Hello guys, I would like to ask for advice from those who have more experience than me in track settings.

In particular, I would like to get a good config regarding camber / caster, compression, rebound and ideal height settings for KW v3.

My car has the following modifications:

Kw v3 suspensions, dinan camber plates, rear anti-roll bar M3 E93, Quaife LSD, Nankang NS-2R.

Nice setup. I would look for a proper race shop to have it corner balanced for best results.

KW Settings:

All settings are ~from~ full tight (closed). Note: A click is approx. 60 *degrees (takes 6 "clicks" for one rotation). Bump settings are harder to feel (no "clicks"): going by rotation. (2/3 open = 2/3 rotation = 240 degrees)

Summer 2010
===========
This yielded very good results, still open to experimentation though.

Front bump (bottom): 2/3 open
Front rebound (top): 7 clicks open
Rear bump: 3/4 open
Rear rebound: 5 clicks open

Winter 2010/2011
===============
This yielded very good results and will keep this setting for winters.

Front bump (bottom): 1 & 1/3 open
Front rebound (top): 10 clicks open
Rear bump: 1 & 1/2 open
Rear rebound: 9 clicks open

Factory Recommendation (from manual):
============
Front bump (bottom): 3/4 open
Front rebound (top): 8 clicks open
Rear bump: 3/4 open
Rear rebound: 6 clicks open

Spring DS Day 1 (May 21, 2011)
Recommended + 1 click stiffer rear rebound (5 clicks)

I just did Grattan Raceway with the following:
Front bump (bottom): 1/2 open
Front rebound (top): 5 clicks open
Rear bump: 2/3 open
Rear rebound: 4 clicks open

and I liked the first setting (Summer 2010) I mentioned above better. Particularly noticeable to me last weekend was that having the rear bump setting being even slightly higher gave me a little less grip, especially in with a course with elevation changes like Grattan. See "my garage" section for camber settings.

This is the factory setting for 335i that I use now:

Front: bump: 5 Clicks open | rebound 9 Clicks open
Rear: bump 5 Clicks open | rebound 6 Clicks open

very similar to your 335xi factory settings.

I could try your summer 2010 settings

I have Dinan camber plates, so I can't reach your camber values
My front camber is about about -2.2 degrees and -2.0 rear :\
