KW's "Sleeve over" or HAS kit includes a threaded body height adjuster, which slips over each damper on the F10 M5. You can wind the adjuster up and down the body of the damper to set the ride height anywhere you'd like within KW's large adjustment range.

The kit allows you to use the M5's EDC system, while still having full height adjustability.

I posted more information in this thread in the suspension section:

Any other projects going on with your beast?

Anyway thanks a lot for the compliment. Talking about firm or bouncy of what H&R do to our M5s, this bull is at least 3 times worse than that.
Yeah I was thinking about a tune, but I'm struggling to find a reason to want more power. KW seems like the way to go, so I might just do that first, and then see what to do from there. I'm sure nothing is as stiff as that Lambo, but man does that V10 sound incredible.

Yup that's really stiff. Believe it or not, my weight is normal, but all my fat are shaking when driving the lambo. No doubt the v10 has the sweetest Sound.

Anyway what tuning kit are u looking at? Dinan should have good stuff soon.
