Can someone with KW V3s do me a favor

DEpointfive0 · 03-25-2016, 04:12 PM

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!

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 ;-/
