Looks good.
What offset(s) are the wheels and what alignment are you running F&R ?

And how’s the rubbing with that square setup? That’s the exact setup I’d like to run.

I thought that I read somewhere that the KW HAS springs are the same spring rate as OE? If that is the case I would expect the feel to be the same. But with that said, I have 3 track days coming up in the next 2 weeks so I will hopefully have some opinions formed then.

Any lowering springs on a factory damper are going to move the range where the shock/strut sits, not only when static but also under compression. The issue with the kw/bmw performance springs is that the combination puts the shock and struts out of that sweet spot, that combined with the adjustable perch means that you’re giving up available travel so you will end up riding on the bump stops during full compression which isn’t the goal. I think you will find on a the street it will ride fine but the car will drive poorly on track under load/compression. Taiga2002 recently tracked his with a similar setup and reported something along those lines iirc. -GT3M2 |

My previous track car was a S550 Mustang. In that world, coilovers were frowned on (Ohlins were the exception) but that was mostly because there were so many good aftermarket options for track systems using the MacPherson strut style. I will report back after my track days. I might have a lightly used HAS system available for someone |

I think we will be lucky with this platform, MCS, Moton/AST, Ohlins, etc will have stuff out soon, just hoping they actually offer dedicated kits not just g80/82 stuff. We all know coilover has its benefits but I think if you’re not running it max low you can probably retain most of the plus sides of the oem dampers with your springs. -GT3M2 |

Of course how you setup your car varies on your driving style, but I prefer a car that has a slight safety under steer rather than unpredictable oversteer. |
