Go ahead and try:

5 off full stiff in the front for rebound.
6 off full still in the rear for rebound.

3 off full stiff on compression on all 4 corners (KW recommended settings)

Then report back and tell me what you liked/didn't like etc.

You can try 2 off compression as well if its not quite stiff enough for you, but those rebound rates are what I was using when I ran staggered tire setup, should do fine as a base map to draw your own settings from.

Good luck!

Set your ride height first before alignment.

Use the KW recommended ride height. The manual has a ride height range. I would have it 0.5" longer than their lowest ride height setting.

Everyone runs:

Max your caster then:

Camber
F- -2.2*
R- -2.7*

Toe
F- 0"
R- 2/16 to 3/16" Total Toe IN

Yeah, Billy knows my setup by heart, Kind of scary ya stalker!

=P

You may want to take away some front camber to get as much caster as possible, you're going to want to be above 6 degrees, around 6.2 or 6.4 ideally. If you can hit that range on your car great, if not don't worry about it, just try and get close.

in degrees rear toe = 36 degrees total.

Gluck!
