15 front and 10 rear. Some go 12.5 rear but I tried it and thought it poked the tire/wheel too much for me.

Hi, nope, no rubbing, haven't had to 'cut' anything from the wheel liner.

Every time I see this picture I at first think you parked over a cement curb stop, then I realize it's the sun/shadows. :

I installed them on my M4 X Drive Comp last Thursday and have driven about 100 miles and so far the car is a bit more bouncier than I would like.

I am going to give it some more time to fully settle in. I really want to keep them as the stance is perfect. From factory the M4 sits way too high.

Bouncy?

Are you doing sport instead of sport+ in the suspension? That combo feels great. Sport+ with the springs is a bit tight. I can't imagine it any differently without a full spring/strut swap.

You shouldn't. Then again, we don't see much snow in SoCal.

Just finished installing my springs. Car looks great but I’m getting a Chassis Function Restriction error. When I read codes I don’t get any. Anyone have any clue what it can be? I’m assuming it might be one of the sensors but not sure which one as they’re all plugged in.

It’s the sensor on the top of the shock in the engine bay. It’s in the shape of a ‘+’ and it only goes one way. Like one side is longer than the other.

Check that again.

How is the ride with a few people in the car? Are the springs over all softer or firmer than stock?

ASTs are identical to stock ride. No problem driving with passengers.

Tom, do you have these in stock for an M4 Xdrive? Have the new sets eliminated the creaking spring issue I have read about?
