Installing the KW HAS KIT on the BMW G87 M2!! Detailed Guide

Hey everyone, welcome back to daily downshift! Today we're installing the much anticipated KW HAS KIT on the BMW M2 G87 platform. Surprisingly, this height adjustable spring kit is installed almost identically to the RWD M3 & M4, so we weren't doing this completely blind. The springs help lower the ridiculously high height from factory on the M2 to a much more visually appealing height. Since installing the HAS kit, the car has settled even more than what you see in the video and in my opinion, it's the perfect height. Any lower and we'd probably get quite a bit of rubbing so we're happy with the result. We'll be posting a second video reviewing the new ride quality and stiffness, as well as showing how low it's gotten after settling. Enjoy the video!

It is human nature to modify. We must change, improve, make better. This is the desire of the species. To do it on a car that is more attainable is very entertaining. Cheers from the States.

I don't have it anymore sadly. I would recommend just calling a dealership and asking for it. They should know exactly what you're talking about if you ask for "top strut tower nut"

how hard are this springs vs the original ones? normaly my syle of driving is fast and im doing trackdays also but its my daily so not sure what springs i should get

@DailyDownshift Жыл бұрын

It’s definitely a noticeably harsher ride after install, but nothing too crazy. Still quite comfortable especially in comfort suspension for streets.

You should add 5-10mm to the rear to match front and get a nice "raked" look.

@DailyDownshift I should probably clarify by explaining that i have a B9.5 Audi S4. But i did H&R lowering springs with a 034Motorsport rear sway bar, and I'm about to install Bilstein B8 shocks. Congrats on the new build project!

2 days mainly because I was working solo for most of it. Did the rears in one day and fronts another day.

@@DailyDownshift As per dealer, modifying exhaust, springs will void your warranty. If you want car fixed, you must restore to original and then it will be looked at. I'm talking to dealers now about a 2024 manual m2

@DailyDownshift 8 ай бұрын

Unfortunate, but that's not the way it works with my dealer. Any service or warranty work is done on the car as long as my modifications didn't cause the problem. I've had previous warranty work completed with my BMW dealer and they had no problem with any of my mods. This was on a 2017 M2.

You have put the wrong bumpstops, you have put the fronts on the rear, thatś why they didnt fit.

@DailyDownshift 3 ай бұрын

No I think we have it right. There's 3 videos that have them oriented our way and 2 videos that have them reversed. The way we put them in, the fronts match the OEM fronts and rears match the OEM rears. I can't be 100% sure, but they look right to us based on our comparison of OEM parts and based on what some others videos do as well.

@@rsr2kx729 I appreciate the video link but some people say one way, others say the other way. Do you have a picture or link to the KW manual? That would be very helpful as I can verify for myself. If I'm wrong then I'll definitely have to swap them in my spare time before the track season.
