IND | BMW M Performance Coilover Kit
Finally released! Have a set here at IND and took some photos. The M Performance sleeve kit for the F90 M5 allows a large range of height adjustment while retaining the factory electronic damping control. The factory spring perches are removed from the front dampers, and BMWs own threaded height-adjustable perches are installed. The kit includes height adjustable spring perches for the front and rear, strengthened and shortened bump stops and shock sleeves to protect the OE BMW dampers.The BMW M Performance H.A.S. kit is EDC compatible!

How does the drop compare to something like the H&R F90 Sport springs?
Also, any sense for it the spring rate on these is supposed to align with the base M5 springs or if they are stiffer and similar to the M5 Comp springs?

Man...all you do is complain about missing out on the 2020 updates, add'l product releases, etc. There will ALWAYS be change...if you always want to have the latest and greatest options, then you might as well never buy/lease anything...you'll always lose as something new will always come out.
With that said, I suspect this is a aftermarket only option...I wouldn't expect this to be a port installed option. You ordered an amazing car...just enjoy it.

Does this kit lower more than KW? I know a few have not liked the max drop on KW especially in the front. Hopefully this allows for a larger range of adjustability

i don't see why this would go lower than KW HAS, factory shocks are valved for specific amount of travel.. adapting any HAS kit can only reduce that and especially ride quality if you bottom out the kit, but I'm curious to see the comparison nonetheless.

For 3K you might as well buy actual coilovers.. pricing should be no different than whats available for F8X chassis, if its more than its the result of M5 tax, lol

MSRP is $1860 for the parts...so install another $1100 or so...that sounds about right.

I have H&R F90 Sport springs on my M5 Comp now...overall really happy with them. However, I would be interested in seeing how these M performance springs look once installed.

So about couple hundred more than KW, not bad for OEM part. (I saw getbmwparts.com) already has it listed for $1517, $1100 is pretty overpriced for install unless it includes corner weight + alignment.

Well, after seeing the effort involved in installing the H&R Springs on my M5 Comp...I'd say it's a lot more labor intensive than one would expect. To get to the rear struts, you have to take apart a good portion of the rear interior...which is not all that hard...but is time consuming.

Has anyone installed the M Performance HAS kit yet? I'm not a fan of how the KW HAS kit that has the front having wider gaps compared to the rear.

The front height comes into play if you're looking for a more aggressive drop. If you're looking for a moderate drop it is simple to get all four corners to have the same tire / fender gap. If you go aggressive (bottomed out or close to it) on the rears you can't match the fronts as they simply don't go as low as the rears. The flip side is this aggressiveness will come with more rebound and bounce. It will be interesting to see the M-Performance Kit and how it looks, and more importantly, feels. I've had KW HAS on two F10 M5's as well as my F90 M5C and have been pleased overall. In the end, how low you want to go will play a huge factor in the suspension you choose. The M550i H&R springs look really good if you want a drop that's more aggressive. KW HAS or H&R M5 springs both work well for a less aggressive drop with the KW having the benefit of adjustability.

I wish either BMW or KW would give their customers more information on the spring rates. All I've heard from the KW distributor is that they're progressive, so we can't give you a rate. Perhaps that's true, but they could easily put them on a test rig, start pressure readings at installed height, and then give a pound reading every 1/4" of travel until coil bind, or whatever the suspension travel is. That way we'd have a way to compare the kits. I've asked IND if they might do that, or have Fall Line do that, but doubt either will do it. Not much incentive for them to take the trouble. I'm considering spending the extra money for the BMW HAS just to see. I had the KW v3 on my F10 and thought it was very good, but I'm not going to spend the money for their v4 for the F90. |
