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?

Designo White AMG GTS
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.

awesome. is it less harsh and jarring than stock? i've heard it is and would love to improve that on this car as it drives me nuts on bad roads.

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.
