Setting your ride height is just the start when you switch to coilovers.  The real beauty of using KW DDC coilovers for us was in being able to lower the car and maintain the OEM corner balance.  KW and other coilovers also let you improve the corner balance or weight distribution of your car if your car doesn't already have a good set up from the factory.

Technik and GTChannel show you how to set up the KW Suspension DDC using our project BMW E92 M3.  We changed our wheels and tires to a square set up and in doing so raised the front ride height.  This changed the handling characteristics. By putting on the DDC coilovers we were able to adjust the ride height and more importantly regain the stock corner weights despite the taller front tires.

Robert Choo lends us his expertise and garage to do the adjustments.

Jack Up the Vehicle and Remove Wheels

Measure the distance between the distance between the collar and the top of the perch, using an adjustment spanner tool. Take the number down so you'll know the rough measurement on the other side.

Measure the Height Between Collar and Perch

Turn the perch and increase the distance between the collar and the perch to equal the other side. Measure the height of the car.

Roughly Adjust the Ride Height

Place the wheels back on the vehicle. Measure the ride height of the vehicle and adjust the levels as necessary.

Put Wheels Back on and Check Height

Make sure you visually like the ride height in the rear of the car. Life the vehicle and place scale sunder each wheel. Adjust the front and rear levels as necessary. Release the allen key and adjust the weight balance.
