are your brabus springs adjustable? I ask because the brabus gt750 which is the car they first tested their springs on sit about the same stance I mine. I am thinking yours aren't adjusted down as much as the 750?
I know my wife commented after I dropped ours that what did I do to soften the ride. I got a kick out of it
I know you have KW so thats not same. I dont mind my height at all but their pics either prototypes or adjusted to please. (if citing fixed)
The 750 isnt on OEM wheels either- not apples vs apples for sure
With that being said the rear could def be a few mm lower but its only been 80 miles since I dropped it so maybe some slight settling. Spacers will def help optically too.
This is on the fixed
After
Before

they are the fixed height ones ... the HAS was not available and their pics are bs (sorry) but they can render and adjust to attract but their fixed height is what I have and my pics are real. Its 1 inch drop in the rear as measured and 1.2 in the front so it does meet their claim of 25 to 30mm in drop height.

Oh yeah you can definitely see yours has dropped. Their photo is not photoshopped. I was sent videos of it along with photos of the install process prior to me ordering the brabus. That is definitely the ride height in the photo. I installed the rears on mine but the fronts didn't fit as explained earlier. When I set my rear down it was very close if not exactly the same as their photos. Unfortunately I don't think spring manufacturing is an exact science. Having installed tons of coils they do vary which I have always thought was weird. This is where adjustability comes into play to fine tune. I think they all should be that way due to settling. Most lowered cars will not measure evenly 5k miles down the road.

I have had over 15 sets of KW HAS installed over the years along with Novitec (private KW label) and other HAS setups on my G8X's (MSS) so they are normally my go to's... I would have easily opted for the kit but it was back ordered with no ETA and Im sadly impatient LOL.
I have to pay to play so do you by chance have the total rear drop before and after with the HAS (kw).?

I see, but the wheels are clearly not OEM creating a better offset while my sunken crap looks bad LOL. And that pic was on adjustable which mine are not...I have to kind of live it with it and ride wise I am very very happy.
