I would assume they wouldn’t do that without your permission. Anyway, headed back to the shop now to see what can be done. Thanks for the info!

Im at 24 1/4'' on the front and just over 24'' on the rear

Thanks for checking. It sounds like you are sitting at about the same height as I am. I have a bout 1/4 threads left all around. I'm considering dropping the front a bit more. Maybe by a 1/2 inch.

I might have ACM swap my AST springs for this.. I can't get rid of this creaking noise coming from the front. At this point after multiple shops and multiple attempts to fix it, it must be related to the ast springs themselves. This KW has drop looks great!

Thank you for posting this. I just measured my stock G80 M3 comp and I am exactly 1" higher front and back.

25, 1/4" front
25" rear.

So this is good news to me because i do not want to have to slam my front to get equal or very close to equal wheel gap.

Thanks again for the measurements and confirming that you are not max low up front.

We still have about another ~10mm adjustment range in rear when setting for 1 finger gap.
