The KW HAS Kit for the F87 M2 is identical to the kit that was created for the F8X M3/M4 and is available for purchase. Both kits have the same part number, use factory OE top mounts, OE dampers, retain your factory electronic damping control, and also contain the same lowering ranges.

Isn't that kind of lazy?

BMW didn't do it like that and I have a hard time believing it was a match made in heaven for the M2 too considering the cars are quite different after all even if they share a lot of components.

Does seem rather lazy, although I suspect they are far cheaper than M Performance coilovers!

Similar situation in the U.S. KW HAS is approximately 1/3 the cost of the MPS, give or take.

bumping this up....has anyone else gone with these on their M2??

I really want to use these on my M2, but KW deciding to use the same rates as the F8x concerns me when every other company came out with different rates.

Good to hear, I was actually going to PM you.

Still at the same heights?? I'm curious what it looks like lowered all the way down front and rear as that's what I would do.

Any spacers??

If you have any more recent/more settled pictures it would be greatly appreciated

I'm trying to decide between these and the Eibach. No interest in the H&R from what I've read and coilovers are crazy expensive.
