Default KWs need to be revalved

I am just starting this auto-X season and I noticed that my driver's side coilover is leaking ever so slightly. I've ran, at times very hard, on these coilovers for about 50,000 miles. I am due for revalving and a rebuild. I sent KW an email, and haven't received a response yet. Where should i send my coilovers to get revalved?

I need it done quickly and effectively.

Thanks!

I believe KW does this themselves. I don't know how quickly, though.

Sometimes a phone call gets more repsonse from people than an email, by the way.

called: 1-800-445-3767 KW themselves.

Free lifetime rebuilds, 2 week turnaround time. You must call and request a tech sheet. You must also be able to prove you were the original owner.

Thanks! Problem solved.

Cool, thanks.

How do you prove you were the original owner? I don't believe, for instance, that I retained any receipt. I would have to go back and doublecheck that I even have saved any correspondence with the vendor.

That's exactly right and that's the needle in the haystack I am currently looking for. First thing I need to do is figure out who I purchased them from...

I guess if you have KW comps like me they send them back to Germany for rebuild...

I'm running STU2

a street tire class for the S2K. I'm not sure if higher spring rates would achieve a positive benefit.

yeah, but if you could ask while dealing with them, I'm sure many of us here would love to know what they say, if its not too much trouble of coarse. good luck and tia
