kw v1 ride height problem (r56 to r53)

hi i just installed kw v1 coilover from an r56 to my r53. my problem now is that the highest setting of the coilover is too low for my taste (i would like to have 1 or 2 finger gap between the fender and the tires)








rear the conical washer was still there when i checked it awhile ago will try to take it out tomorrow . the front is on the highest setting.

anyone here who uses kw v1 can you show some picture of the kw v1 spring? (im thinking that the spring of r53 and r56 are not the same in the front) i have no problem in the rear it still has a plenty of room to raise/lower

btw after installing this coilover i started to hear some noise. not sure if its the cv joint or wheel bearing
