I’m looking to lower my 2014 E63 and seems like the options above are the most common one.
H&R go around 230ish vs KW HAS retails around 950. Almost 4 times the price.
anyone here running KW that might have upgraded from H&R? Is the price difference really worth it?
i am aware that the KW are adjustable upfront, but is it worth it?
thanks in advance

I would opt for the KW. Adjustability is everytihing IMO. H&R sits a little too high up front for me.

I highly recommend KW HAS kit as you can adjust to the height you like for both front/rear and is made in Germany . But If you are on a tight budget, H&R is also a very reputable brand to go with. Originally Posted by SAMzE63s

I never got the H&R springs, but, as the above members stated, adjustability is where it's at. I raised the front of my car a year after initial install. Springs do settle and taste does change, It's good to have the option to change ride height w/o having to disassemble your suspension.
Went with the H&R due to cost. Happy with my choice I think the ride height is good.
i have H&R on my wagon and love it - had had experience with both - back in the day had K&W adjustable and H&R Adjustable Street Perfo and never touched them once after installed - wagon has 1 finger gap in front - not sure how much lower you would want to go - i like the ride too
Depends if you have a need to adjust ride height. I like to raise my front for winter when I swap wheels, so I went with HAS.

Had both on 2015 E63.
Height is approximately the same but definitely night and day difference in ride quality.
H&R is a bit harsh and bumpy, KW is a lot smoother.
Highly recommend KW HAS.

ExploreThank you fellas! I really appreciate the feedback.
my main concern with this was not so much the adjustability but more of the comforts. I didn’t wanna lower the car and lose the comfort ride, I know I’m already sacrificing a bit going to 20s with low pros and wanted to make sure I can keep it as smooth as possible

Oh and I pulled the trigger on KW HAS. Should have them next week! I’ll update the thread once I install them but could be a while as my wheels are 3 or 4 weeks away.
thanks again
