I don't want a slammed/tuck looked. I just want to bring it down a little bit; a modest drop to close some of the gap. I see people going with the MSS HAS kit and the KW kit. What do I want/need?

Can someone just give me the pros and cons of each and which one I want? I promise I looked but I just want a quick blurb without reading through multiple threads about suspension.

TIA!
Purely up to you. Springs will give a fixed drop, a HAS/Sleeve (like the KW HAS) kit will let you dial in your exact drop. For most, springs are perfectly fine and come in at a much lower cost. Good news is - either option feels comfortable and will retain your EDC.

IMHO - springs are perfectly fine for most street drivers out there unless you have a specific ride height in mind. You can see some examples of M3s with AST springs in this thread: https://g80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1847754.

On the HAS side, you can keep the drop conservative or go even lower - that's the beauty of a HAS kit.
