Ive been running kw v3’s for around 3 years now and I absolutely LOVE them. Love that they are soft and super comfortable on the road and with the turn of a few dials, they transform into a very promising setup on the track. Wanting a bit more camber this season, I finally took the plunge and ordered a set of buddy club offset balljoints with roll center adjusters. Install was nice and simple but upon lowering the car back down, I noticed the car was super low in the front now, to the point where it looked like it belonged in a stanceworks feature. Now my question is can I raise the kw’s a bit higher? I already had them set to the maximum height recommended by kw themselves and threaded them up some more after noticing how low it was, the helper spring isn’t fully compressed yet, but it’s damn near close.
I’ll attach a photo to show how low the car actually is now
Doesn't matter if the helper is fully compressed whilst adjusting the height. Its certainly going to be fully compressed once the car is on the ground anyway.
Tip: Whenever I install coilovers, I put a *small* amount of PTFE grease between the springs and seats. It makes adjusting easier. Since yours are assembled...you can spray a small amount of silicone spray on the threads/springs before adjusting them upward so its easier.
