I'm 6"5 and couldn't imagine the M8GC sitting any lower....

Guaranteed to never miss leg day getting in and out.... at least for the left side of my body lol.

Maybe I missed the post, but curious how you went from the H&R springs being great to switching it up to KW? Leaning more towards H&R. Even though it will be my DD it'll really only be on the road like 3x a week.

I know you used the springs from the G30 M550 wonder if the M850 specific springs are less harsh.

The H&R's resulted in a horrible ride. The KW are superior in comfort; no loss of handling either and they create the perfect look. Get the KW.

Love the look. A drop is a must. Curious what made the ride horrible?

Spring rate; couldn't deal with even the smallest pothole; the KW absorbs bumps as well as stock setup

I need to lower mine as well.

Was going to go with H&R springs but perhaps I should reconsider.

Forgive me for this question but are KW just springs or is it a coilover setup?

Thanks

I'm technically challenged (read "I'm totally clueless") in these areas beyond knowing what they do and how well they work.

r33_RGSport isn't and will know.

KW that I supply limeypride and few of local customers are the HAS.
It is Height Adjustable Spring, not a full coilover.
It still utilizing the factory shock, therefore you will still retain the EDC function.

I do have it in stock if you want to get it done.
