    3 Setup Manual

    Uploaded by

    This setup manual provides instructions for adjusting the rebound and bump settings on KW competition shock absorbers. It explains that the rebound can be adjusted from 0-16 clicks using the supplied adjustment wheel, with harder settings providing more stability at higher speeds. The bump can be adjusted +/- 3 clicks using a small key, with harder low-speed bump settings stabilizing the corresponding axle. The manual recommends starting settings of 6 clicks rebound and 5 clicks bump on the front, and 9 clicks rebound and 6 clicks bump on the rear.

    Set Up Manual KW-Variant 3


    No. 685 77 011

    Our 2-way adjustable competition shock absorber is based on the KW twin tube damping system,
    and features independent rebound adjustment. Depending on the sealing and the adjusting system
    of the individual kit, our systems may be charged with pressures of 3 to 8 bars, or without any pressure at
    all.

    Adjusting rebound:
    The rebound adjustment is positioned in most cases at the end of the piston rod (top of strut). Please use
    the supplied KW adjustment wheel on the extruded tab adjuster for all adjustments.

    1st step: Place the KW adjuster on the adjustment Allen bolt.

    2nd step: Turn the adjuster clockwise to the right until it stops. This is now adjusted to full hard.
    (clockwise=harder).

    3rd step: Turn the KW adjuster anti clockwise to soften the rebound setting to the desired level. The
    effective adjustment range is from 0 - 16 clicks open.

    Attention:
    Never drive the vehicle with the shock absorbers set to full hard or full soft! Never apply force to the
    adjusting mechanism of the shock absorber. As soon as you reach the end of the adjustment range, you
    will recognize a certain resistance. Stop turning to avoid damage to the bottom valve.

    Rebound adjusting principles:


    In general a soft rebound adjustment provides a comfortable ride at low vehicle speeds but the vehicle will
    have less stability at higher speeds, especially on the front axle (vehicle will tend to float at higher speeds).
    A hard rebound adjustment offers more stability but could reduce vehicle grip (i.e. the vehicle will tend to
    skip across road imperfections, reducing traction).

    Adjusting the bump/compression:


    The compression forces can be adjusted on our patented 2-way bottom valve. Access to the bump valve
    in most instances is found on the bottom of each shock case. Hardness adjustment on the rebound valve
    is made on the end of the piston rod with the supplied setting wheel or with a 2mm Allen key.
    Adjusting bump:
    Bump forces, especially on low damper speeds, have a great influence on handling and driving behaviour
    of your car. The setting of the bump forces will be made from the bottom of the shock case. Behind the
    adjusting grove you gain access to a pin with 4 holes. With the supplied small key, the adjusting pin can be
    adjusted by 3 clicks in either direction. Smaller increments are possible.
    Before performing any adjustments, the valve must be closed by turning the adjuster clockwise until it
    stops. In this position, the shock will be at full hard, or “maximum power”. From here, the adjustment range
    is 12 clicks.

    To avoid the mismatch of the dampers when actively changing settings, you should close the valve from
    time to time to re-calibrate the settings from side to side.

    Bump adjusting principles:


    Generally, hard low speed bump settings will stabilize the corresponding axle (less over steer on the rear,
    for example) or offer the front a more precise steering response. Too much low speed bump power will
    decrease grip!
    Depending on the valve configuration found inside the kit, maximum bump forces will not influence the
    suspensions response when encountering hard bumps, such as curbs on the racetrack.

    Attention! Do not turn the adjusting spindle by force when you reach the end of the adjustment
    range, this may damage the fine valve inside the system!

    Our recommendation for your car to start with:


    Front axle Rebound: 6 Clicks open Bump: 5 Clicks open
    Rear axle Rebound: 9 Clicks open Bump: 6 Clicks open
