MSS Spring Update

Vic55 · 02-28-2022, 02:05 PM

Not scientific but you can see how the AFTER and BEFORE looks even though, I completely missed the delta on location (not really trying)

AFTER

BEFORE

Received my kit over the weekend and finally installed it today. The front is fully bottomed out. Added brightness to the second pic to eliminate the shadow. Stance looks good.

Looks good and the right drop front and rear--- did you fix the rear or leave it dropped like before or were you not lowered it all prior to this weekend??

I had the rear set to that height from my previous drop. My goal was to match the front with the rear once the update comes out. The rear is half a finger length lower than the front right now. Looks perfect to me. The look I was trying to go for.

I think we are fairly close in drops--- you have pirellis which are taller though

Any vendors selling this 'update kit'?

I believe all new kits are the updated ones in nature ...

Thanks for the response, but I already have the previous version on my G82. Just looking to replace the front kits.

Oh I thought you wanted the full updated kit... in this case where did you get your first kit at? (retailer)

mzcp · 03-01-2022, 02:54 PM

Any of you notice the new springs being softer or firmer?

I was on similar roads I always use and I quite frankly forgot they were swapped... I had that nice taut feeling but with the MSS endurance of the bumps.

Ive take the car up the speeds (triple digits) its fine- but I still need to get an alignment.

Im happy!!

Edit I run the edc in Sport

Once the drop settles I will raise it a tad bit. Right now the rear and fronts are at the same height at 26 3/8" measured from the ground to fender. I have heard the front should be higher than the rear due to oversteer issues. Not sure if this is necessary though since I thought the M3s have a 50/50 weight distribution. Any thoughts?

Thank you. Will do.

Adding miles- opened it up quite a bit yesterday almost hitting the limiter... this shit is stable as fuck. And I still need an alignment

MSS: Better late than never.

Just received my replacement, spring tolerance is way tighter than what was originally provided. Will DIY in week or two. Ben do you recommend we go full lock? Or leave some room? Getting new wheels OE size and PS4S in 2-3 months. Don't want it slammed.
