Possibly something he flicked up off the road?

I'm gonna do a bit of ringing around during the week about kw servicing/parts etc. I'll post up what I find out after that. My left rear wheel arch sits 10mm lower than the right. I have checked the spring perches and they are adjusted the same so I may have a saggy spring on that side. I need to check a few more things before biting the bullet and ordering more springs but it doesn't look great at the moment.
phoenix and XT43 like this.

So not much good news to report on this one.

I did some ringing around and basically no one in Perth can rebuild/service the kw's. Several shops say they send them to Wilkinsons, who say 'they' send them on to Scuderia Autoart over east, they are apparently the official distributor of Kw products bla bla bla.

Scuderia said for basic servicing/rebuild they can do it in house but if it is a major overhaul and replacing internals they send them back to Germany.

Spoke to Scuderia on the phone a few weeks ago and emailed them the details of my coilovers at their request, so they could quote me on a service/rebuild and I haven't from them since....

Eat a dick Scuderia.

For those of us with KW's that sucks but doesnt surprise me sadly. Great suspension, just have to hope they dont break though and then have to go through all that shit to get them fixed up properly.

I'll fuck mine off if they fail, not interested in sending them to Germany.

Unfortunately you are probably right. Doubt very much it would be that cost effective to send them all the way there. Have you looked into that out of interest to see what it would all cost or you really not that bothered to even see.
