Retains Factory Adaptive M Dampers
This is the most critical feature for M2 owners. The KW system integrates seamlessly with your stock shock absorbers. You do not need to deactivate your electronic dampers. Your "M Mode" settings (Comfort, Sport, Sport+) continue to function exactly as BMW intended, but with a lower center of gravity and sharper turn-in response.
Continuous Lowering Technology
Standard lowering springs offer a fixed drop (e.g., -30mm). If that drop is uneven or causes rubbing, you are stuck with it. The KW kit uses threaded spring perches made of resistant composite materials. This allows your technician to adjust the lowering level continuously within a tested range. You can achieve the perfect "flush" fitment for your specific wheel and tire setup.
Improved Driving Dynamics
By lowering the vehicle's center of gravity, body roll is reduced during cornering and pitch is minimized during acceleration and braking. The spring rates are developed specifically for the G87's damper characteristics, offering a sportier drive without the harshness associated with "race" springs.
Built for Longevity
KW uses high-quality chrome-silicon steel for their springs and a dust-resistant trapezoidal thread for the height adjusters. This is crucial for the Philippine climate; the components are designed to resist corrosion and debris, ensuring that the height adjustment remains functional even after years of use.

Frequently Asked Questions – BMW M2 G87 KW HAS Suspension
No. The KW Height Adjustable Spring Kit is designed to work with your factory shock absorbers. This is a huge benefit because it allows you to keep the expensive and sophisticated electronic damping system that came with your M2 G87.
The height is adjusted mechanically using the threaded spring perch. While it is possible to do it yourself, it requires jacking up the car and removing the wheels to access the adjuster. We recommend having the height set professionally at Autoclinic to ensure corner-balancing and alignment are maintained.
Generally, suspension modifications only affect the warranty of the specific parts changed (the springs). Your engine, electronics, and other systems remain covered. However, policies vary by dealership, so we recommend consulting your service advisor. KW provides its own warranty on the spring kit components.
The tested lowering range for the G87 is approximately 15-30mm on the front axle and 10-25mm on the rear axle. This "moderate" drop is designed to maximize performance and looks without ruining the shock absorbers' travel range.
Yes. A full coilover system (like KW Variant 3 or 4) replaces the entire shock and spring assembly. This KW Height Adjustable Spring Kit replaces only the springs and perches. It is the perfect middle ground for drivers who want the look and adjustment of a coilover but want to keep the convenience of their factory electronic suspension buttons.
