I have this and admittedly never drove an M2 without it. The ride is nice and tight, but can be jarring on bad roads. I guess the stock suspension may be the same, with less rebound control, according to other posts I've read. The car does look really good with this drop though.
I've had creaking problems with my driver side front. Took it to the dealer and they said the purches were dirty. They cleaned them up and the noise went away for about 500 miles and came back again. I removed the wheel and noticed the spring can be rotated and when it does it can go off center in the purch. There's no tabs to stop the spring from rotating. I am not sure if this is normal but it's how mine is. Once I got it to be as centered as possible, the noise seems to have gone away again. It's only been about 200 miles so we will see how long it lasts this time. |

I have KW HAS and love them a lot. Ride quality is almost the same as stock and you can set your height however you like.

You mean adaptive suspension? The M2 (and M2c) does not have AS.

Obviously they could have made a better job of the stock items in the first place, but... |

All of them require cutting/modification to the car to install. None their parts make it seem like there was any R&D done for our cars. The intake literally just looks like it was carried over from the M235 without a second thought. I would much rather put my trust and money behind a company like KW (who helped engineer the M Performance coilovers for our cars), but hey, that's just me. |
