AST springs
Is it just me or the AST springs ride extremely rough? I want to preface this with saying this is not my first lowered car and I’ve never had a issue with a harsh ride in any car. For some reason though it feels like every bump I hit the shocks are bottoming out and it feels absolutely terrible. Are there any other options out there to get similar stance with a better ride?

I have the AST. Car rides great in all modes.
Inhave none of the issues some have voiced. Only reason I’d change them out is to go lower. |

I have had numerous vehicles with various suspension setups. Full coil over w/ many other components upgraded to just springs. I went with the AST’s for my 23 M3CX and I am very happy with them. They ride great, they provide the perfect ride height (for me) and I maintain the factory suspension adjustablity. Not sure why you are experiencing what you’ve described above?.?
Hopefully you are able to get it worked out.🤞🏼 I am super happy with mine. |

I have the Eibach pro lowering kit for front and rear. Hopefully will have them installed soon.

Do you now have Eibach installed on the rear? If so, how is it compared to your previous springs? |

I had MSS springs before and now I have the front and rear springs from Eibach. Honestly, the experience with previous springs were so bad, I was about to go back to oem springs. The Eibach springs are night and day difference and it's oem+ to me. The ride is very compliant and the car no longer crashes over bumps. Now I did user shorter bump stops although Eibach doesn't have a set that comes with springs. Personally I think you should buy some if you decide to go with Eibach. The most important thing here is I'm not doing acrobatics getting in and out of entrances and scraping up my front lip.
