Having my H&R installed next week. I hate how the rear end is slammed and the front has a gap on all f90's installed with KW HAS. I have had many many sets of KW, but I can't see myself spending 6k on the new V4's

What about the K.W. Coilover? What's the difference in the H and R be K.W. Coilover?

I went with the H&R's and have about 100 miles on them since the drop. Truth be told I thought it would be lower in the rear as H&R claims 1.2 inches square. The ride and feel is almost the same as stock- maybe even a small amount of less compression and rebound so thats a plus:

These were taken about 30 miles into the drop.

Im not a huge fan of the "dumped" look, so this ^^ look is great! I'm sure it's dropped slightly since this is only 30 miles in, and it looks spot on now!

Kw V4 is the way to go, but 6k for the coilovers is insane. I never minded spending $3500 on all my prior M's but 6k is a little steep.

100% agree with this. KW's were great for $3500. Only thing I missed was the EDC function of the stock suspension.

For $6000 without EDC though, no thanks.

Finally got the HAS kit installed. Had to remove the whole rear dash to get to the rear struts. Took about 4 hours to do the whole thing.

I think if the back was raised up it would look great. It's a height ADJUSTABLE spring kit... Seems like an installation issue more than a KW issue.
