OK I'm back in my house 11:30 pm,today we align the car with strings,corner balance very nice etc.
The KW HLS goes up and down very nice,quiet and with good speed.I used the super low setting and in the front I have a 0 fender tire gap maybe a little bit less the rear 1 finger (I wanted the rear to be lower bit it is not possible,it will come down when the springs brake in and I will have 0 gap )
The ride quality is good,I have to learn to use and set the shock adjustment clicks.
My geometry is like this:
FRONT
2.3 camber (I think I will go with 2° to help tire wear)
0° toe
GMG bar middle
REAR
1.9 camber
2mm diff ea/side TOE
GMG bar stiff
Something that I need to know if it is normal,if I raise the suspension it goes up and then after aprox 8-10 sec the susp comes down automatically you can hear a little click and then it lowers.I thought you can keep the hight susp setting any time and when you reach certain speed the car will auto lower..No idea we connected the KW electronic module to the CAM BUS etc.

I don't think it should do that. Definitely something's up with the control module if it wants to lower the car after a few seconds.
It'll settle in a few days and be even lower. Did you get the HLS for front and back or just the front?

Front and rear,the system is really cool I just have to be able to keep the hi possition untill I reach 50mph.
Maybe this is adjustable in the electronic module,I hope KW tell me to look in that are and use a little screw to adj this jijiji
I am happy and will finr a solution for sure,maybe I connected something wrong.

Thanks for the info,we will check the CAN BUS connections tomorrow I think we don't have a good contact in some wire.
I will go to the track soon and will compare Bilstein/TA coil overs with KW HLS.
