Best spring + spacer combo? 24 m4c x-drive

looking for a subtle/modest ( not too aggressive ) drop for my 24 M4C, x-drive specifically. What's the best spring/spacer combo w/ out issues w/ rubbing ( non-HAS ) ? Pics would also be appreciated !

Eibach pro-kit for M4 is four springs. About 20mm drop all the way around. Nice drop, but you don't sh.. yourself driving it around worrying about scrubbing, etc.

Spacers - I think 12/13 all around or 12/13 back w/ 15 in front are most common.

I have a 24 M4XC with the M Competiton suspension, pilots, 15mm front and 12mm rear future classic spacers. No rubbing and it sits really nice. Before and after here. Love this setup, not too aggressive and rides excellent. You could do the KW HAS for a bit cheaper and get a little more drop if you prefer. I went with the BMW part number just in case it helped with a future warranty need.

Best is highly subjective. What looks good and works for you might be trash for someone else.

Best bet...there are a TON of threads in the dedicated forum asking this very same question to peruse..

Most people are going HAS since the price jump isn't much more than a fixed set of springs and gives you the option to raise/lower the vehicle later down the road in case you change your mind later.

Otherwise, we've always had great results with the AST lowering springs. As for spacers, we always used Macht Schnell, which has been our go-to for the past 15 years.

Here's a AST Spring/Macht Schnell 12F/12R for reference (Pirelli tires). Usually we go a little wider in the rear, but customer wants to lean a bit on the conservative side as he often has passengers in the rear. If you're near the Anaheim area, drop by and I'd be happy to discuss options in person as well as show you the kits, most everything is in stock.
