This is good news because most of the members with MSS wasn't too happy with the moderate drop in the front.
I wonder if this involves a revised rubber seat or a new spring all together, or even both.

There is definitely more room in the front.

MSS invited us a few weeks , Ben was there too. They did an install on the M3 and took all our feedback.

That's when they told us, they will be sending new kits free of cost and will be sending tester kits to dealers who have the kit

i personally like it for a daily driver, i don't want the drop to be too aggressive but i agree that there should be at least the option for customers to lower it even more

Do I need a lift to install the kit or can I install it on jack stands?

Jack stands will work. A little tough to get leverage for the rear, but doable. I tightened up the rear camber bolts as much as I could and let the alignment shop spec it up.

Looking forward to the free update lowering kit as I'm very happy with these springs on both street and track, but I'd really like the front another 5mm lower.

Do you have a picture for the lower adjuster? I had a shop put in on for me 3 months ago so I don't really remember.

I'm transferring this to my incoming XDrive in March so I'd like to know what to tell the shop then

I did not , I asked the MSS guys about it and they said that if I want the car lower, I should just wait for the new kit.

After I removed the adjuster, it's enough for a daily driver. But I'll try the new kit since its free

What was the reason behind the decision to reuse the OEM bump stops vs. the MSS ones?
