Just received the ECS kit yesterday, and shared my unboxing, as well my experience trying to schedule an install, in a new thread here:

I was thinking the same as the OP here. as I want to keep the dynamic of the stagger setup .
So I went with FC 12mm around. The finish look. the rear is perfect flush. while the front can do a few more mm. |

I saw this coming from the input from others like you about the front, and why I went with this turner kit. I'm going to use the 15mm up front and the 12.5 mm in the rear. It should keep the dynamic of the stagger set up and also push those fronts out just a hair more.

That's beautiful, bro...well done. Nice to know as well on the 15 squared...if I don't like the 12.5 out back, I'll get two more 15s and do what you did.
Thanks, and again, gorgeous man!

I've got to ask, how is it on the MSS? I had the 2013 335xi in my garage lowered on H&R springs, and on any real road bump, I would hit the bump stops which would make it sound like my car was about to fall apart...it literally hurt, thats how hard I would bounce and hit the bump stops....I then replaced those springs with a KW coilover kit and it was heaven.
I haven't lowered my new M3C yet because I'm terrified of that experience again with lowering springs; adjustable or not. Was my experience just unlucky, or is there a reason I experienced that back then and you all are not now?

I do live where the roads are good though- but where I got it lowered, the roads are shit for sure. I chose the springs not so much for the adjustability but instead the ride quality.

So I received a pair of 10mm spacers from bms.
Replaced the rear 13mm with 10mm and replaced the front 15mm with 13mm. It looks less aggressive but I swear the car handles better. I’ll wait a little for the suspension to settle down and take some pics. |

When I installed the 15/13 initially I felt steering a tad slower and I think the ride got a tad bumpier on uneven highway. It wasn’t bad but wasn’t as good as stock. I certainly didn’t expect that reducing the spacers by 2 and 3 mm would make any difference but somehow it does. |

A properly installed spacer should not yield any driving adjustments on the street. I have driven multiple stock G80's with and without my 15mm set up. There are no differences with this or the 30 plus other cars Ive used spacers on. The contact patch of the tires remains the same so anomalies are probably attributed to a bad install or a bad spacer which is not hubcentric or not placed correctly on the hub.
Here is my other G80 with 15mm square setup:

Alright already, bro! I'm done looking at this and loving it…on Monday I'm still going to have my 12.5mm and 15mm spacers installed at the same time as my 1200 mile break in service but I'm ordering another pair of 15mm spacers now to replace the 12.5's. Your car looks so perfect I can't take it anymore 😂👍! Then to save a bit more for that MSS KIT!

On my M8 where I run 18/12- so debris issues. I run 12/15 on the R8 with no issues as well. These are cars Ive owned longer than the G80. The Porsche can not have spacers due to CL's.

Try for yourself. Drive around with spacers for a while then try the stock setup and see if they feel different. |
