Description
The value of KW H.A.S. on a 2013–2018 Mercedes Benz CLS63 AMG/E63 AMG w/Airmatic rear suspension (218/212) is not just the change in stance; it is the ability to place the chassis in a more controlled operating window for the way the car is actually driven.
KW H.A.S. uses vehicle-specific springs and threaded height adjusters while retaining compatible factory dampers. It gives the owner a tunable stance rather than the single fixed drop of a conventional lowering spring, while preserving the OE damper architecture where the application is designed to do so. This makes it particularly useful when retaining compatible OE adaptive dampers or factory ride characteristics is part of the build objective.
Why Choose the KW H.A.S. for This Application?
Choose H.A.S. when you want adjustable ride height but do not want to replace compatible factory dampers. It is a more flexible stance solution than a fixed lowering spring and can preserve factory adaptive-damper functionality where KW specifies.

Enthusiast Setup Perspective
This setup makes the most sense when the suspension is being treated as part of a complete package. Final ride height, alignment, tire choice and available bump travel should be considered together rather than setting the car as low as possible. For a road-driven car, preserving usable bump travel and sensible alignment is usually more important than using the full available lowering range.
