Kw H.A.S. or. The full set up?

Rockin-The-F10 · 12-27-2016, 08:34 PM

Going to buy either the Kw HAS or the full suspension kit.
Suggestions?

The whole kit worth it? Looking like I'm about to buy the full set up, but is it worth it?
What do you guys think?

josec70 · 12-27-2016, 09:48 PM

Love my KW HAS . I think it' a good compromise between springs and coils from both a price and performance perspective.

Rockin-The-F10 · 12-27-2016, 10:56 PM

Does the full kit eliminate the electronic dampening system?
Is there a kw full kit that accommodates the EDC? Or do they all just eliminate the system with a module?

It gets eliminated with the full suspension setup. They sell the EDC delete to eliminate any system faults

So I can get both set ups for a pretty decent price new...
HAS $850 shipped
Full $2500 shipped
I seriously cannot decide which one to go with though. I like having the electronic dampener, but it's not a must. Is it even still effective with the coil HAS kit?
Car is a few years old and has 40k so I assume the shocks may be a tad worn, but certainly not bad.

Are the new shocks in the full set up going to perform significantly better than the stock shocks?
Do they act very different than the stocks?

Please fellas, tell me what you think of the 2 vs'

I run kwv3 and do not miss the edc at all. I have over 40k miles using these shocks. Best choice I made.

The OE EDC shocks are far inferior to the KW V3.
The EDC adjustibility is a gimmick in comparison to the performance and comfort the KW V3 shocks provide.

The HAS kit is just springs that work with the EDC shocks

Just for the sake accuracy, the KW HAS kit also comes with spring perches that allow for the height adjustments and custom bump stops that are designed to accommodate the new ride height.

Now I loved my hr springs. Better than stock imo because I drive the curves fast. They are Slightly bumpy to some but for me mine were great. I always knew kW was the way to go but waited awhile to purchase mine. The ride is compliant and can carve curves really well. They are height adjustable (don't go too low on them now) and you can adjust your rebound/ compression. Best bang for the buck

If your budget allows for it, definitely go the v3s. Now if you are always switching shock modes maybe go with the has. I never switched mine out of sport so coilovers was an easy decision for me.

Rockin-The-F10 · 01-01-2017, 12:18 PM

So I ended up buying the Full system. I was driving the other day and I am pretty sure I've been hearing a little noise from one of my front shocks anyways.. Soo time to replace and upgrade. The full set is in the mail.
Ended up paying $2450 for a brand new set. Not too bad I am thinking.. Had other members offer over 2k for their(severely) used sets...

$2450..Did I get a good price fellas?

Rockin-The-F10 · 01-01-2017, 12:25 PM

Thinking I may recover some cost by selling my OEM shocks to eBay. Doubt I will ever want to set it back to stock. I own the car.. so no lease return or anything.. Think I will be able to get 300 to 500 a strut. Anyone interested? lol

I think you did. I know several trying to sell theirs for 1800-2200

m5 guy · 01-01-2017, 01:12 PM

Did that price include the edc kit? If so then yes you got a good deal.
