KW v3 setup

Just wondered what bump & rebound are people running on their v3's?
I've experimented a bit but find the ride around town extremely harsh.

Reluctant to soften off rear bump as when softer I experienced significant bounce on highway speed mid corner compressions.

I've also noticed some low speed understeer - I'm hoping softening front bump might help this; anyone had similar? Mines only a standard M3, so doesn't have the stiffer rear ARB.

Geo, corner weighting all spot on.

I don't have exact numbers off hand, but for me the car at my ride height on V3's seems to really like soft bump, around 12 or 13 clicks from hard, and rebound is set around 6 or 7 from hard for street and 1 to 2 from hard for track.

Every time I turn the bump softer the car just feels so much better and has way more grip.

Very happy with the V3s once I got them dialed in, I went through a few phases of way too stiff on both bump and rebound for street, but on track it doesn't seem possible to tighten up rebound too much...
