Default KW V3 squeak

Anyone have KW V3s and have a squeak noise heard from the front?

I have a used set, im guessing because the settings have been tampered with so much probably could use some adjusting. They arent blown or leaking.

any suggestions? anyone know the factory settings? I already emailed KW with no luck.

Do you have any other modifications to the suspension up front?

What did you lower your front to? e.g. the KW calculation from the perch to lower strut bolt?

I would check your LCA bushings and make sure they're well lubed. My rr racing ones squeaked until i applied some lube to them. Also make sure you reset your bushings to neutral with the new ride hieght.
