How difficult is it to ensure that both sides are riding at the same height?

We do have a dedicated M2 fitment that is 19" x 9" and 19" x 10.5" with ETs for the M2. With this fitment you would have no issue being lowered and our recommended tire sizes are 245/35 and 285/30.
Will a wider front tire fit this setup?

As wanofakind01 posted, I'm also interested in any long-term review/input anyone can provide regarding the KW HAS setup. I just ordered this for my incoming M2.

Two Weeks ago Manthey Racing at the Nürburgring installed the HAS Kit in my LCI M2 and did a complet alignment for my driving style. It rides like stock, only the short little bumps up to 60-70km/h are a little harder than before.

The main part for me was, that the car is now perfectly alignment with front 50% and rear 50%. Also the car has now front 1,5° and rear 1,9° Camber.

It now turns nearly perfect for me and the mid / end corner grip is perfect.

Next week it will be track tested, but I´m very confident with this setup!

I didn´t go that low - main focus was just some camber and better balance.

The sheet says: 605mm in the front and 599 at the back

Cool. I'm glad you're happy with them. Mine are getting installed this week. I just need to be careful of going too low because I'm also putting on a front lip spoiler and don't want to rip it off. Have you considered adding some spacers to push the wheels out a bit?

Mine got installed today. The tech had it on a lift adjusting the height settings when I arrived to see how it was going. I snapped a few pics and thought I'd post them here in case anyone wanted to get an up-close look at the setup.

They're thrice the price of regular springs and halfway there for a proper coilover kit

Some people on the m4 forum changed them for prematurely wearing other components of suspension

How are the roads at where you live?

I live in Melbourne Australia - we have a, b & c roads, even d roads - so all types.

And 2 trips to Tasmania each year for a group spirited drive on amazing roads.

No issues with other suspension components.
