The best way to actually fix your car permanently is to find a set of OEM springs and perches someone has left over from a HAS install and pull your car apart and install the OEM stuff back on the car.
How low was the car dropped on the KWs? Thought the KW HAS are nearly identical (but allow more of a drop) to the MPHAS since KW makes the MPHAS for BMW. Either the ride was super stiff because it was dropped really, really low or the KW springs are stiffer than the MPHAS.

For anyone who’s driven the car on both the stock setup and MP HAS, how does the MP HAS affect the ride quality and handling? Is it mostly a waste of money if you don’t care really care that much about the wheel gap?

I have M Performance HAS on my 2024 G87. Lowered 15 mm all around. Firms the ride one "step" in my opinion; Comfort now is like what Sport was before, sport is now like track was before, track is really tight. Still a nice ride for me, my my wife preferred the standard G87 suspension.

do most ppl who have it get it port installed or buy after and have dealer install? debating whether to add and $3100 seems pretty steep for just wheel gap.

Garage List
quotes for spring install and alignment around here from the best non-dealer shops ranged from 1250-1800, height adjustable springs are like what 1500 just to buy the kit? The dealer will charge you 2.5k+ just to install.

MPHAS makes tons of sense if you plan to keep your car in the good graces of BMW warranty and want it lower.

Fully lowered on my 2024 port installed HAS. One of the best option decisions on any car I’ve ordered. Highly recommended.

Agreed port installed HAS is a great option to include in the build.
