So you were able to adjust both rear perches the same amount and ended up with same ride height on both sides? I say this because mine isn't even close for the rears. I have the passenger side about at max and drivers side nearly at min to get same middle of wheel to frender height. I understand how this is possible with the stock load leveling shocks but with the kw v3 set this seems harder to get right without having equal weight on each corner. After corner balancing I doubt if they will still be equal but seems like a good place to start prior to corner weighting.
I am trying for a <4" rim to lip for the rears and 3.75" for the front.

FYI, what I did was take 1/2 of the rim diameter (19.75") and then added the distance from the rim lip to fender lip.
Rather then screwing around with a tape measure trying to stay in the center of the wheel and then guessing on centerline.
So,
1/2 of 19.75" = 9.875"
9.875" + rim lip to fender lip distance (4") keeps me within the min/max range established by KW.
I was not trying to drop the car as low as it will go.
