KW V3 Rebound and Compression Settings

Hi,

As the title suggestions, just wondering what everyone is running. I know it is a bit subjective....

Rebound:
Front - 12 clicks stiff
Back - 14 clicks stiff

Compression : Have yet to touch it. Has anyone dared to mess with it?

Without ride height\ car weight, track conditions, tyres, other suspension mods and alignment infos it's worthless discussing the subject.

I have the old style kw'3 with the resovors and no "click" adjustment.
I have a drop of approx 1 inch on the front and 3/4 inch in the rear
street tires are oem size
track tires are 255/35/18 hoosier R6's with pressures never exceeding 42 Hot
I run the rb bars front and rear
car weight is approx 3100#
my alignment is -1.7 up front , -1.5 rear with minimum toe (o.1?), as much castor as we could get and I forgot the number. Its conservative.
My street settings Top adjustment front is 1 1/2 turns back from full hard--same in the rear
bottom adjustment is front .75 turn back from full hard. rear 1.25 turn back from full hard
This results is a pretty firm ride. At times I do soften it some more--depending.
Track settings front -- one quarter turn back from full hard on top and bottom
rear bottom 1.5 turns back from full hard. cant get to the top adjustment--never bothered with cables.
I run on tracks that are high speed to fairly high speed.
Its a good coilover not perfect--but good.
I have approx 300 rwhp and never had a problem with oversteer. Even with the big bar in the rear.
