KW V1 on my 220

Just installed a set of KW V1 on my 220. Ride is slightly harsher on rougher roads but similar to stock on smoother ones. Cornering feels a lot better, although I don't have much driving experience so can't really be too specific about how so - it just feels a lot more stable. The drop isn't bad either

Shoutout to ReinArt Design HK for helping me order & install - check out their page, some very cool projects going on there!

Springs settled slightly (front lip clearance was about 11cm when first installed, now 9.5cm). Only scraped it very lightly on a few speedbumps (and even then I can't really feel where it's scraped). The ride is slightly less bumpy now, but I want to reserve judgement until I get non-RFTs installed.

Ride feels a lot smoother (but more road noise...) with the PSS.
