Thank you all. So I looked at my car suspension and I can see that rear shock is KW 860 1101. I am guessing that I have coilovers. I have to find out somehow which version of KW do I have exactly...can't really see the front struts/springs very well..

So given that I have coil-overs (I will post as soon as I confirm this), what all do I need to get done: height adjustment --> then corner weighing --> then wheel alignment?

Should I schedule a service for these three things? Are all needed or can I skip something?

Regards,

If you have KW the only thing they make for our car is coil-overs, and with that being said it is just an allen key to adjust them, you need to jack/lift the car pull the wheels off and adjust each one to match, if you do 5 full rotations up on one side then the other should apply along with front and rear then drive a bit and adjust to your liking, and then corner balance, and alignment.

Im not sure what size the allen key is i think it is a 1.5mm but maybe someone can correct me on that.
