Looks like you're in Phoenix, I've just moved here, I have the V3's too.
Car looks great but I'd say you're lucky not to have the aero package. The highways are good but everything else here appears to have been designed for UAVs (urban assault vehicles)! I'm running higher than you but the front front splitter is seeing contact fairly often. The roads in Florida weren't great but I've got to tell you the roads round here are rough, the car is riding a lot harder. Perhaps we can compare settings? here's where I have mine now (copied over from another one of my posts),
"Ride height is about 10mm above GT2 (315/25-19, 235) no rubbing issues, (was) good day to day.
Start by closing the valve and then counting the clicks as i open it
Compression = 3 clicks from close
Rebound = 5 clicks from open (yes very loose rebound to prevent the car from having the bouncing effect )"

Front Rebound 9 clicks open
Front Compression 1.25 turns open
Rear Rebound 9 clicks open
Rear Compression 0.75 turns open
The rebound has an adjustment range of 18 clicks, so the car is set mid way. I would like the suspension to feel a little more comfortable, so I am going to be adjusting it a little more. I am curious to hear what settings others are using in the street.

Good luck with that nice painted lip! I too have KW V3's lowered to about your specs and my lip looks pretty chewed up. When I replace it, I don't know if I will go to the trouble of painting it. It drags about everytime I leave my driveway and also at a dip near my house.
Assuming that an alignment was done when the suspension was put on, what specs were used? Particular in the rear. I think the rear camber on my car is pretty aggressive and has trashed the inside edge of my PS2s.
