Gorgeous. What is the part number and where did you go to get them installed. I’m in Scottsdale, AZ. Thanks!

That's definitely lower. I'll pray for your bumper and undercarriage.

Bought them on throtl. Came in less than a day. Great shipping. Put them on with 2 of my friends. disconnect the battery if you diy and tie the seatbelts because they wont retract if u dont.

That’s b/c your shocks can’t handle the spring rate. Stock shocks hate life on a lowered car.

That looks awesome! How has the handling changed??

Do you think the stock adaptive dampers would die REALLY prematurely with these springs… I’m tempted to pull the trigger on these. I can imagine having to swap out the adaptive dampers on our cars would be a $$ fix.

not too sure. Real common for people to lower their bmw’s and just took the car to lime creek road in austin and i’d say it handles great.

Looks great! Did you DIY? I've been looking for a set of instructions to do my own.

Thanks. Yessir, me and 2 friends did it at our shop with lifts. make sure you tie the rear seatbelts when you disconnect the motor from being leveled. If u have more questions feel free to ask.

540iSUP · 04-03-2023, 11:07 PM

If you're handy with tools you can do this yourself with some jack stands. Having a buddy and a lift would be *Chefs kiss*

The hardest part is taking apart the rear interior, but it's not really as hard as it is scary if you don't know what to pull on.

Yeah the rear interior was the easiest imo. Took about 10 min to strip.

Very Nice!! I like the drop! This may be in my near future for my M550i.

Lowering springs are so underrated, they completely change the look of a stock car

xander_g · 04-09-2024, 11:52 AM

I just got the same ones installed with 18mm and 20mm spacers and really happy with the look.

I think if I put a lip though, it will be difficult to navigate underground parking around here.
