I am not a retailer so my only bias or play is ownership and the MSS is tremendous. The spring rates that lead to the compression and rebound are incredible. I have never tried AST so I can not give an opinion.

I truly have no idea my car is lowered with MSS every single time I drive it. I personally like a slightly lower car than fixed springs offer so MSS works for me and the 600 bucks more or so that I paid. Do I readjust it often, hell no- Ill never adjust it so the HAS part is not reflective in my choices.

In reality the BMW dampers on the G8X are so much better than previous M3/4 iterations so almost any spring will be great unless the spring rates are really low and you get the bounce back!!!

Hmmmm..Vic are you rubbing in the back? Only ask because I'm going to have kids in the back most of the time.
