Yeah m4 definitely the highest in the room

Its definitely an approvement over stock but Im gonna hold out for the KW release and see how those are. Possibly go full coilover. I prefer a traditional rake. The front end sitting a tad lower than the rear but at top tire.

I still have my KW pending as well for next month; this is a fluffer for me LOL.

But if it settles as others have shown- Ill maybe just keep it.

Same here man! I really hope the front drops a bit more.. about a 12 mm drop so far. Also, drop is somewhat uneven in the rear by a few mm.

I think I can live with 10mm more--- maybe

[Vic55]

MSS and spacers on the rear--- solid

[mattssi]

Really nice drop. I actually think the front is perfect there and would raise the rear just slightly.

1. The front is light, very light- we measured it at 15mm post drop with the adjuster on max (we didnt use the oem bump stop because the ride would suck)
2. The rear has 10mm left on the adjuster so we shall see where this goes
3. The front MSS bump stop is very taut but this is where we might see some flex along with the spring compression
4. The job is quite easy to do as Ben at RGSport is very skilled with these cars
5. I drove the car about 40 miles post drop and if I didnt know it was on MSS I might have no idea it wasnt OEM. There were some roads where I could feel the ground more and thats expected but also the car now has better than OEM spring rates so the compression in comfort EDC is reduced.
6. Ben dropped a G82 yesterday and the starting height of the rear was about 3/4 of an inch higher over the tire than my car. Interesting.

For now thats really it as many have done the drop already. Now the waiting/settling game begins. Here are some before and after pics with no driving in between. Ill add more to this thread as more miles are logged.

Big shout out to r33_RGSport and his sidekick Arlo who rocked the install and spacers. Ben runs a great small business and I am happy to support him.

BEFORE:





AFTER:





With 15mm Front and Rear Spacers...there is slight reverse rubbing at full lock but Im ok with that as the plastic piece will slightly wear and the car needs it:

How did I miss your tag.
Thank you for the business as always.

I kind of posted it as a joke since 67 miles has not been a good example of front axle adjustment with this kit... most are seeing results after 300 or so.

But I like to post fair angles so no one thinks the car is lower than it is. If I post farther away and higher up the angle will skew the true change, if there is one for that matter.

By 300 miles it will be rubbing

[Vic55]

I realized I never posted the pics with the spacers (15 F and R)- very light plastic rubbing on the inner front wall only on full lock reverse. But the part that gets rubbed is just some protruding piece of inconsequential shit.

I wonder if I'm safe to run spacers (maybe 12 front, 10 rear?) on stock ride height considering I'll be lowering the car 1 inch all around when KW HAS arrives. I'm thinking I'd should still be able to run those spacers once lowered without any rubbing

12mm front should be fine and 10mm will definitely be fine pre lower but the car really needs 15mm front and 15mm rear for that super flush look as you saw in my pics. But thats personal preference for sure.

The part that rubs only on full lock in reverse is his weird plastic bubble which we heated up and it barely touches now. Ill never hear it as I only drive forward LOLOLOL.

I wonder why it only rubs in reverse. I would think full lock is full lock regardless of what direction you're going

Weight transfer.

In reverse the weight moves forward. We're talking millimetres between rubbing and not rubbing

I have 15's on the front and it doesn't bother me. Just don't do full lock or drive carefully in reverse and it's totally fine

10000%

its so lame (the part) that actually rubs... its a really weird piece of plastic that I was gonna just cut but like I said we heated it up and pushed it in... 15mm fronts are the way the car should be set up.

I rubbed at full lock going forward with 10 mm front spacers and P-zeros. No rub with MPS4S and MSS.

If you need someone to install the springs, I know a good friend who works at one of the BMW dealerships here that can help with that and alignment. He has been a BMW tech forever.
