Quote: as soon as i work out the kinks, will let you know LOL. Looks like the dynamic suspension is really sensitive to spring rate changes. I need to get the suspension code reset from my dealer.






have you had any problem with this malfunction message popping up every single time? or did it just showed up once?
Does the renntech springs throws this message? or is it just the kws?

and importantly Can anyone comment on the squeaks and rattles in turns and corners with these after 5k $ install?

edit: nevermind

I've got the KW HAS without any noises or malfunction messages. Not the Renntech version.

I have the KWs on my GTS with no fault codes or squeaks or rattles but the rear springs do feel a little soft to me with the rear undulating on rough corners.
The car never changes track but the feeling is odd to me.

I called KW and ordered a set of stiffer rear springs, I should have them in a few weeks..

Hey man your gts looks great. Did the Renntech settle some and lower a little more after driving?

Thanks my gts will be here is a couple days.

Same question. Just got my Renntech springs installed today and it seems like they sit a little high in rear at lowest setting.

Ride quality is much better. It feels more stable to the ground.

It's definitly firmer. Haven't experienced a road bumpy enough to tell you less jarring. I lowered the car to its maximum ability so I'm careful where I drive it.
