Upcoming KW HAS Owner

csayad · 01-31-2022, 01:09 PM

Hey I just bought a set of KW HAS and I was wondering what the car looks like on the highest ride height after being settled for a bit. Also what feedback you guys have about them, also what your feedback is on your original warranty regarding them? Let me know! I live in the Midwest so I probably won't install them till spring.

Also when installing the KW HAS can someone verify whether I or not the battery should be disconnected. I'm pretty sure it should cuz of the EDC

You can for safety, but not required. Just keep the key away from the vehicle so it doesn't not turn on with the dampeners unplugged.

I haven't gotten to drive much on mine. NJ winter sucks so the car is away. Im currently set to the lowest recommended on the front and highest on the rear to even the gap out. Ride is about the same as stock. Maybe a tad stiffer. I had the same kit on my F80 and loved it.

How much did the shop charge you for install? I've been getting quotes from shops for 8 hours, which is kind of theft IMO.

Yeah 8 hours is insane. Should be booked out around 4 hrs. Most shops charge about $120-150 an hour. So expect about $450-600 for install.
