So after purchasing KW's for both my E46 and E82 (V2's) and getting sick of looking at that front wheel gap on the F80 it was time to go ahead and pull the trigger on a suspension. Since I have the adjustable dampening I went with KW once again and ordered the HAS kit. Knowing that BMW M Performance is coming out with essentially the same kit I went with it.

The yellow and purple paint never gets old.







Before:













Crunch time.



Finished installing rears:







Installing the fronts by first removing both strut braces:

















Front mid install:



New strut.



That's all I took because I just wanted to finish. In all it took me and a friend about 4 hours with food breaks. I'll post the finished look in a couple of minutes. Stay tuned.

Man, those rear sunblinds are much classier than a tint! I'd still go with a tint instead of the sunblinds...can't explain why, actually
(I know you got an aftermarket tint on top)

Resurrecting from the dead. So my lease came to a close on the last day of the month in November. I bought her out. I couldn't let her go because she means too much to me. I am looking forward to what the future has in store for us!

Upgrade to the Icon LEDs. They are a vast improvement over the standard lighting.
