All,

I'm thinking of getting a KW HAS kit for my m2. I have concerns over raising and lowering the car due to different size wheels/tires between my summer and winter sets being mounted and then having to lower and raise the vehicle. Would an alignment be needed every time I do this?

Thanks for the advice!

How big of a difference between your summer and winter sets that you'd need to adjust the ride height?

Looking to lower it by .5 inch to .7 inch on front and rear with the summers and all the way back to stock height on winters. Only other option is to buy a new set of winter tires with a lower profile but they have less than 2000 miles on the winters.
