KW V3 Rear Ride Height
I've noticed a lot of people on here also have the KW V3's so I'm hoping you all can help. I installed mine a few weeks ago and have never really been happy with how the rear sits. There are quite a few members that seem to be slightly lower in the rear than my setup (even though im maxed out). I'm not trying to *slam* my car but I would like to lower another half inch or so. I can comfortably fit 2 fingers between tire and fender right now running 305-30's and -1.2 degree's camber. I had swifts before and they seemed to sit just as high and I guess I expected the V3's to give me more adjustability back there. So, how are you all doing it, or is it just the angle of the pictures im seeing?

you should be able to just use the spanner wrenches and turn to adjust....I've got the V3s also and I can easily lower/raise by turning the perches to adjust. Other people might chime in....

Yeah I'm familiar with how they work as far as raising and lowering is concerned. I have the purple perch all the way as high as it can go on the collar but the car just doesn't seem to sit low enough, at least compared to the others that I've seen.

I dunno bro. Everything seated flush/right under the spring (big rubber thing)? Mine is this low and it can go even lower.

Yep! Rubber thing under the perch is seated properly. Your car was one of the ones I was referring to that appears to be lower than mine. The fact that you say you can go lower leads me to believe something on my end isn't correct. Did you remove any of the rubber stops on the strut that came with the KW? What's the finger gap on your rears right now based on that picture?

Could you have a member thats not having issues compare the part #'s on the rear springs to make sure you have the right springs and not ones for a G? seems like that maybe the case

Could be the case, I didn't know there was a difference between the g and z kit. The box says 370 z34 but the springs could definitely be mis-labeled. Anyone care to compare for me?
