Can someone with KW V3s do me a favor
 
Hey guys,

Could someone jack up their car from their diff, let the wheels droop down and post/send me a pic of how much it drooped?

Bonus points if you have SPL midlinks.


Thanks in advance! :tiphat:

Isn't that going to vary depending on whether they actually set droop the way it's supposed to be set?

KW V3s have no droop adjustment

I should have my car on the lift today or tomorrow. Ill try and grab a couple. It has a ton of droop though, I would say at least 3in. I just recently converted to race springs in the rear on the stock arms with an 8" spring, and I still needed a tender to keep it in there.

Tender springs aka helper springs, I think he meant

I googled and I figured, but I'd love to know how/where he's using one

I typically call "tender" springs the ones with 0 spring rate. (only meant to hold a spring in the seat). A helper spring can be bought in multiple rates.

Hope those help. As you can see the tender does not have a shaft to slide over, so you have make sure there is a seat in there for the collar on the tender. Worst case you will oval out the tender from the slight side loading of the spring under large oscillations.

^BTW, thanks again Zack, unfortunately I'm running SPL midlinks, and those do not have enough of a collar to support more spring ;-/
