KW HAS Kit with Bilstein?

Does anyone know if any of the Bilstein front struts work with the KW HAS kit or only the OEM ones do?

Thanks.

Only works with OEM damper which has a larger diameter than the Bilstein damper. Also, the Bilstein lower spring mount/seat is welded to the top of the damper.

The HAS kit won't work as mentioned above.

You could do something like this GC kit though: https://groundcontrolstore.com/colle...cs-jrz-ast-etc

OP - I’d recommend calling GC before purchasing their kit for Bilstein. I believe this kit is for Bilstein motorsport dampers, not their inverted strut street dampers. Just verify if this spring kit is compatible with the B16. It won’t work with the B4, B6, B8 and B12 dampers.
