HAS kit + BMW lip + daily drive?

[JTM09]

Hey guys , considering a HAS kit for my car.

I currently have the M performance front carbon splitters and lip.

The car is a daily driver. Is a HAS kit a bad idea?

My goal is a very subtle drop. I’d love to fix the wheel gap and make the car more aggressive but not if I’m gonna be scraping my lip everyday. Suggestions? Thanks

I'm lowered on MPHAS with my CS. You just have to be careful on steep driveways and ramps but that kind of depends on how low you set it. Yolo the front lip is a consumable. I'm on my second one.

I daily mine on MPHAS. When I had my lip on I would scrape on most inclines and bottom out on road divots. Somehow with the lip off, I’ve only brushed the rash guards on a few occasions. I’ll probably put my lip back on soon, but I think of it as protection for my bumper - would recommend the Lightweight Lip as it’s built like a tank. Pic below for height reference (about 1.5 finger gap front, 2 finger rear)

No probs. I'm near Philly and the roads...what roads? I didn't set them too low so they rarely scrape. I could go way lower but no desire. I wanted the softer ride from stock Base.

so why exactly would a HAS kit be a bad idea? If you a comparing vs a regular fixed height spring, the HAS gives you adjustability.

I think you are actually asking whether lowering your car is a bad idea

+ 1...well said & agree.

I don't have a CS but am relatively low (24-24.5") on MP HAS. I switch it up from time to time but keep going back to the MP lightweight w/SlipLo due to its durability.

Ditto. First lip lasted less than a month. Changed a couple things, this one is still around. HAS for lowering is great IMO.

Here's another thread with more info. https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1793605

I like the comments that say to just treat the front lip as a consumable because it's sadly true. lol
