Awesome video, thanks for doing it. Trying to follow this for a KW HAS install on a F83. One thing I noticed though is that for KW HAS the helper springs in the rear go at the bottom and not the top. Not sure if the MP HAS goes on top as shown in the video but KW HAS instruction manual shows the helper springs going at the bottom. Also, not sure how you got the eccentric bolt close to the camber alignment you marked with the sharpie. Do you do it before you torque the nut?

It’s the same. I have the adaptive suspension on my Competition Package and installed the KW version to retain the EDC functionality/stock dampers and it’s the same. Follow the instructions especially concerning the location of the front black billet spring perch replacement as it’s supposed to be pressed on to a certain distance from the end of the damper tube and MAKE A VERTICAL MARK in-line with where the sway bar end link mount is BEFORE removing the factory spring perch. If you press the new perch on with the end link mount protrusion at the wrong angle, your end link won’t mount up correctly.

Been through 5 different front carbon lips trying to find something that doesn’t get destroyed in Houston city streets. Ended up with a two piece design with an open center and they hug the bumper pretty close. They’ve still made contact on the underside on steep drives, but it’s worth it.

Juan Jose Plans thanks man. And yes it’s an adaptive suspension. So far ride quality has been amazing and much better than springs

@mfran268 5 жыл бұрын

So according to the SA at BMW there is some programming involved. I had an independent shop install my MP HAS (saved $2K) so I don't have the programming on mine. I wonder if it makes it better🤔. It would be interesting to get a comparative review between having the programming and not having it.

@TommyLGarage 5 жыл бұрын

Honestly I don’t think it’s that important. Perhaps it makes the modes more pronounced. Either way - not worth the hassle IMO

@keonim3610 5 жыл бұрын

Anyone have an idea on what this specific programming is about? It’s not the same as calibrating the EDC is it? Also be sure to watch the removal of the EDC sensors. They are super fragile and can fail thus needing replacement.

Hi Tommy, thanks for the great video! Any idea why these HAS are not compatible with the 9MR option on the M4 as indicated by BMW?

It’s the perch that sticks out too muxh.

@mezemos 2 жыл бұрын

@@TommyLGarage I don’t quite understand the difference between cars that have the 9MR package and cars that don’t. It’s hard to find any information about it. What’s the difference? Is the perch a piece on the HAS or a component on the car?

@5abivt 4 жыл бұрын

Great video thank you 🙏🏼. Love watching these to prepare for doing it myself. One question for you or anyone else who has done the install .. I’m curious about the sleeve you used to install the kw front perch . Is that a sleeve that comes with the kits to know where to install the perch ? I’m confused as to how far the sleeve can go down usually there’s a positive stop or ring/groove or tab that needs to support the spring so it doesn’t push further down after hitting nasty bumps etc?

@TommyLGarage 4 жыл бұрын

So the spring seat (perch) that sits on the shock continues to get pushed by the weight of the car and force of the spring. The shock itself gets thicker towards the bottom so there is no way it can go all the way down. And the stock perch is seated in the same way - and it wasn’t sitting on the shock very tight anyways - I was surprised at how easily it came off

@5abivt 4 жыл бұрын

Tommy L Garage appreciate the reply !! 🙌🏼 I assumed there had to be a positive stop that prevented too much travel. I was a little confused by using the sleeve you had because I wondered if the kw wasn’t tight at that point (given variance/tolerance of diameter etc) then it would just move further down eventually. Did the instructions have any directions on what height to set them at? Or say to mark and get them to a certain measurement etc? Thx!! 👍🏼👍🏼

@TommyLGarage 4 жыл бұрын

5abivt no worries! And yes the instructions have recommended height settings but I ignored them since I wanted to be lower. This is an excellent setup and I’m very happy I got it.

Each time you alter your height, do you need to have it re-align wheels again?

@TommyLGarage 5 жыл бұрын

Double Tap Technically yes. But mostly camber will change. The idea here is to wait a week or two until the suspension settles it then get it adjusted to the height I want and then properly corner balance it

@carsandcoldbrew6489 3 жыл бұрын

So would you recommend this over the Dinan kit? What other suspension mods should you do to properly lower the M3 for street 80% and track/canyons 20%? I've been looking at the MP HAS, Bilstein B16, Ohlins, Kw, but read a review in the forums that the MP coilover did the job and were more affordable.

@TommyLGarage 3 жыл бұрын

KW HAS is most affordable but they ride rough. MP is an amazing oem solution.

Tommy, question and I apologize if i missed this. the M Performance kit does NOT effect the Adaptive Sport Suspension options does it? I am wanting to stay OEM as well and maintain the feature with this kit. Can you confirm? I have 2016 with Comp/Exec/Lighting

Nope it does not affect it at all. You can still retain it and it works well

Tommy, I got a M performance HAS kit from someone. It didn’t come with rear bump stops. Is this okay? I know that regular lowering springs do not come with it so I’m assuming I should be fine. The HAS kit stop is only a tad shorter

Is changing the yellow bump stop in the rear totally necessary? Asking because if the benefit over OEM is negligible then it saves time on not having to remove the shocks. Thanks.

Just a word of advice - the grub screw in the spring perch (front struct - see 27m 13secs) are metal. Swap them out for nylon screws like KW uses or you'll find them impossible to release in a few months. Just 9 months after I installed my BMW HAS kit, I had a full chassis tune and the grub screws were seized requiring drilling a tapping entirely new retainers!

Tommy L Garage I’m guessing it’s probably M3 size (the thread size, NOT the car - ha!). It doesn’t need to be flush so I’d probably replace with something like these: www.amazon.com/Katosca-Spacers-Assortment-Waterproof-Accessories/dp/B07PPRYX7N It doesn’t need to be strong, it’s only to stop the perch from moving with vibration and only then the spring has no load.
