That's great that you have so many low price options in your area. Wish I had those choices

There price includes installing KW HAS, perform an alignment and replace the two OEM one time use BMW bolts all for $350-$450?

Alignment is usually done at a later date after settling and is additional. I got the MSS installed for $250. It's less than two hours work, closer to one if you're quick!

That car looks phenomenal in Red on the Bi-colors!! Really amazing. Might be my favourite look yet, definitely up there!

Thanks for the compliments. Dealer prices are crazy compared to your deal. That's the lowest price I've heard.

What's the name of the place you had yours done at? Location?

Let's see some pics of your beast?

Yeah, excellent pricing! The Stance Shop in Queens do great work at great prices!

Looks great!

It feels superb so far. The ride home is entirely made up of back roads from West Chester back to DE and definitely puts the suspension through its paces. One change I made was switching the suspension setting to Sport instead of Sport Plus in my M1 setting.

Good photos! About the closest I’ve seen to what i’m looking for in my g80! This is the KW HAS kit?

Every pic I’ve seen sees someone lowering the car so there is that “slammed” look front and rear. What I can’t understand is that the stock “even” look always has a little more gap in the front compared to the rear. How did you adjust the HAS so that there’s an even drop all around maintaining the slight more gap in the front? I’ve talked to shops about this as well and they don’t seem to understand. The m3 isn’t supposed to be lower in the front!

Thanks!

You have to play around with the rake to give you that illusion while keeping the rake as close as possible.

Thousand of miles and several track days later and I don't have a single complaint about the KW HAS kit. The ride is perfect!

The rear was raised 5mm since those pics were taken. In my opinion it was too low in the rear.

I agree. It looked way to low. We need new pics!

Does anyone know if lowering the fronts down to where you have no threads left is kw’s maximum 25 mm drop? Are most people on kw’s lowering their fronts all the way?

Yes, most guys are max drop on the front and max raise on the rear.

Here pictures on the one that I've done on Friday.
