KW H.A.S. vs. H&R Coilovers

[Rex Wilkinson]

I have a 2016 S4 with ADS. I am currently lowered on H&R OE sport spring that drop me 1.2". I want to go lower but I'm not sure KW HAS will drop me as low as I want to go. I know its the easiest way to go keeping my ADS but I read its 1.8 front and 1.6 drop rear. If I go coilover then I will have to get the KW electronic dampening cancellation kit but obtain much more drop but at a very high price. Anybody have an opinion on which way to go or have pictures of their cars dropped on the HAS?

Can't speak on the lowering capabilities of the HAS, but I just mentioned in another thread that I would highly recommend good coils (I have H&R streets and love them, best ride I've had in any lowered car) and the EDC kit, over just springs even on a car with ADS. These mods are pricey and I didn't want to do it twice because I couldn't adjust the height or because I blew the expensive ADS shocks. The real question is how often do you put your suspension in comfort mode? I never did, so my decision was a lot easier. If it's a feature you really can't live w/o then HAS is really your only option with out going way more expensive for the Bilsteins with their own independent EDS.

Here is my car lowered on kw has. The rear is all the way down and the front still has a little room to go.

I never drive in comfort mode, Thanks for the input!

Just realized the other thread was yours too, lol. Sorry to post the same advice twice. Hope it helps. FWIW, my ride height looks to be very similar to ModItNow's in his post above. When I was any lower than this I was getting a lot of tire rub (also running 8mm spacers f&r) and I was scraping on parking lot entrances even going slow at an angle. Looks like the HAS' will get you as low as you would probably want to be for a practical daily driver if you decide to go that route.
Pic of my final ride height for reference.

Are those wheels 20's?

[ModItNow]

I have 20x10's and had to raise it slightly because I was rubbing too much

Yeah I really like the look of 20's. I may have go with that for a summer wheel.

I'm on kW has with 20"x9.5 et37, 255/30/20 tires and I don't rub. Cranked pretty low, I will be raising it up incrementally until I stop scrapping on my home driveway. I wanted to retain the the EDS so I went with HAS
