KW H.A.S. M5 system for 550i?
Alright, so I'm getting kind of fed up with the suspension options for my 550i with EDC and ARS.
While I can get the KW V1/2/3's and get the EDC delete kit, my installer (Turner MS) said they don't feel comfortable installing them because I have ARS and others have told me the same when I specify I have the active roll stabilization. Also, if I ever have to go to the dealer and get my ARS tested, and the EDC delete modules are installed; the update/diagnostic will not finish without re-installing the factory shocks or at least having them nearby to plug in. Video of what I'm talking about... So what are my options? I have the H&R sport springs which gave me a great drop, but it's too uneven for my tastes and my rear wheel gap is driving me nuts. I can get the Dinan Shockware to improve the ride but it doesn't help the height issue. So I randomly search for what KW has to offer for our F10 M5 brothers and they have the H.A.S. system MSRPing for around $1700. Info on the KW H.A.S. system: Quote:
So that sounds perfect. I know a few guys who have them on their S4's with EDC and they love it too. I figure, worst case scenario I can just order custom springs through KW to support the weight difference (if any) and spring rate and this would be ideal for most of us. Please let me know if this would be plausible or if there are any other things I should be considering. Amar |

Pretty sure it was here. Someone was selling the M5 take off springs for a friend and said they were installed on his 550 giving it a half in drop

So, I found a used set for sale, said screw it, and am gonna try it out!
I'll let you know how it goes! The weight difference between the 550i and M5 is less than 100lbs, so atleast we don't have to worry about that. |

I did receive the coils, but haven't had a chance to install. Been dealing with other issues with the car, might also part out all the aftermarket goods and trade the car in.
If I do get them installed I'll update he thread and everyone else. If anyone wants to try and see if it is possible. I'll sell the coils for what I bought them for ($775 shipped). |
