C63S Coupe KW HAS installed

Had my KW HAS kit installed by IND Distribution in Chicago over the past weekend and it turned out great. I wanted to post this because there were a bunch of members reporting problems with their KW kits, and I wanted to share my positive experience with zero issues. I put over 400 miles on the car between Friday after the install till today. No noises, no binding. Turn in is sharper and more direct, comfort mode ride a little bit softer than before S and S+ feel the same. The car feels more direct. I wanted to post this so people thinking about going KW HAS for their coupes can see that the people who had issues with their was probably due to installer error or maybe faulty kits.

hey! looks awesome... Do you think if you had spacers all round and a full car it would rub?

There is some heavy camber in the front, but they got the alignment to factory specs. Probably going to do the KMAC kit to dial out the camber, and run 265 front and 305 rear is possible. I know it would rub in the rear with spacers but the fronts IDK. As it sits now there is zero rubbing over bumps and dips.

Glad you finally got them installed! We have installed over 30+ HAS kits locally with no issues. IND is a great shop!

looks great, and looks "set" much lower than mine was.

i'm curious how your alignment shop was able to align/adjust the front camber as i've been told it's basically not adjustable. that is why some of us have the k-mac front bushing kit to help rectify some of the negative camber post spring installation.

enjoy!

Thanks, I'm not sure how they got it to factory they had the car for a whole day on alignment rack to get it correct. I mainly want to dial out front camber for looks, not a fan of the heavy camber stance style. Once i get the summer tires on I'm going to raise the back up a bit to avoid rubbing for 305s. Might do spacers later, but not sure.

I think he/she's saying they aligned it to factory specs which is easily achievable, they didn't dial out the camber, you can't unless you uses something like the KMAC kit.

Mine lasted a while before the noises started.

yes, that makes sense. straight ahead aligned to spec, yes, camber to spec probably not.
