I'd love to lower this thing , but I'm not willing to lose more than 10-15% of the OE ride quality, as it's bad enough as it is. Between the H&R springs and the KW HAS, can anyone tell me from real-world experience which choice is more or less harsh? Thanks in advance.

 

On a previous ‘16 GTS, the KW HAS kit was actually slightly softer feeling/“more absorbent” than stock.
H&R springs were bouncy and generally crappy.

Both set ups properly aligned with MB alignment shims.

I didn’t mind the KW and would do again, but if doing again for me and my use, I’d have gotten firmer spring rates from KW to use.

 

Oh wow, that's interesting an basically what I'm looking for as it's my DD (drop with some improved ride quality). Do you know how the RENNTECH HAS compares to the KW HAS as far as ride quality?

 

I have not personally driven on the adjustable Renntech’s so no experience to share.

 

10-4. Sounds though like the KW HAS could be a winner for me.

 

go with Renntech coilovers. I can’t say enough good things about the setup.

 

how is the ride quality compared to stock? less rough and jarring on bad roads, or more?

 

Yes. Car feels like it should have come stock. Renntech knows this car.

 

awesome, tnx!

 

I had H&Rs for about two weeks. They were so bad I might never buy another one of their products again. My installer actually called them to make sure they sent us the right part number because he was confused too.

Had KW HAS for three years. Rode much much better. Just like factory.

 

I have the H&R-s and they were installed by the previous owner so I can't really compare them with the stock ride but for sure the car feels bouncy and I've started to notice it more and more... My previous ride was R8 with KW springs and that car rode great.

 

oh wow, that's my nightmare. tnx for the info.

 

My car came with KW HAS and I found the Renntech coils I installed ride much more nicely. It really does feel the way I wish it had come.

 

great to hear, thanks. just ordered them.
