Suspension questions

Had KW HAS springs fitted about a month ago, this fault came up yesaterday, cleared on restart but came on again today after driving for about an hour. Happened once before months ago on the standard springs. Any ideas? Also how much firmer should i expect the ride to be lowered? because its pretty brutal even in Comfort, never had a lowered car before so don't know if this is normal? Springs are set at around a 20mm drop if that makes a difference.

c
probably has nothing to do with the springs - although goodluck telling the dealer that now.

the stock rims and tires are the main contributor to the ride quality. My car is more bouncy but not necessarily more harsh (not be a considerable amount anyways).
