We'll verify as soon as we're able to get one in, or when AST has updated info.

No worries, I kid... mostly.

ROBERT1183 · 08-30-2021, 07:23 AM

I got to see one in person yesterday at a cars and coffee lowered on these with spacers and it looked perfect.

I don’t mind being the guinea pig if you want, I came in today for the spacers; mine is an xdrive.

Wheel gaps definitely more visible with spacers lol

Have a set of springs allocated for an AWD coming in for test-fitting on 9/21.

Will follow up as soon as we can verify. The flip side is - we may be sold out before then.

This is exactly my fear (sold out before...) What's the return policy like then, if I were grab a set and sit on them in hopes they work for the AWD?

At the moment, they are not AWD specific (not confirmed). You can always purchase a set and ask to hold in the meantime so they prevents unnecessary shipping costs if testing doesn't confirm fitment. Send me a quick PM if this is what you want to do.

Otherwise, we'll know by next week.

Another AST spring install, Pirellis were removed with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 in its place.

Vehicle: 2021 BMW M3 Competition
Suspension: AST Lowering Springs

Enjoy!

LukeM15 · 09-13-2021, 07:06 PM

^^looks good…

Now why does the front wheels looks like it can handle a bigger spacer? Maybe 12 it looks so pushed in

New PS Cup 2s are pretty wide, was better to keep it a bit conservative to avoid rubbing the fender liners.

Yup that’s what I thought

BIGW0RM · 09-13-2021, 08:54 PM

Any idea what the stock rates are and the AST rates are?

My ride haha. Thanks

IMO, AST's kit does the best job dropping the front low enough when compared to all other current options (really not much to pick from at the moment). H&R and MSS didn't seem to lower the front enough for my liking. I'm planning to get coils once more options come out, hopefully something in the 2-3k price range since I won't be tracking the car.

Going to mess around with 12mm spacers up front just to find out if it will rub or not. Would be sweet if I could pull those off.

The rear rubs a very slight amount. Just enough to be annoying. Going to switch to a 5mm. 12F and 5R might be the move...

Shit… just ordered one of Tom’s last sets with 12/15s lol. Dr. Requests the sawzallllllllll!

Edit: Looking forward to reporting back post install -- Thank you Tom for helping me out! Also, for anyone looking for aftermarket -- Tom is a class act. Dude stayed up PM' ing me back and forth on my spacer venture. Thank you Tom for everything!

eg80sc · 09-21-2021, 03:04 PM

Confirmed fit for xdrive

They should post pics later. It drives great, I feel no difference from stock except not having to see ugly gap in the front

Professional as always, they knocked it out quick this morning
