KW V1 Experience
I had KW V1 installed on my 04 CLK55 (209). First 200 miles was very tight and firm. Then both fronts started making noise and alot of play. Seems like the rebound was getting softer and softer. Now the front experiencing a lot of bounce and a trampoline kind of effect. Anybody here has them installed or any advice?

Check to make sure all the nuts/bolts are tight. One of mine rear shock were making noise due to the nut were loose.

Thank you for you comment. I had it checked and everything is tight. Other than the noise, the front end is very bouncy. Yours same way?

The front end is way too soft compared to stock, feels as if springs too soft and weight is too muc. Anyone experiencing same?

Yes part number is correct for CLK55 per KW. Parts came directly from KW Germany. So far KW support is not very encouraging.
