With the KW H.A.S. kit I would imagine you wouldn't need a cancellation kit since the stock struts are reused.

I am on Bilstein B16 and no complaints. The struts plug right in for dampening control which was a big seller for me. I do have FAL so this version does not have front adjustable height perches but the rear does. If you don't have FAL there is another version where the front and rear are height adjustable.

Bilstein B16 coilovers and DSC if you want to lower your car do it right :-). With Bilstein you can adjust the height you need no cancellation kit combine it with DSC and you get a really nice flexible setup.

I'm not exactly sure about the kit, World Motorsports in Torrance, CA ordered it for me.
I found NO difference between stock ride quality, no bottoming out, no rubbing. I have FAL so that was also a huge concern for me.
I am running stock rims with stock size tires, but Cup 2's.

The difference is vehicle rotation. Now my car really rotates well with very little sign of understeer.

Techart and DSC; more control than I am capable of reasonably extracting from the car.

KW kit is great for fine tuning height. Have a set on my widebody hellcat challenger and it rides like stock and retained the adjusable damping of shocks. Have Techarts on TTS however.

Eibach's and DSC controller. Techart and H&R were a little lower than I wanted to go. No appreciable ride difference from stock. If I did it again I'd probably skip the DSC. Prefer the OEM normal mode.

Looks great! if you prefer OEM why don't you just go back? Interesting as I prefer DSC but I haven't lowered my car. Are those HRE's?

Thanks! I actually installed the stock PASM controller yesterday, doing a A-B I like the sport on DSC but prefer the stock normal. I'm sure you could tune the DSC to replicate an OEM normal. Yes HRE R101 Light weights in frozen dark clear. Purchased from @wheelsboutique .

Both cars are looking phenomenal fellas. We're happy to have helped you both with the HRE wheels.

Here’s my car on HRE 540FMR with Tractive coilovers and girodisc irons.
More photos here.

Used to driving lowered cars, this one doesn’t have FAL and I don’t really have any trouble. The electronic spoiler gives me enough clearance… big bumps still get taken diagonally though..
