Hello,
I have a 3 Performance and my understanding is that the 3P has 130mm ground clearance and 4LR has 140mm.
So when I bought the KW V3, they say that lowers 20-50 mm.
Adjustment is then: 50-20 = 30mm.
Now range on collar to adjust this is: 15mm.
Which gives a ratio: 30 mm / 15 mm = 2
So laymans terms: If I adjust 1 mm on threaded collar, it should change ride height by 2 mm.
Now what I then did was to try different heights but it all the time seemed crazy low.
Now I am almost at the MAX setting, so my front is 147 out of 150mm (3), so this means:
20 mm (fixed lowering) + (3 mm * 2 factor) = 26 mm
Then on rear I am on 49 out of 50, which means:
20mm (fixed) + (1 mm * factor 2) = 22 mm
What this then in theory should mean:
Clearance front: 140 - 26 = 114 mm (11.4Cm)
Clearance back: 140 - 22 = 118 mm (11,8 Cm).
However when I have this setting, I can just fut a 2x4 some places under the car.
That should fit with over 1 cm clearance, so I dont understand how/where to measure ride height?
What I am worried about is mostly for the car to hook on speedbumps, as they can be 10 Cm tall.
