ride height I'm at right now. Both front and rear have around 1 finger gap.

That’s a nice stance. Apart from the wobble how’s the ride? Did you go for a wheel alignment after? I assume you dropped it about 35-40mm from stock? Do you have DDC?

Thanks! I forgot what the stock height is anymore. If anyone here can let me know, I'd really appreciate it! I might've went below what kw recommend. I did an alignment after, checked the toe, everything is good. The ride quality is super smooth, better damp than the OEM for sure. I don't have DDC on my car, just good old coil and struts.
