KW HAS sitting to high, different springs?

[Couna777]

has anyone tried to swap springs on KW HAS?
do KW offer different height of springs?
i like where my front sits currently, but rear seems to high at lowest setting.
i would like to keep the springrate as it is but get little shorter spring.
has anyone done that ? or does KW even offer springs separately?

thanks,

I'm currently in contact with KW Germany to confirm but I'm surprised because usually the rear can go lower than the front. I want my front just lower...lol

I had to do this with both KW V3 and HAS. For V3 I had to get longer springs in the rear. For HAS I had to get shorter springs in the front. This was on my old F80.

KW is not good for stance at all. KW will also not recommend what I did.

Do you have more information on the shorter springs in the front?

I got a spring for the front which is 15mm shorter than stock which will be hopefully perfect for my needs.

How is KW not good for stance? I get asked all the time if I'm on bags.

Not low enough. When I had my F80, I disliked the reverse rake it gave. That is entirely subjective.

Any lower you can't drive the car as it is meant to be?!?!?!?!

You want it sitting on the ground? Get air bags and compromise on performance.

Figured out! Spring are on the way.

I will have it installed with some camber plates.

Talked to KW US they wanted $150 each spring, only one was available.

Have contacted some KW dealer in Germany, got both springs with shipping to the states for $250.

Springs should be 15mm shorter than the standard springs.

Will follow up once installed.

Did you ever get the shorter springs installed? Any pics?
