do you lose EDC buy installing these?

alexmj1 says:

Tommy did you do a video on how the kit ride was after install.

Matt P says:

Awesome video Tommy. I am about to order the HAS. I think I’ll tackle it myself. One thing though. Hammering the front strut has me nervous. Any alternative to this approach that you figured out over this past year ?? Thanks.

M4hdipers says:

This was a great video Tommy, where did you buy the part from? The price can vary from 1150 to 1290

Doing LBM Things says:

Great DIY. This is definitely on the list. I hope you got a Schwaben spindle housing spreader – I did my E90 330i front struts and it made it so easy to get those front struts out.

Oi Shirley says:

I literally love how easy it is to do the back which I need to because it is much to low and I wanna raise it on my e90.

Salvador DeOliveira says:

what's the torque spec for the e torx bolts at the top of the rear struts?

Joshua Singh says:

Tommy, I got a M performance HAS kit from someone. It didn’t come with rear bump stops. Is this okay? I know that regular lowering springs do not come with it so I’m assuming I should be fine. The HAS kit stop is only a tad shorter

Will Gilfillan says:

Kinda blown away that you did this without removing front top hat and using a spring compressor, but it’s genius really. Nicely done!

Bernie Hizon says:

Thank you for the video! I used this to install my HAS kit.

Mark7 GTI says:

Tommy, where in Jersey did you get your car corner balanced?

jaym1806 says:

Anyone know what the torque setting is on the 3 bolts at upper mount on top of strut ??

rude1978 says:

How much can you lower it by?

Serhiy Kareta says:

Impact screwdrivers use (such as demonstrated in the video) is prohibited per BMW service manuals, same per shock manufacturer's manuals. May cause internal shock absorber damage. Screws, nuts, bolts must be replaced per service manuals.

iDami4n says:

I just put in my order for some KW v4. Think I'm going to tackle this install my self. Tommy coming in clutch with the videos. Thank you brother! Hope you and yours are doing well!

Mauricio Jaime says:

You said you torqued the bolts to specs, what are the specs?

K - Feb says:

Did I miss the shot of the finished work! The diy video was awesome!

East N says:

Thanks for the video, Tommy. I’m tempted to do this myself. How do you adjust the height? Do you need to take the spring off or just jack up the car and use that wrench?

Jeff Kierstein says:

Tommy, just watching this now. There is nothing to lock the rear spring adjuster in place, correct? The from has the small Allen bolt. I assume the weight of the car keeps the rear stable…thanks!

Nate Mullen says:

Great video, thanks! Can this also be done on the competition version? Bigger wheels and diff suspension, not sure if this kit will be too low. Any ideas?

mr.almeida says:

I’m trying install a KW HAS KIT I can’t press the bracket as far as I’m the instructions state, I banged the hell out of it. Any suggestions?

Jake Lee says:

Excellent vid as always Tommy. Any differences in tire wear since putting the kit on and lowering?

M4hdipers says:

Thank you for the video! What is the maximum drop height? I am considering to put these on my F83

Jon Nellas says:

Hi tommy hows the ride? The sport and sports plus mode is working? I heard if you lowered to much the suspension mode is not working
