Although you can definitely ask KW to send you springs to lift the stock height a bit more. I didn't because I went with fatter tires.

KW DDC is most definitely worth it though. It is so much better compared to HAS. The price kind of reflects this but I'm glad I did it.

Ill have to sit in yours one of these days. I have zero context for comparison.

What’s your ET? What kind of tires? I have 20x11 ET 37 on OE m5 295/30/20 in the rear w/no rubbing. I had the HAS kit on my first f80. While I didn’t rub ( stock tires) the car was soft and I would scrape the nose lip through inclines driveway due to lack of bound. I am much happier now the ddc kit

The height is adjustable, the drop is also different between M3 and M4 due to the weight distribution

Will KW provide a longer rear spring in the US?Thanks

Hello,

Does KW DDC front axle have it's own stabilizer swing support?
With lowering car, original stabilizer swing support is very high

I went from Stock adaptive suspension —> KW HAS —> KW P&P

the stock adaptive suspension is actually pretty good. However my neighboring country has pretty bad roads, hence often high speed handling has to be coupled with Sports/Sports + suspension mode.

KW HAS

When i changed to the KW HAS, it was pretty alright in the first place. However, i started to spot certain traits. The rebound seems to be faster than the compression, hence when you guys ride over bumps, it feels the car "jumps" bounces back faster. At high speed, it seems fine. Subsequently the rest of the mood carries the traits of the "faster rebound" feel for some reason. Not necessarily a bad thing, just feels weird for me, as if the car's suspension is in "panic" mode. I ended up using Sports/Sports+ mode of suspension, making my "comfortable" mode nearly negligible.

KW P&P

Gosh, this is how the car should behave after its been lowered. The handling characteristics are pretty swift and the modes take on the road smoothly. I often travel on "Brick roads" (feel free to PM me to show u how it looks like) and the comfort mode takes the vibration smoothly. Switching to Sports/Sports+ makes the suspension work harder (faster compression and faster rebound), yet doesnt feel intolerant.

Hope the review helps.
P.S Currently, my car's ride height is at the max setting, with 275/30/20 FRONT and 295/30/20 rear. Feel free to ask for more info, i will try to share what i know.

Hi I hope you can help I recently had the ddc kit installed on my m3 and I’m finding it hard to tell the difference between modes should hitting bumps in different modes feel noticeably different

There is a considerable difference between all 3 modes.

I wish I could say the same, maybe if I’m really looking for something I’d say over 80mph the car bounces less. But no difference in comfort?
