Thank you for the reply and your honesty. Really wish I would have been told this prior to purchasing them. There are similar complaints on the BMW boards. Just doesn’t seem right. Yes, the car looks better, The adjustability is a nice feature, but if there’s a flaw in fitment then they really aren’t worth it to me. Especially if the the springs aren’t working as they should.

Where’s everyone else on this topic ?

Update. Had the installer lift the car and make sure that the suspension was in order. All we found was some pebbles and debris in the left unit. Kinda turned them back forth a bit. Re-measured at the threaded portion at the top of the units. That’s it.

Noise is no longer there, at least for the time being.

So i take back my earlier comments.

All is is well in regards to fhe springs making a sound.

Best,

I take it all back. The Noises have returned and can now hear it at both rear units depending on the slope of the driveway.

Every time I start to kick around the idea of lowering I read stories like this and I’m reminded quickly why I don’t do it.

It would be nice if a lot of this information was more widely known BEFORE purchasing the KW HAS kit. The alignment cost is a joke in itself as not much can even be done to remedy the negative camber in the front. Then there’s the issue of the noise the springs make from time to time, not just here but with BMW cars as well.
