On my 23 M3 6spd: I have 13F / 10R, front only lowered on Eibach springs with PZeros and no rubbing. I have an extra 15mm set of spacers and thinking of going 15F and 13R since the front could be pushed out a bit more.

Anyone running KW HAS Kit with P-Zero and 12mm Front / 15mm Rear spacers? Have any issues rubbing?

I'm installing my KW HAS Kit sometime next week and can't decide on which setup to go with lol

Options:
1. 12mm Front / 15mm Rear
2. 12mm Front / 12mm Rear
3. 13mm Front / 13mm Rear

Any input would be greatly appreciated! So many mix reviews on which size spacers to go with.

It will depend on how much you’re lowering by, most go for 12mm front / 15mm rear. You might get some rubbing on the rear if you go to low. But if you do get any rubbing front or rear you can just raise the car slightly.

These guys normally give some good information out. Not fitting KW in this video but they fit the spacers with the MSS kit.

Thanks, I'll def check out the video. I've been debating between KW HAS Kit and MSS. I think MSS you drop a bit lower than HAS.

Do you have the product number for the updated MSS Kit?

The product code is MSS.02bBMWMG28 in the US.

You’ll see mixed reviews between MSS and other brands. You’ll find in the aftermarket industry that customers are very loyal to the brand they know.

Suspension is very subjective and we all like a different set up to others, it also depends where you mainly drive. I’ve always preferred a softer setup as my local roads are very poor. But some like a stiffer setup as it adds drama and feels sportier.

Check out our instagram if you want to learn more about us, I also have an MMS account and do behind the scenes bits and bobs if you’re interested in that. barrie_mssautomotive

Good luck with your install

Will I experience any rubbing running a 12mm Front and 15mm Rear on H&R Springs (Non-Super Sport) on PZeros? ... Or Should I Switch over to 10mm on the Front?

this is a complete non-issue IMO, the pirellis rub on a plastic vent fin in the wheel well, all you need to do is slightly trim or bend it and the problem is solved. You don't need to go with a smaller spacer due to this.

Agreed. A total non issue. Installed 12.5mm spacers in the front and the left wheel was slightly rubbing the fins. My car is not lowered. Used a heat gun and a 2x4 wedge to push the fins back. Works great....

Procedure starts at 6m 50 seconds

Where did you get the springs and spacers from?

Also, is there more likelihood of rubbing with a G80 or G82 and does xDrive add to that further? - Anyone can answer this one and chime in
Following to see the answer for these. I ended up getting 12mm all around

Anything higher than 10mm on fronts will rub with the pirellis without any fender modifications.
