Hi
I am looking to install a HAS system on my G81 and the 2 options I am considering are KW and H&R

I know the KW problems in the beginning with the rear springs for G80 but I guess now it is solved right?
Can someone who installed them recently that with the new longer springs there is no more a problem in the rear?
Some pics would be really helpful

Anyway the KW kit for G81 has a different part number so I guess they won’t be making the same mistake they did with G80

I have seen positive for H&R not many but pretty good.
There are more reviews for KW Has at this moment for sure.

Thank you

I'd pick the H&R VTF, that's what I have on my car and I'm very happy with it.

Thank you for this! I read all the threads and looks like everyone is happy with the H&R.

Well I decided to go with KW HAS. Seems to have the most reviews and considering that M Performance adjustable springs are also made by KW I decided to go with them.
I got also a real good deal on a set including installation.
I think is going to be what I want.

KW's close relationship with BMW Motorsport ensures that same technology/experience is carried throughout the entire KW product line.

Went and visited with the owners of A&A Performance in Norcross, GA today so I could take a look at one of their M4's which is lowered on an H&R VTF HAS and has an aftermarket mid-pipe connected to the M Perf axle-back exhaust.

I asked for these pictures so I could see my stock suspension/wheels & tires compared directly against his H&R kit.

You be the judge but this made me realize how high the stock suspension really is!

Lowering this car is a game changer; for some reason, the front grill looks out of place with stock suspension, and it's perfect as soon as the car is dropped.

Mike you still like the H&R VTF kit? At first I wanted the Eibach fronts. But now I believe I wont be happy unless I get a perfect 1" drop. But, I love the way the stock suspension rides.

How would you compare the VTF kit to stock as far as comfort (in efficient) and sport plus?
