When you say "bumper" does it mean spring or shock? Anyway it cannot be normal that either brake after 5000km!!
I've had mine for 25000km without issues and I expect lot of km:s before change. Quote:

Interestingly, the mechanics at my BMW garage told me that even the stock coilovers of the M4 GTS break easily... Last edited by Io; 03-08-2020 at 06:42 AM.. |

On perfect, track like roads the car feels great... but if you are driving the car hard into turns, or up highway on ramps and there are any bumps or imperfections in the road, the car feels like it wants to fly away or takeoff and it has an odd amount of side to side sway. In many ways its un nerrving and kind of makes me lack confidence when driving hard... considering the Mpss to help fix this... shouldn't have to do this in a 60K + M Car. |

After all of this, I put on MCS 2NR and they are a big improvement over the MP. |

Do the MPS, you'll love it! It's more complaint on normal roads and you can properly corner the car with lots of confidence and precision as it should be from the get go. The rear is now planted perfectly well, no bouncing anymore. The MPS transforms the entire car, into a much better car. By far the best and most important mod to this car, and at least for me, it's night and day!

Before buying my 2018 M2, I test drove a demo car equipped with Mps suspension and it rode better than my 2018 on bad roads.
I latter test drive my friends car on track with Mps suspension and it was much much better than mine. I then ordered Ohlins

In a nutshell: both are comparable in quality of ride to each other. Which is slightly stiffer than OEM. Ohlins is of higher quality and of course price than Bilstein (due to its "monotube" design with better heat dissipation) |

0 issues. Ride quality is near identical to stock, the car just sits lower and feels more planted in the corners. It's not much stiffer at all, people are always surprised it rides as soft as it does. Obviously it isn't a Lexus, but for a lowered M car it's very tame.

I don't track either, this is just a fun weekend car for the backroads. These have been perfect for almost 3 years now and I'd definitely recommend them to anyone. If I had any complaints about this kit I'd switch to something else because I'm very picky. I had the H&R sport springs before the KWHAS and they were great too, I just didn't like the lack of height adjustability which is why I switched. Ride height (not quality) was my main priority but by a happy coincidence, these ride amazing. Win win.

My dealer's tech--very experienced installing other suspension--ran into a few hiccups w/the MPS but did a fantastic job. To my dealer's credit they held to the 5.5 hours. Alignments are typically a BMW "value" service to be competitive with independents. My dealer charges $149. HTH. |

What is an MPE HAS kit?
MPE = M Performance Exhaust HAS = Height Adjustable Springs BMW only makes coilovers for the M2/M2C, they don't make height-adjustable springs: https://www.getbmwparts.com/oem-part...kgUGFnZQ%3D%3D |
