Coilover options
Hey guys I installed the kw has kit and Im not happy how the car sits . Not low enough for especially with my 21s . The front does not sit as low as the rear and looks off . KW V4s are just out of my range at 4K+ . Any ideas ?

H&R M550i springs ... several folks here running on 21" setups and they look good. Ride quality seems to be good as well. Not Coils but will work if you want to go lower and not break the bank.

I recently measured the wheel gap on an F90 M5 w/ the 550 H&R's and the front appeared .. mind you I measured with my finger and it was night. V4 solves this but $$$$$. Others have mentioned M Performance releasing coilovers or a sleeve kit but I've not seen anything yet.

I got a great deal on the v4s and happy I made the investment. Car rides so smooth and handles corners even better. The height for me is perfect on 21s. Theres more to go if you wanted it even lower than this

I'm on the HAS kit and I opted to raise the car up a bit since it was too low on its lowest setting. After a few tries, I feel its perfect now. Not sure how much lower you would like to go. See pic for reference:

Also, did you use spacers at all for offset?

That's my car on H&R M5 Sport Springs. No adjustability...but ride height is good for me.

Thanks dardeca You input will be useful to compare what we get from Eurohorses if he gets a chance to reply to the thread and take measurements of his KW from the ground to top of fender (front and rear). I'm sure Hockeytyme would also like to know

Why measure from ground to fender? That measurement could easily change based on tire wear, tire pressure, etc... You're better off measuring from center of wheel to fender to eliminate any variables.

I figured his set up looks brand new including tires and it would be quicker to get measurement from ground than trying to find center using a straight edge etc. |

The point where the blue and white of the BMW logo meets on the center cap should be relatively easy to spot for most.
