Correct. You can even adjust it on your own with the included tools. Fronts are pretty easy to lower and raise on your own

Are you scrapping the canards under car on speed bumps? Mine seems to always scrape I’m wondering if VPC put mine slammed. If you measure from the ground to the lowest part of fender what’s the inches you have

Mine came with the alignment paperwork and the wrenches. Did you guys check glovebox ? My paper work was in glove box and the wrenches were in trunk

Hi all, I’m hoping to get some help regarding my rubbing issue.

I took delivery of my 25’ M3 Xdrive with P zeros this past August with MP HAS installed at the port. I received an installation receipt with a checklist of steps completed including alignment, but did not receive the alignment data sheet that many of you have.

Fast forward a month, I had Michelin pilot AS4 installed (stock specs) to prep for NA winter. With the MPHAS installed from port, I only hear occasional scraping (bottom of exhaust muffler?) from deep uneven road surfaces on nyc roads, nothing serious.

After about 1200 miles of driving, my rear wheels have settled and are more noticeably tucked in.

A few days ago, I installed FC spacers 12F/12R. When I removed my wheels, it appears that my front and rear were set at the lowest setting from the port(see attached picture). With the spacers installed, I get slight rubbing on the rear fender well even with the slightest dips on uneven road surfaces. It is more noticeable on my rear right side when I drive over nyc sewage dips. 12F/12R is pretty conservative imo, and I haven’t seen anyone else complain of rubbing with Michelins especially from the rear.

TDLR:
MPHAS at max drop front and rear, I only get scraping noise at very deep uneven road surfaces. With 12F/12R spacers, I get rubbing on rear fender well even with the slightest dips.

I’ve since removed the rear spacers. My question is, since I haven’t recieved an alignment after over 1,000 miles since the MPHAS had settled, would an alignment fix the rubbing issue with 12mm spacers in the [...]
How can you tell if it’s all the way max drop ?

After looking over my sheet that was in glove box does this mean the VPC did max 20mm drop in front and back as noted circled or am I reading this wrong

Here?s what mine looks like. If I researched this correctly 638/627 are the stock ride height front/rear. +40/-20 is the adjustability zone. My ?actual? readings show 628 front and 617 rear indicating they only dropped mine 10mm front and rear.

Yours looks different and I?m thinking your ?initial? number reading shows your ride height front and rear. So it looks like they lowered yours 7mm in rear and 18 in front.

I have scraped couple of times on big speed humps/bumps, but not on regular basis.

I scrape the driver's side canard almost every time I pull in my driveway. If I have a passenger, I usually don't scrape. I haven't scraped on any speed bumps, but I avoid them if possible. I'm at full drop front and rear. I'll try to get some measurements.

Clearance for rear adjustments with the factory tool is tight. Has anyone modified their factory adjustment tool? I'm thinking about removing some material from mine and/or bending.

Is it as easy as loosening the set screw and then using the included tool to rotate the blue part downward until it sits on the bottom black perch and that would be full low?

Just for a reference; traded in my 25 G80 base (Dravit Grey/DG) for 26 G80 base (British Racing Geen/BRG).

Took pictures side by side. Both vehicle had port installed MP Has, DG dropped 20mm front 15mm rear, BRG dropped 13mm front and rear. You can definitely see the settling of MP HAS and more than 7mm difference in height.
