linear Springs kw

Hi I’ve just fitted some hypercoil linear spring 450lb all round to my kw v2 all fitted fine, just the ride hight on the front is a little high the front springs are 7inch and rears are 6inch. I’ve wound the front right down and the rears are half the way down. Would it be ok to swap the front spring to the rear and rear to the front help much appreciate

 

yes, you can, not a problem at all, though I do think your spring rates are to high for unmodified KW's. I'd probably want to limit V2's to at most 350 lb/in.

 

yah, heck I run 6" on both ends of my v3's (8kg front 9kg rear) with helper springs

 

If the spring rates are a bit bight what faults will i see. Also are the v2 shocks the same as the v3? Thanks for reply’s bill

 

I dunno, I run springs way higher than the v3 came with and I do not see ill effects. The spring holds the car up and resists some compression, the shock's only job is to slow change. The v2 are single adjustable rebound low speed. V3 are double and can adjust low speed compression and rebound separately.

both my damper adjusters are not maxxed out, I started at max damping I figured the springs would overpower the shock damping but I was wrong, it was too much even with the stiff springs I had to back out the damping on every setting both ends of the car

 

I’ll just give them a try see how I get on them I just got a email back from kw they said the 450lb spring will be fine for the v2 thanks for the reply

 

Aw I should just give it a try and see how I get on thanks for the replys I got a email of kw and they said the 450lb spring rate are fine on the v2

 

Thanks for reply I think I’m going give it a try and see how I get on. I spoke to kw and they said 450lb will be fine to run.
