KW V3 Compression Adjustment
 
So I finally got around to adjusting the compression all around. Ran into a problem though: how the hell do you adjust compression on the front coils? There's like no way to get to the area without unbolting things, which I don't want to do because I don't want to get another alignment...

I have had my KW V3's now for about a month or so and LOVE them and i have the same issue/question too..
we can adjust the rebound but not compression

you wont lose your alignment if you un bolt the bottom, this is what i have to do to adjust it. i do plan though eventually to take off the black metal bracket piece to notch it so i don have to unbolt the damper to adjust the compression

Really? Hmm, okay. Do you know what specs to torque it back up to when I'm done w/ it? Or just tighten it until I can't turn it lol.

yes really, nothing amount your alignment will change

i honestly give it a good hit with my impact, but if i had to give a torque spec id say something similar to your lugs, 80-90 foot pounds

The OEM Workshop manual states 120 ft-lbf. Hope this helps.
