KW V1's on E90

NemX · 11-11-2014, 01:26 PM

Hi Guys - looking for input advice on the attached pics. This is the front driver side of my e90. Shop is saying replace the springs and that the defect isn't cosmetic. Anyone had luck with this issue as a warranty claim, i'd have to replace both front springs at once i'm guessing, how dangerous is this in the interim to drive around on....

Chip the paint away, I'm willing to bet the spring is fine.

KW shipped me two front replacement springs under warranty :-) they said its a one time thing that they'd do for me.... but you're probably correct if I chipped the paint away... i guess i'm just out the labour cost as I already installed them....thx for quick replies.
