KW V3s installed. Front doesn't go low?

I just had V3s installed, but I feel like the front isn’t even low considering we maxed the fronts out.

Running stock wheels with 15F/12R spacers.

Can someone chime in? Photos I’ve seen online of has kit and V3s are all way lower than this.

Thoughts?

What’s the max drop with that kit? It looks like you’re only 20mm low. Put some miles on it and see if they settle a bit more.

I lied. It had 3 more turns from the bottom. This is completely bottomed out in the front.

Definitely low enough now, just didn’t think it would have to be bottomed out to sit flush with the tire.

On my F80 when I had one, with V3s, they tucked almost to the lip of the wheel and still had turns left on the coil.
