HAS Kits
I've been looking for a proper write up/member review and impressions on the M Performance HAS kit. I've also been hoping someone with an LCI has put either that or the KW HAS Kit on. I've had the KW and 12mm spacers along with 295 in the rear of my M4 for years and never experienced any issues with rubbing. Not sure if I'll go as low and aggressive with the M5 as I have with my cars before.. So i'm VERY interested in all info!
Having experienced every delay in the world regarding deliveries over the last year, I'm ordering my parts ASAP for my LCI M5 now that i've been given a production number. Any pics? Reviews? Or if I missed a thread with this info.. help a guy out! Thanks BRCHP

I have a 2021 M5c and installed MSS kit at first which was a complete failure. Both front and rear sat a little higher than stock on the lowest setting. Also the car did not exhibit improved behavior under load and in the corners. I got into an argument with MSS and went back to what I knew best, KW.
The ride is very comparable to a stock M5c (not sure about pre-lci models. I know LCI switched to M8c suspension), but I do get more feedback from the road. It could be a combination of lowering and aggressive spacers. Pictures that you see are not on the lowest setting. Excuse the extra trunk space on the roof. I have mine and kids snowboards in there for the short snow season in Cali.

I went with the KW HAS as well. I also, coming from F80 M3, had great experience with their V3 coil overs. These springs made the F90 sit exactly where I wanted it. The ride quality has not changed so dramatically that it is worth writing about. It is negligible and I’m more than happy with how the car looks and feels.

Just a little question.
I'm a little bit confused. I ordered the M Performance sport suspension HAS for a Lci Comp. Look like people talk about two kit for HAS. One from BMW https://www.getbmwparts.com/oem-part...QtNGwtdjgtZ2Fz One from KW https://www.bimmerworld.com/Suspensi...AS-F90-M5.html The post from IND (https://f90.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1620930) look like de BMW one, and the one show up there look like KW. For people who have installed the BMW HAS kit, are you able to lower the car from the standard suspension on the competition model? If yes, how much mm ? Do you have any measurements that you would like to share with your setup with some picture ? It will be easier for me to give directions to the dealer when they are going to install it Another question. This is the first time that I will install an adjustable suspension. Every time the height changes, do you have to perform an alignment? ?

Does the MPerformance HAS kit have a stiffer feel than my stock 2022 m5 comp? I actually want to make it feel more stiff and responsive. My stock 2019 m5 comp had a better raw feel IMO. Wondering if the MPerformance HAS kit has stiffer springs etc. Any help would be very much appreciated. Schedule to have it installed next week on Wednesday.

I cannot speak for "MP HAS kit" But I can go into tremendous detail on the KW HAS kit | Carbahn Ball Joints | Dinan Tension links | Future Classic Spacers | Michelin Concoction and it's splendid

Interesting. How intensive were the ball joints and tension links install? Any concerns with factory warranty? I saw your post on them and it’s very enticing.

Ugh, you and josec70 are heavily influencing this months credit card bill and INDs June/July topline revenue goals. I’m doing the MPerformance suspension next week and then doing the ball joints the week after. My biggest issue is steering feel with this new car. My 2019 m5 comp had much better feel IMO.

We get a cut on all of the sales… KIDDING! (Damn I wish LOL) Man- we just both have a crazy addiction and love for these cars- and wasted no time modding. Here to help guide the rest of us and share the story! Besides- it's only money Alright- in regards to the suspension/driving feel- report back when you've installed these parts. I too, had your feelings, and these 3 mods completely changed the game Enjoy! Can't wait to hear your feedback

Initially when I ordered these parts, I placed my order on IND's site for both Dinan branded parts. I was contacted by Ryan and was told at that particular time that they did not have either part in stock. Being who I am- and not taking "no" as an answer by any regard- I called Dinan directly and was able to get my hands on one of their last in stock tension link kits which was overnighted (Thanks again Dinan!) Sadly- their ball joint kit was still MIA and I was left unsatisfied. Mr_M5Guy to the rescue, being the M5 guru he is, informs me that Steve Dinan is the new chief of "Carbahn" Understanding the sale/move of his namesake, I gained full trust in Carbahn and gave them a call. A day later after chatting with Chris (damn cool guy- and great representative of carbahn) I had my balljoints overnighted and installed together. Fast forward 5 months- I now have the CarBahn stage 1 controller kit, in addition to my super satisfaction of the balljoints on my car.
