Unhappy Suspension that does not drop ride height

Hello From India

I have a 2019 M2C and drive on broken tarmac roads here in India and the roads here also have hude speed breakers. The stock ride height is just about OK on 80% of the speed breakers here.

I am looking to get a suspension system that does not drop the ride height at all. Any suggestions.

I deal would be something line KW DCC but they drop the ride height by 20mm.

If you fit the reinforcement rings between the strut tops and the body, that will give you another 15mm at the front. A similar approach at the back should give you the clearance you need.

MCS. You can make it higher than stock if you like. Insanely adjustable. More compliant than stock and depending on the springs you buy zero body role. I am using 700lb front and 1000lb rear springs and was scared my bones would rattle. They are less harsh than stock, no joke.

Fit KW then install c clip spacers to raise if highest setting is too low - similar to oem c clips fitted to M4GTS - see my post in the link below
