KW HAS Vs KW V3

Hi guys just picked up a 2008 m3 with EDC.

want to lower it, mainly for aesthetics but I do occasional track day.

Can get my hands on a used V3 kit (non EDC) or new HAS kit.

In terms of performance, as looks will end up same, how would the HAS kit with EDC compare to V3 non EDC ? Is it worth spending extra on V3?

Thank you

HAS is a stock strut with a threaded sleeve over it and a different spring. HAS combines a spring of a different spring rate than original with the factory strut which isn’t valved for that spring then reduces the shock travel. HAS is not comparable to the V3 coilover kit in terms of performance.

I would definitely go with the V3. I think you would be much happier
