And you will love the compression and rebound of the springs. I cant believe how much better it is than the H&R's on the F90 M5.

I went 35% all the way around... I wanted some ability to see inside with the two tone interior.

Same here but 30% on the coupe windows plus the asinine little window for the back seats which technically could have been darker by AZ tint laws but wanted a uniform look and easy visibility into the amazing Fiona Red/Black interior. What did you guys go with for the rear window? I did 15% which works well (have used it on all prior cars) vs 5% aka limo black.

Enjoy in great health, we used to say this and don't mean much back in the days before the pandemic! Now we get to appreciate the depth of this wish! Health can be the most unsung hero ever till it's lost! I'm sorry, but have seen lots and lots of people die of COVID-19 and it's just changing my perspective quite a bit! Hope this vaccine delivers the goods! It's been a week! Cant wait to put my hand (No pun intended), on the second dose! Gotta count 3 weeks Cheers folks Sorry didn't mean to be melodramatic

Its alot better Dean--- there are just too many bounces in the H&R's (for a lack of a better description). I do think the H&R's are two stage springs while the KW's are progressive in nature. The KW's soak up the bumps and undulations much better. Now keep in mind Im using the comparison on same roads but with the M5 vs the M8. But its not marginally better, its much better.

I was wondering about this, I had KW on my 335i and loved them. Put H&R on my 650xi GC and it wasn't bad. People have said the H&R are decent but I'm a bit of a skeptic since the M8 GC Comp rides harsher stock than my 650GC did. Might be worth the extra $ to go KW. |

From my slightly educated research the KW's are progressive so under load they are taut but as the load (speed, road dynamics, pressure, etc) decrease... they "progressively" spring rate down and soften up. Thus over lighter undulations at lower speeds you dont feel the bounce or imperfections while at speed over a change in surface they tighten up and compress and rebound very tight to avoid that "launch" feel. While the H&R's are a fixed rate so you get the same compression and rebound on good and bad roads which yields that unwanted drive feel. Dont get me wrong, Ive lowered quite a few cars on H&R and have it on my Audi R8 now but those cars dampers and chassis's are much different. I run KW on the AMG GTS and Techart on the Porsche; the C63S is stock. I have had better setups with my Ferrari's, Lambo, R8's, AMG GTS- but with magnetorheological dampers. Those are the best out there in regards to dialing in the harsh and remaining compliant.

Congrats on the M8 Vic,
Does your car have OPFs fitted ?. Getting lost as to what markets has what fitted these days. Over here we are having all noise mapped out, so interested if the resonator delete is a valid mod ?, all the best. |

Thanks Simon--- based on my build date (12/2019) and the review of the oem cans- I do not have them. So adding the res delete gave me further sound increases in db's. Now I dont have the same tonal gains from the Remus but the overall loudness of the car is pretty much where I want it. I would definitely do the delete if was on the other side of the lake.

I swear you will love it--- cheap and reversable especially on the GC. The coupe and vert have that cross bar which requires more labor. A good reputable muffler shop can do it in about 45 min to hour, rack to unload.
