G80 M3 with MSS height adjustable spring kit

MSS borrowed our G80 M3 to finish development of their Height Adjustable Spring kit.

I've been driving the car for a week with the prototype set up and am happy with the ride comfort and handling so far. Will share more details when the product is ready for launch in the next week or so.

Features:

Lowers up to 32mm front and up to 30mm rear (when fully settled)
Uses Motorsport Grade Eibach Springs made to MSS specification
Triple spring rate arrangement on the rear (2 springs one of which has 2 spring rates in one spring)
CNC Machined adjusters made in the UK
Fit into stock spring locations

Car also has 15mm spacers all round.

Also, why was this moved to a technical section that is not even visible in the G8x forums? Makes no sense!

looks good! less drop won't do it for me so I guess the M Performance HAS with 20mm max is a no go.

Thanks for the info Imran, how is the ride for daily drivability? I love the fact that I can go back to stock height for track purposes.

Love the fact that we can raise it a bit. I'd like it a tad higher in the rear, with a little more forward rake.

Definitely looking to get these once they've been tested and they become available.

The ride is comfortable like all MSS products due to the triple spring rate on the rear.

Same here. I like a little more rake, but the kit seems like a solid option.

Still have to lower the arms as the springs are under too much tension to turn the adjuster.

I wanted these for my RS3...that is until 3 installers in Southern California said they were a nightmare to install and I decided to go with the KW HAS system. I want these and hoping on the BMW side to find it a easier process. I do have a shop in mind that worked on my Zupra and specializes in BMW.

Go to EAS or Studio RSR for installation. I had the MSS on my M2C and the ride was much improved from stock. I might buy them again or try the KW HAS

They are not difficult to install. We have made a full installation video in any event which will be live on Friday which should help those shops that are unsure.

Sorry for the noob question but is MSS quality comparable to KW? I am liking to drop amount on the MSS over KW.
