KW V2 Ride Height Question
So I know this is pretty obvious to most people, but I have search and found completely conflicting answers on which direction to turn the perches to raise / lower the car with KW V2 (which I am assuming is the same for V1, and V3). The directions I thought were correct were:
CCW: RAISE CW: LOWER So now I have my rear suspension completely wound counter clock wise (see pics below), and the car still seems completely slammed. So either I am completely backwards on how to adjust the suspension, or that is as high as KW will let you go. Are the adjustments made in the same direction in the front suspension vs rear? Any ideas? |

Any one running KW's that can help a brother out? Or is every one too ashamed post due to the ridiculous-ness of the question.... If so I understand.

Right now you have it at the lowest setting. The perch is spun all the way down, meaning it's not adding length to the spring. Spin the plate up to elongate the perch. Longer perch = longer spring. The rear is simple.
The front is what there has been debate about whether you shorten/lengthen the spring to raise/lower the car. I don't recall on the front since I set my height on my KWs and left it because I got the desired height first try. |
