I think the drop according to other sources I've seen is:
Lowers Front: Approx. 32MM Lowers Rear: Approx. 25MM Also, these will not work on 2022 xDrive vehicles. Edit: Looks like I was wrong folks. According to the new adds to this thread, these do fit xDrive vehicles. Sorry for the mistake!

We've installed ASTs for years on previous M3 & M4s (and even i3s), ride quality is similar to stock and not overly stiff other lowering spring brands. More pics to follow after another install tomorrow.
Never said didn't work, just have not verified yet. Waiting on word from AST or as soon as we can get underneath an AWD.

concur....
Ill say this (nothing about these springs or this thread); the issues getting a proper spring drop on the G8X has been a bit cumbersome vs prior iterations. We have either had: settling issues short front drops short rear drops product delays across the board vague product descriptors etc...

Im sure other companies have things coming. H&R Has Kit is usually good (at least it was with the F8x) lots of adjustability I’m waiting on that also. |

Yea, I guess since I haven't seen a stock rear in person I'm maybe underestimating how much it needs to drop to sit proper.
I only have recent experience with Eibach springs (on my F80 and M2) but based on your and some other folks' feedback, H&R is a tad too bouncy and the MSS rides really well.. I DM'ed one guy on IG that has AST springs and he claims they ride better than OEM... that would be nice considering how low these go and still use the OEM bump stops (H&R seems to provide shorter bump stops for their moderate drop). I agree with your assessment, though that so far with the G8x, it's been more of a PIA than other platforms to get right lol

Yea from that picture, it definitely seems like the M3 needs more than 10-15mm to close that rear gap. 25mm seems more like it, as you said... the M4 needs like a 50mm drop!
