Car keeps going into Sport 1 suspension after KW install

Hi guys,

I installed a set of KW HAS front springs and rear links on my w218 cls63 and after about 5min of driving my car will automatically go into sport 1 suspension mode. If I press the button nothing happens at all and if I restart the car it goes back to comfort but after a couple of minutes will go back to sport 1. Anyone else experience this?

Go check to make sure all your height sensors are installed correctly.

Could be an issue with suspension links.
I had a very similar issue with plastic aftermarket links; one in the front broke and was just hanging.
Car was drivable, but suspension could not be adjusted.
