KW have just launched this ubercool product : -
http://www.kwsuspensions.de/HLS-Special/video.htmlBut!! It's currently only for a few supercars and costs anything from £2,800 - £6,000.
However, I had a long chat with KW today and their German team is currently developing their HLS system for other than expensive supercars. They fully realise that there is a healthy market for 'lesser' cars and that the price needs to be reduced dramatically. Currently there is all sorts of electronic wizardry which needn't be included in the wider market.
Our beloved Mk5 GTI suffers on ramps etc from having a relatively long front overhang and so the problem in indoor carparks etc is very real.
I was assured that once their HLS had been developed for the GTI (on their list), VW Racing (who are tailor making my KW suspension) can easily swop springs to the same ratings I will have so I could have HLS and still retain my handling characteristics. It would be a simple toggle switch operated manually - Perfect! Yet another reason why I'm glad I have gone to VWR - I invariably have to wait weeks and weeks for a workshop slot and dates change at the last minute but it's always been soooo worth it!
Of course it remains to be seen how affordable the HLS will be for us mortals who don't drive supercars but KW know they need to price it right to achieve the sales.
