Is there a non-oem alternative for the front struts with edc?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you in advance.

I have KW HAS installed on mine. It allows lowering and keeps your EDC in operation.

I looked at their coilover kit but I thought their struts required edc to be disabled. I'll give em another look.

I also use the KW HAS. There are other companies like Dinan or H&R offering the same setup. These height adjustable spring kits work well on our cars, but they won't reach the performance level of a full coilover kit with EDC deletion, like a KW V4.

The HAS kit isn't a replacement for the strut, it just replaces the spring and adds a collar for height adjustability.

Thank you, yeah I am just looking for strut or strut assembly that works with EDC. From what I have been able to find the only option is the OEM strut.

I'm not aware of any. Personally I don't miss the electronic adjustment at all given how good the KW3s feel on this car.
