KW V3 Owners

I'm at the recommended settings....maybe a click or two stiffer on the dampening.

Curious what others are running for DD and also your feedback on ride characteristics. Also...please note any other suspension mods (M3 control arms, subframe bushings, sway etc).

Oh....I have vorshlag camber plates and they are solid as a rock! No complaints. 335xi e90. 235/40/18 and 265/35 PSS. Car feels fantastic.

Looking forward to seeing what you've all got going on!

>maybe a click or two stiffer on the dampening

Do you mean both compression and rebound?

Stock/factory setting was pretty good for track and I thought it was overkill for street. I never went stiffer than one click (or 60 degrees of rotation on bump setting) more on all eight settings (bump, compression at all four corners) with exception of an additional "click" stiffer on rear rebound. Somewhere between my winter setting (see that thread) and stock is good for summer street ~for me~. Tire profile has a small effect here too on comfort. I personally hate the ride I have on 19" wheels even though I am sportin' em right now. (All look, no go - at least I bought them used.)
