Apples to Oranges, I don't think you're ever going to be happy if you're trying to compare springs to full coilover systems.

Springs and adjustable spring kits (HAS) are intended to do nothing else but lower the car at a lower cost-entry point than a full coilover system as most street-only cars don't need this. Those expecting coilover performance will have to wait for coilovers to hit the market, starting with the KW V4s that are among the first to hit the market. Also note that G8x adjustable camber plates haven't been released yet.

No Nitrons for G8x yet, but we can import them when they're ready. AST/Moton, MCS, JRZ and Ohlins will probably have their solutions ready before then. The pandemic's screwed up a lot of parts and R&D as a lot of manufacturers still haven't received their M3/M4s, and once they are ready - delays in raw materials will add even more delays to product being released. However, it's coming - just need to be patient.

Edit: Vorshlag just released 1st run camber plates today: https://g80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1880032
