Same!

I know both kits had some issues when they came out a few years back. KW was sending the wrong rear spring. But owned it and sent all of us who had the wrong spring the new one.

But all those unhappy AST coil bind posts Ive seen over the years really seem to make me lean towards KW.

Our kits are supposedly compatible with the G87, but since I have a G82 X-Drive, not sure if the spring is right.

Its probably not. But all of the kits are the same way, including BMW HAS. I found the KW has to ride very nice in comfort mode in my G80X. I find that stock comfort in the G87 is not nearly as smooth as stock comfort mode in the G80.

I worry the KW HAS will ride rough. Heck, I worry any of the HAS kits that are used in M2/M3/M4 across the board are going to ride rough.

Dinan appears to have come out with a M2 specific HAS kit though!

That DINAN kit looks interesting! I'll have 1200 miles to do some research.

Yes it does. And it’s not outrageous in price.

I’m at 750 miles and eager to drop this 4x4 immediately!
