BMW M Performance Suspension (HAS height adjustable sleeve over kit)
Update DIY INSTALL:
by knightarmor http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...2#post22790792 -------------------- Updated with PDF FILE: DIY Guide to installing the M Performance Suspension for F80 M3 / F82 M4 With the huge success of the M-Performance cosmetic and performance catalog, it was only a matter of time until they started offering their own coilover suspension. I am sure this OEM alternative to lowering the M3/M4 will be a huge success as well. It looks like BMW finally noticed how many enthusiasts are modifying their suspensions and decided to tap into that as well. Is an M-Performance coilover a good/viable alternative in the already crowded coilover space? Lets hear your thoughts! I'm also curious as to what other OEM suspension upgrades this platform may hold for the future. Last edited by x.shell; 02-15-2018 at 06:21 PM.. |

Not that it really matters any more since we all got our cars and can't add it to the built. |

subbed, I'm interested in these as well. I hope they're reasonably priced.
I'm also interested to know how they will compare against the current coilovers in the market. Obviously, we'll get to keep our warranty with these? |

Its basically just a spring kit, but right from BMW. I wonder how they will handle. Still not a replacement for a high quality true coilover system like JRZ or Ohlins.

Still waiting on other info. For example... is it just a sleeve and spring kit? Will it be an entire strut and spring replacement like a true aftermarket coilover system? If it is a replacement, will there be an EDC version? |

This is great news, pending price obviously. Hopefully it'll be sub 2000, and slot in right where bilstein PSS and KW variant 1 pricing would be. If its another HAS / Dinan style height adjustable sleeve kit, I pass.

Plus sides: This validates the OEM struts having the capability to handle up to a 25mm drop. It also leaves the cost impact to be "relatively" small; at least compared to a full coilover swap. Another plus is that it will have some sort of factory warranty (although I'm not sure if wear and tear of struts are covered under warranty). Which leads to the minus side of things... Minus sides: If wear and tear of struts aren't covered under warranty, then what is the difference between going with this and KW HAS or Dinan? Quote from Jason's SEMA post Quote:

I hope it works with the Adaptive Suspension, I mean what's the point if we have M Adaptive and cannot use it w/ it?

"For now, we can share that the M4 M Performance suspension is like the KW HAS (height adjustable system), and matches the factory EDC struts with stiffer springs, and a height adjustable perch."

And the ability to adjust height between track season and snow season.

of course these will work for both passive and adaptive suspension cars... just like all the other spring kits. why would bmw design this if it weren't suitable for both?
please find out if these springs are linear or progressive. If would be perfect if these were height adjustable and linear springs at the same time.. IMO a better version of the KW HAS. Should be reasonably priced.. I'll definitely be waiting now for more info to come out on these. |

I wouldn't go as far as saying this validates the OEM strut capabilities quite yet, but excellent observation.. you make a great point. The factory warranty might be bullshit though as dealerships will try to deny anything being wrong with your struts if indeed something is up.
