My front near-side damper has developed play in the joint where the top half of the damper slides into the other. They're KW Variant 3's. I'm told I'll need to get both front dampers rebuilt. Does anyone know if there's someone who can service KWs in the UK, or is it ship to Germany job?

Also, anyone else experienced the same?

Probably around 20k - 25k miles. Most of them on the road, with probably 20 track days in that time.

I emailed KW and they have volunteered to rebuild the units for free. So I'm obviously very pleased with that outcome.

In UK or Germany? My KW v3s are fine, but you never know when an address could be useful in future...

I emailed both.

It was the email I sent to the German address that was forwarded to the UK office, who then replied to me, to arrange it being shipped to Germany...

Germany:
service@kwautomotive.de

UK:
