KW HAS Kit - Are there any negatives to this suspension

luckym3girlnj · 05-25-2021, 09:21 AM

My F80 is running HR Sport Springs, my old F80 did as well, from what I see, the HAS kit is the only one available right now that is going to be released fairly soon, so I was going to go this route, but how easy can you adjust the height?

Im almost 100% certain that the HAS adjustment will be the same as any other prior HAS kit. You still need to remove the wheels to adjust the height using the KW provided tool.

To be honest after having done over 15 HAS kits in my car ownership resume; Ive maybe adjusted the height twice. It might take a total of an hour to do since one will have to jack it up, adjust, and then bring down and measure.

Fairly easy to adjust, most people only adjust it once or twice if they have steep driveways. Only other time to adjust it is if you're a wheel enthusiast and you enjoy changing up that stance

I have put in an order for the KW HAS and I was told 8-10 weeks at the least. I ordered the H&Rs for the time being for content purposes. I was told they will be released this week or the next.

I definitely recommend the KW HAS kit. I ran it on my F80. Ride was perfect and i retained all factory EDC settings. I didnt get my G80 yet its sitting at the port in Germany but i already prepaid for a set from ACM so hopefully they arrive at the same time as my car. They adjust like a set of coilovers. Raise the car. remove the wheel and adjust.
