Question KW V3 - Setup & Experience

Any members running KW V3 coilovers?
I'm getting mine fitted next and was wondering what compression/rebound settings people are running with?
How is the stock setup KW recommends? Anyone run a more comfortable setting than the stock/base setting?

I'm slightly nervous that the stock setting might be a bit too harsh for daily use on subpar roads. I'm hoping I don't have to drop the rear to adjust rebound. I'm coming from a DDC suspension with 205/40 R18 PS4.

Looking forward to your inputs. Cheers

I'm planning on V2s later/early 22/23. You can get rebound extensions for the rear dampers. https://www.kwsuspensions.com/produc...cessories.html
Start off with settings in the middle, drive on you favorite crappy road and play with the adjustments.

Double adjustable dampers are way too much for a daily driver.

That being said, here is a good read about adjusting dampers :
