Next upgrade after KW HAS to limit bounciness?

Have a 2018 M2 with KW HAS and am just not enjoying the bounciness of the ride. I know the logical thing to do is upgrade to full coilovers but I don't want to drop all that money (yes, I know you get what you pay for). Just curious if there is anything else "in between" or incremental I could do to limit bounciness without investing in a full coilover setup?

Thanks!

Maybe look at some different dampers.

The next incremental would be new struts but then you've spent the money towards coilovers already.

Buy once cry once. Sell the HAS and get a full coil over set.

It should be possible to use alternative springs with a lower spring rate as well.

I would bite the bullet and upgrade to coilovers. I highly doubt different springs will help as it's still mismatched with the stock dampners

Depends how low you have them set, you could be running into the bump stops if you're all the way down on the adjusters, but that would only be on pretty significant bumps.

As everyone else has said, you've got to get coils if you want a better ride. I would suggest the M performance set to one click softer than the standard setting.

Can't be fixed.

Sell it and go MPS. It stings, but you'll be glad you did...every time you get in the car.
