I was lowered with H&R sport springs with those photos. Now I am with KWV3.

I heard you have to reset the chip or program something after putting on the springs on the msport...is this true? Also how do you adjust the headlight after the install?

I want to go with KW's also but I don't want to loose the dynamic suspension thing

Did you loose yours?

Do you have DHP (Dynamic Handling Package)? This is the electronic damper. Don't mix up with DDC. You can tell if you don't have the comfort function in your control. (comfort, normal, sport, sport+) vs. (normal, sport, sport+).

I don't have DDC so swapping coilovers has no affect.

I did not re-program anything actually is not necessary. My msport kit is retrofitted. I had the standard F10.

Did not bother to adjust the headlight either. Drop is minor and will not affect headlight big time.

I can control it from comfort to sport +, so I guess the H&R is the only choice for right now then?

Was the H&R low enough?

I have these selections (Eco, comfort+, comfort, sport, and sport+). So I went with h&r for now.

KW has the EDC delete option. If you set your suspension correctly, you should be happy with that setting. Changing the damping setting on the V2 and V3 isn't difficult.

Lowering your car on stock struts will eventually wear out those nice EDC struts. If they're blown, they're not cheap to replace especially when you need to trade your car in.

Not sure if you guys have the electronic damper since you don't have the normal mode.

Check your suspension and see if they have wires, if so you have ED. See photos below:

Hi

I didn't KW has the EDC delete option? I was told its not out yet. Can someone confirm this I don't mind getting KW because I want to lower it pretty low

How does the EDC delete option do, will I be able to use the sport + modes

TIA

It's out and another member here jaekeem has it.

Basically the EDC delete fixed the false signal and you will loose your electronic damper function. The DDC's throttle and steering adjustments remained.
