Air suspension from KMW is not safe at all, read.
Alright I'm gonna go out and take a picture of this later one but I wanna give anyone a heads up on this if you're considering air suspension. I got mine this summer from KMWperformance.com. Yeah, it was a good kit to start with, then the back was leaking so I fixed it. Then the back was leaking again in other spots since last month, so I called them to let them know. They were asses about it and wouldnt have it covered by warrenty even though they authorized me doing a self repair before. So I spent today ripping out my trunk so I could get the the struts to take them off. Here's where it's unsafe...the passenger side one was ok, the leaks were around one of the seals, manufacturers fault however because the o-rings are crap...but the driver side one was about to pop! What happens is that when they made it, the didnt measure the distance between that and part of the gas tank. It's been rubbing against the tank all this time and it looked like a tire that lost all it's treadware and was down to nothing but threads. And you can't even see where the damage is just by looking at them on the car because it's on the other side. So I have to say it's a dangerous kit because of that and I guarantee you it hasn't been taken care of because I doubt anyone has noticed it yet. I'll keep you updated on what they do for me.
