There will be wires going into the strut. On the 2014 models they should be behind the wheel and the 2015 models will be on the top of the strut tower.

If your strut looks like this, you do.

Thanks! I don't see it. What issues could I run into if I ran H&R springs that call for it?

They do make an H&R spring set for adaptive.

Yes, but he doesn't have the adaptive supsension...

but for some reason he was wondering if he could use the HR springs set for adaptive instead of the non-adaptive...

these are the non-adaptive ones... http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-21...-f22-228i.aspx

Been doing some research. Trying to get some adjustability without breaking the bank. Any advice or recommendation on these would be helpful
