So I picked up some KW's V2 used less than 1 year. Now that I installed them Im not liking the ride. It feels too bouncy. I was looking for something more comfortable than what I had with Eibach springs and Tokico HP's. So how will adjust these V2 to get a more comortable ride? Righw now I have the front softer than the back, I also don't have the adjust tool but I borred my bro's Koni tunig **** which works on the frot but on the back I can't fit the know because the top is too big. So please give your advise. I've never had adjustable coilovers before.

 

i would try getting the kw tool online, then just experiment with diff settings. generally a softer ride is better for harsh roads

 

After an alignment the ride feels way better. I still have to fine adjust the struts front and back. Anybody have any setting that they have their rides at? For DD

 

ive had koni/gc and now i have tein SS-P. both have 16 settings and i set both 8/10 (F/R) and the koni's hands down were stiff as hell while the tein SS-P's are perfect for DD. not too soft but not too harsh.

 

from what i have heard, the harsher the spring rate in the rear the harsher the ride. i would then assume the stiffer the shocks setting in the rear, that harsher the ride.

 

Cool, but how do you know your at 8/10? These coils have the adjuster like the konis. There's no numbers to go by. Are they supposed to click cuz these just turn and there's no clicking.

Thanks for the tip

 

theres suppose to be clicks you go by. every adjustable suspension ive had and have seen has had it.

also, the softer the damper setting on the shock, the softer the ride is. but the ride i think personally suffers if its set too soft. thats just a tradeoff to having an aftermarket performance suspension.

 

Oooo, how are you liking them? Those were my 2nd choice. KW makes badass stuff.

 

After an alignment, and messing with the softness/stiffness im really liking them! They handle great and are more responsive than my old suspension combo.

 

so how comfortable are they now?

 

Now they are pretty sweet on smooth roads it just on the rough road that it feels bouncy imo. But i guess i just have to get used to it or keep changing the setting to find a spot that i like.
