To adjust a KW V3
At each point where you are going to adjust, first turn screw/knob fully clockwise until it stops -
Then back off counting clicks [ there are 18 total]
KW V3 factory settings are:
Front rebound [top of shock] 9 clicks back from full tight
Front Compression [ bottom of shock ] 3 click back from full tight
Rear rebound [top] 7 clicks back from full tight
Rear Compression [bottom] 6 clicks back from full tight.
From the top or bottom full tight is turning the screw/knob clock-wise as though you are closing a jar or soda bottle.
Sometimes you can get disoriented, setting compression, because you are often on your back reaching up under the car from one direction or another.
Always repeat entire procedure when trying new settings -- all the way tight, then back off.
