Need to see some pictures of your car with the adjuster resmoved!!

That's my plan also as we discussed previously.

How much did it lower it as opposed to the 1.2 max??
Any complaints of it riding differently without it installed?!

Put some up on your Instagram

Are you sure the rear springs are installed correctly? Shouldn't the adjuster pad be at the top?

I installed the rears KW HAS and having difficulties with the front ones. Do I need shorter sway bar links for the fronts? What am I doing wrong.

No, you do not need.

You absolutely need an alignment (and corner balancing) after this type of install...

KW just released a new version with smaller perches. We just received our first shipment and took some photos.

I'll snap some updated pics soon, I have them maxed out too. Might also need to remove that adjuster thing.
How much lower does the rear get without the adjuster?

Would not need any spacers for this kit.

I had the same setup on my E90 M3 for 5 years. Was perfect. Rides like stock and lower/more adjustable than springs alone.

Will be putting them on my M2 for sure.

What's the benefit of the HAS over say a standard spring combo? Obviously the height adjustment, but how often will that really happen?

the fact that you can do an incremental adjustment (and when you want, as you noted).

Like for me, I would like a .8" drop, which I don't think any springs have.

Looks great this HAS setup. Rides like stock. But is there a improvement when turning in? Feeling, grip?

A lot depends on how you have your HAS set up.

Too slammed and might look good but dynamics will be ho-hum.

One benefit of any height-adjustable setup is the option to get the car corner balanced to get more from the upgraded hardware.

Any one know what the actual spring rates are? Higher than stock? Are there any options to spring rate?

How will the OEM shocks handle these over time?

I know with a regular spring setup can often cause oem shocks to take on more wear/tear over time due to differing rates etc

Has anyone ran these with Vorsteiner VFF-103 19x9 ET22 and 19x10.5 ET34 255 with 255/35 front and 275/35 rear? I'm worried about rubbing on the inside of the wheel once lowered.

That is our F8X fitment, it does work for the M2 however it is slightly aggressive so you would not be able to run those tires while also being very low.

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.
