When customers would come in and ask about suspension options, we generally only had two options, and each came w its own set of tradeoffs.  Add to that difficulty the implementation by most of the auto manufacturers of some form of dynamic shocks, and now the options had even greater tradeoffs. Up till now….KW introduces the Height Adjustable Spring (HAS) kit solution. No longer do you need to give up the electronic dampening  (Audi Dampening System (ADS), BMW Electronic Dampening (EDC), or Porsche Active Stability Management (PASM) to gain height adjustability, or even some sportier springs.

KW height adjustable springs kits are a great alternative to conventional springs. You don’t have to be satisfied with a fixed lowering height (if you were instead to go w sport springs as your option to lower the car) as you can adjust the height with the KW height adjuster even after the kit has been installed. This works well for many cusotmers since they like to swap wheels or change the look / rake / clearance to meet your specific needs and requirements (like, what if you bought sport springs, and after the install, you still have a slight clearance issue on getting into and out of your driveway?  You have only two options, live w it, or go back to your old OEM springs). 

The other traditional approach has been to implement or install coil-overs, but that means a much greater expense, and you lose the stock adjustable or electronic dampening of the original shocks.

On a new BMW F8x M3 or M4, these new height adjustable springs allow the car to be lowered;

in mm:
Front: 15-30
Rear: 5-30

in inches:
Front: 0.6-1.2
Rear: 0.2-1.2
