MP HAS Initial Drop

[SnoozieToofs]

Hello everyone.

Quick question.

What is the initial drop on the MPHAS at it's HIGHEST setting compared to the standard OEM springs. The install instructions reference a drop range of 10-25mm, but that seems off to me, as I have seen members post drops of more than 1 inch for the front and rear.

So I assume these values are for adjustment after the suspension is installed, but the suspension by default lowers the car already.

Hope that makes sense.

Any insight would be much appreciated.

I have the same issue with KW HAS. I only wanted a very mild drop all around, but even at highest setting up front, it dropped over 1+", which equates to over 25+mm. Rears had more room to adjust higher, but my shop leveled the car so the front didn't rake. I'm actually switching out my KW HAS for MSS HAS, which has a 0-30mm adjustment.

More info, I'm running 265/35/19 Front and 285/35/19 Rears. I know some ppl lower their car and end up running 18s on 35 profile instead of 40, which decreases the overall diameter so it doesn't look as low, but based on measurements my shop took, it definitely dropped a lot more than advertised.

Just buy two springs.

Wow looks awesome !!

What ride high do you have it on and do you scrape a lot the front lip getting out of driveways, gas stations, garages, etc ?

Front is set to the lowest, rear has prob another 1/4" to go down. Yea I scrape here and there on certain driveways/parking lots. Just need to be mindful of pulling in/leaving places and it's manageable.

Looks really nice! Not sure if you're into spacers or not, but to the extent you don't mind adding some then I think 12mm all around would be amazing

On my f82 with oem 19 437's, my rears are on max low and I am around 0.75 inch lower than stock. The f80 rear bodywork will have a tucked in look whereas the f82 will not with the identical drop. The fronts can easily go 1.5 inches lower than stock.
