    I wish I had bought my coil overs from kw… whilst they were made by kw… the after sales service has left me with a car I can’t trust for nearly 5 months. The shaft separated from the top mount on my rear shock at 100kph… thankfully with only minor issues… however it’s now been since the 21st of January and my car isn’t fixed. The company stated they would send a replacement out on the 21st of February… but that hasn’t happened and as I’ve published this fact… Squadra Sportiva isn’t likely to ever send a replacement out.
