KW HAS for BMW M4

[Padfan9]

What's the perfect drop on these? I would like them to sit just above the tires. Anyone have pics of their M4 with KW HAS and the exact measurements?? Thanks!

I saw one on the Tag thread that had 26.5 inches in front and 26.25 in the rear...

Do you have the actual drop measurement?

[supremepower]

Most people just max out the drop in the front and rear, as seen below on Onewheeldrive's M4.

On this car specifically, we maxed the front, and left the rear about 4 turns from the lowest point

KW states that the approximate lowering range is as follows:

Coupe / Sedan
Front: 0.4" - 1.2"
Rear: 0.2" - 1.0"

Convertible
Front: 0.2" - 1.0"
Rear: 0.2" - 1.0"

Thanks for the info but taking measurements from the ground to the wheel well is a very inaccurate way of measuring drops because the measurement will differ when you take into consideration different wheels and tires. I figure a shop like Tag (and many others) would know this, but I digress.

The proper way to measure is from the center of the wheel to the fender well; a measurement taken with this method will be accurate no matter what wheels and tires you have mounted.

Standard wheels I see, but what size tyres are those?

How is the ride quality at this height compared to OEM? Im getting mine dropped tomorrow on KWHAS.

[Who's on first]

I've had mine on for about 2 months.

It was the lowest all around. Did not like the ride quality and noises from the front when driving in the city.

This Saturday I did this:

Correct way, or not it's much better!!
(And dead level)

7 threads up in the front
9 threads down In the rear

I re-did my adjustable end links, I left the bottom (at sway bar) disconnected. Drove the car up on race ramps, and then connected and torqued the bolt at the sway bar connection.


Soooooo much better.

How many turns are there from top to bottom (highest to lowest point)??. Im trying to get some perspective on the approx distance 4 turns really travels

4 turns.... Next to nothing in my opinion.


That's why I just counted threads visible.

Good to know, learned something new, dont remember if the pics were wide enough to see the center to the top of fender...
