I just had these installed by a local shop and they're telling me that the front sway bar links are fitting extra tight? Does anyone know if they're supposed to fit the same way the were with the stock suspension? Do i need adjustable sway bar links?

I was looking at my rear suspension KW Has, and it looked like the shop installed the mini spring on top of the larger spring, so it is sandwiched between the top spindle and the regular spring. I was trying to adjust the height and couldnt, I am guessing since the smaller spring was at max compression. Should I bring it back and have them fix it?

If it is not installed correctly, I would bring it back to that shop and have them fix it.

We love seeing M4's roll though the shop. Since we've sent our Shop M4, dubbed "Black Betty", to a new home and owner, it gets us excited when we get to do some mods based on some of the fun aspects and accents Black Betty had




With any build, we always like to address the suspension and ride heights to make sure that we get a wheel fitment to fit flush and a nice and clean ride height (without compromising drivability). This particular vehicle was equipped with the M Adaptive Suspension so the KW Height Adjustable Springs were an obvious choice! We wanted to take some preliminary measurements before we did the suspension install.

Front Suspension OEM Ride Height



Rear Suspension OEM Ride Height




We got the car in the air right away and got cracking on installing the new KW Height Adjustable Springs





This has been one of the most popular suspension systems we've had for the F8X platform. Install was a breeze per usual and we had the settings dialed in so we knew where the car would sit once on the ground.




Here are some measurements after we set the vehicle back on the ground.

Front Suspension with KW HAS Ride Height




Rear Suspension with KW HAS Ride Height



Next up - we addressed the rollers - Vorsteiner's new VFF-103's have been a popular choice so going with the Mystic Black option mated to a set of 265/35/19 and 305/30/19 Michelin Tires was an obvious choice.



We had always wanted to do a white car with some Mint Green Accents when we were building Black Betty and we thought that this would be our perfect chance...... Alpine White M4 with Porsche Mint Green calipers and matching seat belts. We also color matched the reflectors to give the car a cleaner look.




(Photo from previous car, but same color seat belts)



What you see below is the finished product. A Beautifully modded M4 with a spot on stance and wheel fitment.

What do you guys think? If you have any questions at all regarding any of the parts you see, please feel free to contact us by clicking HERE or Call us at 866-793-5490.

Complete Mod List
-Vorsteiner 19" VFF103 in satin black
-265/35/19 & 305/30/19 Michelin Pilot Supersport Tires
-KW Height Adjustable Springs
-TAG Motorsports Painted Reflectors
-TAG Motorsports Painted Calipers
-Mint Green Seat belts

Mine was installed the same way. Is this incorrect? Will it have any adverse effect?

So I brought it back to the shop and they said that the instruction is wrong, that the smaller spring should be on top...any inputs?

Umm the instructions are not wrong, I emailed kw. My shop fixed it. Performance wise there should be no difference but I had difficulty adjusting the height with it installed this way.
