Does the front setting sound about right, or is it too much? (I know you can get problems on the road if you run too much)

When you say stiffer rebound do you mean adding more control? Ie make the spring extend slower (anti clockwise on the KW)?

Thanks

Sorry I don't know either. lol

Here my pennies worth

Start point :- 1.5 rear & 2.5 front camber the ride height must be at least 330mm from centre of wheel to top of arch otherwise the tyre will hit the plastic liner within the wheel arch. The rear to be the same height or 5 -10mm higher than the front.

The setting they put on the KW instructions are for very smooth Germany roads & track they are shit for our roads so go softer than KW state with slight stiffer rebound setting than the bump. otherwise you will loose traction skip across bumps and pole holes and get understeer.

Any way enjoy

Soft rebound provides a comfortable ride at low speeds it will have less stability at high speeds ie 100mph +

anti clockwise = softer.

The rebound is easy to adjust as it it the top adjustment position on the KW's

CORRECTION, Sorry I mean slightly softer than the bump setting

No no no mate.,... surely you mean bumpier than the soft setting ??

so ... are we looking for harder soft rebound ...or softer hard rebound ... or is there just rebound and then soft or hard compression ???

PS Missus wants to take the early morning ferry on Friday, so catch up with you at the Ring probably mate, will drop my crap off at Ericas and then get on it with you ! ....
PPS I will get on at Breidscheid .... just in case !!! ha ha !!
