I definitely will need help with installing the springs and then alignment. You can PM the info.

So its been a paltry 72 miles since I did the drop I basically drove it home and then drove it the next day for a short period. So about 1 1/2 weeks later I decided to take the G80 out. Honestly I totally didnt even think about the spring swap as it was out of sight out of mind.

I drove about 16 miles and ripped the shit out of the car into turns and straights hitting at least 13X on the express way. I also drove it on my regular roads where most are paved well but some had crack repair. I completely forgot this car lowered (albeit slightly up front) and this does say alot about the MSS ride quality.

So now I need to keep driving it but I think its gonna be a while for me.

After the drive and obviously no change:

Hey do you get any clicking sounds when you're doing parking lot speeds and turning?

Lots of clicking sounds coming from my front end.

No, nothing at all.

Can you elaborate??

Mine is making all kinds of clicks when I'm parking.

Hard to describe other than calling it loud clicking as I'm turning while rolling at low speeds.

Does not happen while stationary and turning the wheels.

I'm going back to RG to have him inspect my racechip since I'm also getting reduced power and a CEL now.

I'll have him scope the suspension at the same time.

I think it is the dreaded rotor clicking noise.
I think BMW should stick to one piece non-floating rotor since their floating rotor is half-ass design.

When I had my F80 and dropped it on Eibach springs, when I'd make turns at parking lot speeds going almost full lock I'd get a ticking noise from the front... I think it might have to do with how the top mounts have been reassembled. My M2 with basically the same F80 suspension is dropped on Eibach springs, too, and no noises whatsoever. However I had a local shop do my F80 drop and a mod-friendly BMW dealer do my M2 drop.

Just had mine installed. It rides like stock, not even noticeable at all which speaks to the quality of the product.

Rear looks perfect, front looks good too but needs to settle as we all know.

Will get some pics over the weekend once I put some miles on it.

Install was less than 2 hours and priced very reasonably. I know someone mentioned getting quoted crazy prices for install but a couple of hundred bucks should do it

I love my RWD G80 so the AWD should be just as amazing plus faster from a dig. I still want to see how it steers as the RWD has excellent front end grip and steering. The AWD could hurt that. Who did you get your car from???

Hey Vic! Can you measure what the side skirts are to the ground? Trying to compare that with my F82. My buddy just ordered an AWD M4 so Just was wondering how low he can get it. I've never checked my car but i will tonight. The new ones seem to be higher but hard to say just by pictures. Thanks homie
