Also my back passenger side is now making a clicking sound so I'm going to have the mechanic see if a bolt is loose. To be honest, the springs do look beat up for just 1k in miles on them. If this doesn't fix it, I'm going back to oem springs. The bad part about this is 2k in springs and install is a hard pill to swallow. I'm hoping more will come forward so there will be a recourse to return.

Are you on the new set of springs?

Macht Schnell spacers, 10mm front 12mm rear, on Pirellis. front rubs the fender liner, backing up, with the wheel turned past 50%. I have HAS on order, hopefully, I can get away with the 10mm fronts when the car is lowered, a little.

Yes, V2.... im supposed to have guy reinstall my passenger side this week hopefully to see if it stops the noise. Also have him look at springs to see if any damage is done to them. I only have maybe 1k on them since installed.

I had installed the new set of springs multiple times and could not eliminate the noise. I ended up going back to the old springs and issue resolved. I truly believe there is a bad batch of front new springs out there.

As for the back springs they are still using the original. There shouldn't be any clicking sound since the bolts in the back are very snug.

Can you post a pic of your current ride height?

Omg even 10 in the front rubs? I just bought the 10mm and I have Pirelli too. Others said it won't rubs

That was my impression. It definitely rubs, and it rubs pretty good, hard over, in reverse.

Here you go. The ride is actually compliant except for huge gaps or certain pot holes but that's with any car with low profile tires. I really love the way it looks and hate to go back but if this next adjustment doesn't work, I may have to. I don't know what MSS return policies are especially after owning springs for a while. They didn't install them so it's easy for a company to place blame on installer. BMW tech installed mine and I am confident of his skill level and he is the only person that works on all of my cars.

Before you return them, I would highly suggest using the old springs if you have them. I ended up going back to the old springs but used the new seat since it's thinner than the old one. My issue has been resolved. Below is a pic. I still have 10mm of threads left for adjustment if I wanted to go lower.

Once you pull out the springs that are currently installed and there is paint missing you know it's binding.

Unfortunately, when I purchased mine, the V2 was out so I only have 1 set. I will see today hopefully.

Reach out to Ben from RG Sport. I think he mentioned he still has sets of the old springs.

Mashour · 07-14-2022, 01:06 PM

Recently swapped out the pirellis for ps4s. Thinking 15mm squared and lowering on ast springs. I want that aggressive look from the rear and want to bring out the front tires more to the fender line. Definitely do not want to rub or have any issues. Thoughts?

So I got my car back from shop and the installer reinstalled the passenger side spring. He said it was pretty beaten up and I forgot to ask him to take pictures. The sound has gone away for now and I haven't had chance to get on back roads to see if its binding. He drove it and said he did hear a faint bind but could not replicate it. Also retorqued rear suspension. I did have him install 18mm spacers on front and put 15mm on rear. Looks perfect now.

There shouldn't be any bind, period. Unless you were driving over large craters. Something is definitely wrong with your springs. You should still be able to inspect the springs while on. Just need to remove the wheels.

Any idea if 15mm kicks rocks up? Debating whether I should go with 12 or 15 in the front but worried about the paint. Found out I have Pirellis, too, so will most likely have to cut those 2 fins on the front to avoid rubbing.

Yes ypu will have rocks kicking up on side of car. If I were you I would order some TLG mud flaps and you will thank me later. I installed mine the day I got my car.

Hello everyone
Did anyone feel a slight vibration at the steering wheel from 120km/h after installation of KW HAS and spacer.
I haven't done the alignment yet I'm waiting for the car to be well seated

Thank you for your answers

Mashour · 08-29-2022, 09:47 PM

I'm thinking 15mm squared. I have ps4s. Will I rub if I'm not lowering the car just yet? I'm xDrive

Yeah she's pretty low.

I have the MSS kit that we modified to go lower

You really need Modified mss up front and kw out back to get the perfect static low
