Most Comfortable Springs That Eliminate Wheel Gap

BrntRubber · 04-02-2021, 03:50 PM

I am debating between M550iX springs, KW HAS or MSS adjustable springs. Comfort and no wheel gap are the two main goals.

My car is a non comp as I wanted comfort. I am going for 21s and springs and don't want lose any fillings or have my chiropractor on speed dial LOL.

If you guys could please share your experiences and some lixs that would be very helpful.

If comfort and wheel gap are your priorities I would choose the HR 550's. I've had both this kit and the KW HAS .... can't speak for MSS.

I just installed HR M550's on my non comp, and will say it's a pretty significant change in comfort. It's definitely a lot firmer and harsher. Something you'll notice if you got a non comp for comfort.

Thanks for chiming in. Did you get an alignment after?

These are the KW’s on the lowest setting in the front and NOT on the lowest setting in the rear. If you’re not looking to go lower in the front, these ride extremely well. I didn’t notice any increased harshness, and are not bouncy one bit.

This looks great and almost identical to the H&Rs.?

What is putting me off the MSS system is the wheel gap at the front

I'm getting an alignment done this week.

I almost went with MSS but kept seeing how much wheel gap there was, and KW HAS was my first choice, until I realized how much cost difference it was to just get the M550 springs lol.

The comfort isn't something that makes me regret doing this setup, but if you are set on comfort, IMO you will notice the difference between oem and H&R.

Please let me know how it feels after alignment.
