FIRST LOOK: OEM G8X M Performance HAS Kit!!

napeHbNYC · 02-06-2024, 06:04 PM

Had my M3 have HAS port installed. Yesterday took the wheels off to put the spacers on and to my surprise both front and rear are maxed out, I didn’t ask for it and was a regular port installed option added, anyone else?

It probably depends on the age of the tech. “Oh, he’ll want these like this.” 🤣🤣🤣 or they’re too lazy to do the measurement check to get them to the height on paper.

I haven’t had a chance to take my wheels off yet but my car was delivered much lower than I expected. My rears were basically tucked. My MP HAS installed at the NY port last week and picked up the car Saturday.

Here’s a couple horrible pics I took at the dealer. I’ll get some better photos after it’s PPF’d and I have spacers on.

*edit: I was surprised and super happy with the ride height. Coming from a M4 on KW V3’s and a 911 also on KW V3’s, I was nervous that the car wasn’t going to be low enough even at max low with the MP HAS. I don’t even know if I’m at max low but once I add spacers, I think I’m gonna leave it as is.

I’ve had a bunch of slammed cars but this is an excellent balance of a nice low ride height and performance. The car is definitely stiff but that’s exactly what I love. This was the first G8X delivered at my dealer with the MP HAS. It’s a pretty high volume M dealer and everyone loved the way the car sat.

Has anyone done a square setup on the base model? Curious as to what the front would look like with the max drop.

Limegrntaln · 02-08-2024, 01:29 PM

I havent seen it, but, Im sure it will look good. I know there is a CS in the CS thread on 20s squared lowered with spacers, looks amazing.

It looks like we had the same installer at the port in NY... haha. I'm not mad about it!

mdr955 · 02-09-2024, 12:04 PM

I wish I knew what my drop was so if I had room to go or what

I put some spacers on today and here’s how the fronts were set at the port.

I can’t tell how many threads are left. Or are they bottomed out?

I have crappy photos but here’s a slightly better view. They appear to be maxed out…

Yeah, those look maxed out.

Yup. After I put the spacers on I took the car for a rip. I'm super happy with my decision w/ the M Performance HAS. With spacers the car has a sick stance but no rubbing, no bounce, no nothing. Perfect balance of looks without sacrificing the way the car should drive.

I had V3's on my F82 and it was too bouncy for me. The F82 was pretty dumped and looked great but I would rub/scrape on everything, it was too low. I've had KW V3's on 911's and M's but I really love this new G8X setup. Very planted and firm driving experience. Totally love it.
