from your comments, since you said it happened at hard-cornering, you have to dial-up the compression dampening, I think.

KWV3 experts might be able to help you better.
Me thinks the car is way to low...

What tires and wheels OEM?

I could not make heads or tails of any of it - all I gathered was that they are not user friendly as every other sentence seemed to be warning...

Ja du canst twveak sem some, but du vill run ze risk of breaking zem if you are not carevul vis dem, ja?


ugh nevermind.
They are uber easy you just need to ignore the instructions.

You need to tighten both the upper and lower adjustments. Unfortunately, to do the lowers, you need to put it on jack stands. That part is kind of a PITA...

But the uppers, just put that little purple handle on it and turn in the direction of the little + on the handle.

You doknow that you can make these things SO stiff that they knock out your teeth, right?

WAH?!?!? No... no... no.. no.... Never.

You don't even have to take off the wheels; just get it up in the air so you can reach the bottom adjustment with that un-bent paperclip thingy you got with them.

Nope, you do it from the bottom with a paper clip or like item.

Do you have the KW sheet with the baseline settings? Just re-set the dampers to those settings. Maybe add a bit more rebound (top of shock)

I hate to say it, Alex but I think that might be your issue.

Know anyone with a fender roller? Bill can hook you up if you can get the car up here in August...
