KW Height Adjustable Springs for BMW M2 G87 – The Perfect Stance Without Compromise

For BMW M2 G87 owners in the Philippines, the factory M suspension is a marvel of engineering, but it often sits too high for the aggressive aesthetic the car deserves. Traditional lowering springs force you into a fixed drop, often sacrificing ride quality or resulting in uneven wheel gaps.

Autoclinic Philippines offers the KW Height Adjustable Spring Kit (HAS). This system is specifically engineered for the BMW M2 G87 to bridge the gap between fixed lowering springs and full coilover systems. It allows you to mechanically dial in your ride height to the millimeter while retaining the full functionality of your factory Adaptive M Suspension.

The BMW M2 G87 is a heavy, high-power vehicle (~1,725 kg). KW engineers their springs specifically to handle this weight, ensuring that the car does not "crash" over bumps or feel under-damped, which is a common issue with cheaper spring alternatives.

How KW Height Adjustable Springs Improve the M2 G87

Unlike a "sleeve kit" that might rattle or bind, the KW Height Adjustable Spring Kit is a complete solution developed on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. It replaces your stock springs and spring perches with a sophisticated, adjustable system.

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.

KW HAS vs Factory BMW M2 G87 Suspension

Feature Factory M Sport Suspension KW Height Adjustable Spring Kit
Ride Height Fixed (High wheel gap) Adjustable (Individual lowering)
Damping Electronic (Adaptive) Retained (Works with Factory Electronic Dampers)
Stance Conservative Aggressive / Flush Fitment
Adjustment Method None Threaded Spring Perch (Mechanical)
Comfort Level Factory Standard Sport-Comfort (Optimized for stock shocks)
Bump Stops Standard KW Specific (Included for proper travel)

The transition from the factory suspension to the KW HAS (Height Adjustable Spring) kit is about achieving M-level performance with precise mechanical height adjustment. For M2 enthusiasts who drive aggressively or want flexibility for varying Philippine road conditions, KW HAS overcomes the limitations of fixed factory ride height while improving handling balance and control—without the complexity of a full coilover system.

Professional Installation & Support

Installing height-adjustable springs requires specialized tools and knowledge to ensure the threads are protected and the sensors for the Adaptive M Suspension are not damaged.

What's Included in Autoclinic Installation:

Precision Fitment: Removal of stock springs and installation of KW height-adjustable perches and springs.

Ride Height Calibration: We set the vehicle to your desired height (within TUV approved limits) to ensure clearance for speed bumps and driveways.

Wheel Alignment: Essential after any suspension work to prevent rapid tire wear and ensure the car tracks straight.

Sensor Calibration: Ensuring your M2's ride height sensors communicate correctly with the ECU after lowering.

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.
