Changing H&R springs for KW Sleeve kit

I have H&R springs and the car sometimes feels bouncy in the front,I ordered KW sleeve kit and springs to be able to control ride height,corner balance and to get rid the bouncy effect.

Anyone has made this before ?

KW HAS kit is much less bouncy. It's a nice setup.

Had the H&Rs for 1.5 years, took them off a couple months ago. Totally agreed on the bounce.

I have the KW H.A.S. kit going on shortly (next week or so). I'll post my feedback once installed and driven. That said though, I am also adding the comp. pkg sways so that will alter the review a bit.

Hey Chris. Why'd you choose the H.A.S kit over the Variant 3 setup?

I agree with this. Ride in a car that has V3s and you will be convinced.

Did this car a few weeks ago with the HAS kit and have sold several without any complaints.. With that said I do not think you can go wrong with the HAS kit but the V3 kit does provide you with the "complete" upgrade.

p.s. HAS kits in stock

EDC. Just didn't feel like loosing it completely, and if I don't like the H.A.S. I'm guessing it will sell a bit easier.

I've driven one. Yes, it is very good. Just not my thing. See my response to runningthingz.

I decided for the H.A.S because I like the suspension button,its nice tone able to control hardness depending on the situation.
