Gains from a suspension?
The HAS is a great suspension for these cars. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. I can refer you to a dealer that has a great price on these if you haven't purchased already.

I have the KW HAS on my GC. Lowered a little over an inch. Rides perfect.

Was wondering the same. I currently have Eibachs on my M5 and they ride great. Im thinking if i should just stick to Eibachs when my GC arrives or try the HAS. Anyone with the KW setup in the Northeast with these terrible roads?!?

I don't know the exact settings, but I did add spacers 10mm all around
There are no Eibachs available for the M6 |

Im going with the HAS kit for my F12... have heard nothing but great things and its a huge plus having the option to adjust the height.

Have installed HAS on the coupe, convertible and gran coupes now. All positive feedback. Both the KW HAS and Dinan Sleeve kit work the same. KW offers a lower stance over the Dinan but both function just as we would expect it. After the pictures below we actually adjusted the suspension lower. But the client wanted to get used to the lowered stance first since we also installed Vorsteiner front splitter and rear diffuser. |

If i lived out west of down south, I would opt for 21" wheels in a heartbeat. But not in the concrete jungle. |

You are not replacing the shock You are transforming your stock shock to a coil over If you keep the adjustment within range that the parts come with. You will enjoy the ride quality. If you adjust the KW kit past what is recommended, then you loose that. |

The drop is pretty aggressive. No complaints either other then it is nice to have the ability to adjust a preferred height if you needed it This is our shops F06 M6 on 21's White we had H&R springs. After getting it wrapped I installed the HAS kit. |

Car sits perfectly.
My local shop advised me against the H&R spring drop... stating the ride will be very "bouncy" for NYC roads. They recommended the KW HAS kit. |

It all depends on the height that they are setting the adjustment to. You have EDC shocks I assume. So really, there is no adjustment to the shock travel because it is electronic. You are just setting the height of the spring which you are going to lower then stock anyways. Just my input but I don't see how the 2 would make a difference unless you did not have EDC and you were actually adjusting the stiffness, etc like a tradition coil over suspension setup. |

The KW just rides / feels better. H&R on these cars are bouncy and not appealing at all. Same when I had my M4 and tried out the H&R. Took them off the next day they were so bad.
