M4 2WD and xDrive use the same springs from AST. Only a small fraction needed the spring isolators repositioned, which have all been inspected and corrected.

Springs are in stock.

ASTs are identical to stock ride. No problem driving with passengers.

Get them so then I can see if I should too!! Where would we go to have installed/aligned, Faulkner?

I'm not sure if they would install them. Ride height is driving me nuts 🤣 Did your car get on the ship yet?

Yeah, ETA is Tues, 3/7, but I have 2 dreaded stop sales…
With the amount of business we bring Faulkner, I think they would do an install. I have a great rapport with service.
Have you considered H&R sport springs, or is that not enough of a drop? I'm waiting to see if this AST fix holds up.

ASTs are a much better ride than the H&Rs.

Tom, order placed! Can't roll with the high rider anymore

I will see if they will do the install. Yeah 6 new cars in the last 4 years from them.

Good luck with the stop sales. It's horrible trying to get a car.

My car arrived yesterday, and the 2 stop sales have already cleared. Shouldn't be too long now to get trucked over. Keep me posted on your install so I can eventually follow suit

tom @ eas · 03-10-2022, 04:43 PM

G80 M3 springs are en route from AST and should have them by early next week, shipping in order received.

AST G82 M4 Springs in stock.

DS_BMW · 03-10-2022, 05:52 PM

Tom, my springs arrived. All of the spring isolators are in the correct place so no messing with them before install?

Also are stock bump stops left original or are they cut? Just want to make sure and let my installer knows whats needed. Thanks.

Should be good with the Mich’s! They don’t
Seem like to rub like my wonderful P0’s do…
15/12 is the way! Looks great my friend. Enjoy!

LOL

You are correct but I have tried a used set of 18mm's up front and my car has no issues with the fairly aggressive drop and PS4's.

DS_BMW · 03-14-2022, 11:50 PM

I'm very impressed how the AST springs ride so far. I was not expecting this!

tom @ eas · 03-15-2022, 12:55 PM
