Jose had both and the M550i actually lowers the front more and he felt the compression and rebound were very close in nature. Plus my guy had the M550i's readily available within 24 hours of my ask. Pricing while not an issue is about 66% less too. After enough pics of the drop and member feedback; I put my trust in my good forum brothers and thankfully and as expected their input paid off. Edit: I have probably 18 sets of HAS over the years thru branded and private labeling (Ferrari and Lambo were the private) and in reality out of all the drops I had I literally only adjusted one set after the initial drop. So the main or only gain for me with HAS is if the spring rates were dialed up and the H&R's were too bouncy. But in this case I like the compression and rebound.

Euro, yours seems to sit lower than most of those I have seen on KW HAS. Did you take out the helpers? I know you have spacers too which helps the look on the stock wheels

All bushings/helpers were installed... nothing left out. It could also be the fact that my car is black and blends with the tires wheel gap etc. But I've also heard from locals that my car sits a bit lower than other M5s with the KW HAS.

Eurohorses you've got a great setup, and now I'm contemplating dialing it down just a bit more

This is mine with a little more settling in the rear (60 miles or so) which I posted on page 1 at the very end so it might have gone un noticed. I think KW goes lower:

I'll add the following: 1. If you want a moderate drop (lower than Base or Competition) then KW HAS is the way to go as you can easily balance the wheel gap on all 4 corners. In this setup the rear fender will not be right over the tire but rather about a finger or finger and half over the tire as will be the fronts. It is also a complete system rather than a simple spring replacement and works very well. Performance (body roll) and ride quality is great and you can continue to adjust until you're content. 2. If you like an aggressive drop with your fenders over the tire on all four corners then the H&R M550i springs will do a decent job as it drops the front ever slightly more than the KW HAS at it's lowest setting. KW HAS can get the rears even lower than the H&R M550 springs but the fronts will not go as low essentially creating the dreaded "reverse rake". 3. If you want a perfect aggressive drop on all four corners you're only choice today would be KW V4 but the price point is painful. I've not seen too many cars yet on the MP HAS or Dinan HAS but those may yield interesting results as well. If you seek a moderate, balanced drop I would go KW HAS all day; quality is 2nd to none as is the performance of this kit. If you seek something a little more aggressive the HR M550i is your best option; be certain you like this look as these are fixed height springs and will not be able to be adjusted. If you seek perfection then KW V4 would be the route I would choose; you'll lose EDC with this kit however. If none of this suits you then explore MP or Dinan HAS kits.

I think the reason that it's kinda of tricky with the f90 is because the fender well shape from from to back is different. I think the front fender well goes up higher. Could be wrong though lol

That's when I always ask the customer who is doing coilover or HAS, whether they want to keep the fender gap ratio or level it out for the looks.

yep, thats why i always rake the front a bit but rear isnt as tucked.. r33_RGSport windendos photo looks great as a starting point when we do the install.. i like eurohorses stance even better but wont look that good on a brighter color.
i just need to lower the darn car right now, it looks like 4x4 with new wheels since oem tires are stretched a bit so gap appears to be even greater! |

windtendo , can you give me your measurement from upper lip to the fender? Front and Rear. Or ground to the fender, or center wheel to the fender. Haha. Before I got flamed for not doing a correct way to measure.

Im really considering these now. Are there any negatives to this handling, comfort, bounciness, etc to these springs versus stock?

Id say on a smooth road I cant tell the difference but there is a bigger rebound on dips but nothing that would drive me crazy. Im glad I did the swap.
