Compared to KW HAS, the Bilsteins are super easy to adjust height. The threads on the Bilsteins are about 2x wider so one full turn raises or lowers the spring perch by 1/8" vs. 1/16" on KW HAS. Furthermore, even though the springs remained pre loaded with the car raised, the spring perch turns very easily and smoothly compared to KW HAS.
This 1/8" increase in ride height had little if any effect on ride quality or handling. I did it to reduce the front rake a bit and also to gain a bit of clearance as I plan on adding a front lip very soon.

Did you notice your front perch only has one adjustment collar on the front ? My rear has 2, just making sure yours is the same and mine didn't come defective..
