Looks great! thanks for your feedback look forward to future feedback but by then hopefully I have either type of HAS kit installed on my car lol

Update,

I have now had the KW HAS set up on the car about three weeks so far.

The car settled about 1/8th

The alignment was complete and no issues completing it. The car is spot on.

The ride is still perfectly balanced with no issues what's so over. No noises or issues as of today.

The car turns in/out great, very well balanced and planted. The overall feel for daily driver is close to OEM.

I could not be happier and will update this post if any issues or other feedback in the future.

FastM3CT · 05-03-2020, 11:02 AM

I will be taking some new updated pictures but for now here is one for fun until the rest get posted.

FastM3CT · 05-14-2020, 10:41 PM

Some additional pictures with new rim/tire set up.

More to come....

FastM3CT · 05-14-2020, 10:43 PM

Looks great! What was the final height settings? Full drop?

AMGHUNTR · 05-25-2020, 02:38 PM

Nice looks great are those new wheels 19s or 20s and how's it feel within the different suspension modes? Seems to me the MP HAS you are paying a bit more over all just for an OE product.

FastM3CT · 11-24-2020, 12:24 PM

Additional update with pictures will be coming soon.

What about H&R sleeve kit? I am pretty happy with it. Ride is oem quality (iv shorter h&r bump stops) and u can slam ur car as u wish. Im about 2” lower than stock and still plenty thread left (Id say 1/3F and 1/2R)

Mospeada · 12-05-2020, 12:30 AM

they're basically the same. MP HAS comes with extra tools and tube that lets you press the HAS exactly. KW HAS you will have to manually mark and press down to some level. MP HAS also has better spring support. MP HAS is more a complete kit for M cars than KW HAS. worth extra $400 over KW HAS

I have a Base model with EDC and was looking for slightly softer than stock, to help drag launches, and for wife bump complaints. In checking with friends they said KW is more track based (slightly stiffer) and MP more street based (slightly softer). I DIY installed MP this summer and the ride is great all around. Digs got better in Comfort mode, and I still have Sport+ for highway 60-130s. No track use or planned, but hopefully some dragstrip this coming spring.

No if you look close in post #27 you can see the M emblems... They are probably 763M's

I wonder how they make the KW for the F83 and the MPHAS isn't compatible per my dealer. Yet in Europe I believe it is.

Any updates on KW HAS or MP HAS still riding good ?

Bumping thread to see what your thoughts are after a couple of years. Currently trying to decide which route to go. TIA

Really appreciate the updates. I have been deciding between the KW and MP kit and am really leaning towards the MP based on the what I have been reading.

Question on alignment: Is corner balancing the way to go? The majority of my driving will be on normal roads with hopefully an occasional track day.

These are 20's and has some change in the different modes. I would don't say its a huge difference in stiffness.

This 100 percent spot on for feel either on the track or street.
