KW HAS Lowering Kit Installed
Finally had the chance to post this after a some drive time with these installed. Like all KW products these are a great lowering option compared to the full V3 full coil over suspension which for the f82 is a very pricey alternative.Always had great experiences with KW on previous cars and when this kit was released i was ready to purchase. Well KW wasn’t ready for me and COVID delays had orders waiting 4 months +. Not a patient person and decided to wait. i believe there is less than a handful of these kits out there installed and haven’t seen on the forums post anything so here i am
i got lucky and another forum member was selling a brand new kit. no wait ride is maybe 10 percent more stuff. Rides like stock but lower. front sits higher than the rear and i have no more room in the front and have prob another 10mm in the rear. letting the springs settle and going to go back for adjustment. just one pic for now. no rubbing on my 21 BC Forged wheels. can’t figure out why the pic is upside down. |

Hi. Did it alter the steering feel at all? I have had KW HAS on four cars previously and have been very impressed. I will certainly fit to my M8
Cheers |

i have the suspension on comfort in my M settings. it is stiffer but in comfort you really don’t feel the difference
glad i found these. i literally ordered a set of HR but was really hesitant as never really like any of my previous cars on HR. lucky i was able to cancel my order. funny cause i usually start with HR, hate the ride and go with KW |

i would say closer to 1.0 rear does sit lower than the front especially settling. front is at lowest and rear had about 10mm still. taking the car back for adjustment and alignment finally. going to raise the rear a little to even it out
no gap and slight tuck in the rear. maybe half a finger in the front. overall happy with the drop. ride quality is close to stock. If you had KW has before you already know ride quality is similar to stock |

wheels are bc forged hca381 21’s. brushed bronze lips and gunmetal centers.
my second set of BC. couldn’t be happier with them and price is significantly cheaper than other options. no compromise on quality |
