KW V2 LE's too firm

[MattyT]

My coilovers are too darn firm

What can i do about it? They're wound all the way to max softness already but I can still feel every darn bump in the road. I'm a bit over it really. I'd like something much more comfortable for everyday cruising

Was thinking of swapping them out for some sport shock/spring combo?

I guess they are coilovers :S

What sort of condition are your bushes in?

[whiteVR6]

Do you know what the spring rates are?

Kw v2 are suppose to give you the best ride in coilovers I know kw offer a street comfort coilovers otherwise shock spring combo is the best option

If it is any comfort to know that they will get softer with a bit more use.

They've been on the car for about 3 years :S

My mechanic looked over the bushes last week, says there in good nick. Most of them have been replaced in the last year or two.

I have no idea what my spring rates are, I havent modified the KWs at all in the time they've been on the car.

whats your ride height like? If its low then raise it up a tad and you should find it a bit more comfortable

What about your tyres? Do you have big wheels with like 185 35 tyres? If so that wont help at all.

if you have rebound and compression adjustability, try setting the compression damping (to about a quarter hard from full soft) and the rebound damping ( three quarter hard from full soft)
Hope this helps, good luck

I've got 16" rims with 205/45/R16 tires. The car isn't that low either. Just measured the ride height and it sits about 140mm off the ground at the front, and 170mm off the ground at the rear.

Unfortunately, the V2's dont have compression adjustments - only rebound - but thanks anyway fred27

I'm kind of over feeling every little bump in the road. Perth roads aren't that flash and it is a world easier driving other cars with much softer suspension. I'd never go back to stock on mien dub because it just looks so darn bad but I have to do something about this, I dread driving greeny for anything longer then a 20min sojourn these days!
