Lowering car with adaptive suspension
Hey guys,
This is my first M, Ive never lowered a car so i am new to all this. Ive asked a few people and I've gotten different views on this. How can i lower the car with out losing the adaptive suspension technology. I was told from a M5 owner to go with KW adjustable springs, other people tell me just get H&R springs because the adjustable springs aren't good. Ive also heard that just getting springs makes the car ride bouncy. So I am a little confused if you guys could just educate me on this subject and point me in the right direction. Thank you John

Congrats on your first M. You can go with H&R lowering springs or the KW Height Adjustable's. We ran the both on our car. We started off with H&R's but we wanted to adjust our ride height for different wheel set ups. So we went with the KW Height Adjustable Springs and they were amazing, no complaints at all. They rode better than the H&R's and we were able to get the results we were after. |

Hey John, I believe what suits you best is the KW Height Adjustable Suspension (HAS) kit.
