Default Raised my KW suspension - and RARE KW HLS2 issue?

So, I gave in... My KW V3 Coilover height has been raised 15mm (good reasons explained in the video), dampers stiffened by 2 clicks bump and rebound and alignment done all at Abbey Motorsport!

I was really impressed with the detail they went into and how my feedback on handling was taken into account in choosing the new alignment settings. If you've not had yours checked in the last year – or you've lowered your car and not had it checked again since it's settled – get booked in with Abbey Motorsport (in Oxted UK).

DISCLAIMER: I thought that the rake had been reduced but seems it's an optical illusion of the increased clearance – as I found out after that they did measure clearance all around and it was 15 mm equal increase front and rear. My bad! There's going to be a follow up so I'll set that straight in a future video...

We also found a rare issue with the KW Front Lift... Both Abbey and KW are on it and will get it sorted (has a 2 year warranty)

Here's the story so far...
