It's been a week since the drop and now the car has settled nicely. The rear still looks the same but the front is slightly lower, very minimal after a week. I love the stance and with the spacers the car looks so aggressive, the look of the car has been transformed by these minimal changes. I also have a thread up in the photo section if you want to check it out. It's titled " a few pics of my Silverstone ll f80 M3" . It's probably in the 2nd or 3rd page of that section by now.
I was curious about how the springs would settle and feel so thanks for the information and I'll check out your pictures. Great car!

Looks awesome! I want to get a lip for the F82 I have on order so that picture is really helpful. What lip is that?

Its not a Sport-Super Sport comparison, but a stock-sport comparison for the fronts

Thanks, this is a good picture that shows the height difference vs stock. Are those the M3/4 or F3X H&R Sports?

yes, they're the H&R Sports for F80

Here are some pics in the wild (15mm front/rear spacers were installed at PDI, so every pic has them):

@nbennettksu The car looks beautiful and that drop looks great. I think that i'm going to do the same thing with the 15/15 spacers.

I like it. That's the one that I think i'm going to go with. I thought it might be a different one when I didn't see the CF splitters.

i want it to get the RPK lip but being CF i took a chance and when this route, after hitting the lip a few times i have no regrets getting the M-performance.
i had the lip painted gloss black as well.

I've had a cf lip before and I won't do that again after it got broken. Did you order it from IND? I was thinking about ordering it from them and having it painted.

Hello tom,

Would you recomend the kw sleeves or the h and r sport. I know kw are adjustable but i believe the h and r sport and still lower in the front and rear? I have adaptive suspension please chime in.

Also do you sell INd exterior parts?

Stock


435 H&R Sport Springs


M3/M4 H&R Sport Springs




OEM Spring measurement


435 H&R Sport measurement


M3/M4 H&R Sport Spring Measurement


Front drop is identical. Approximately 1/4" different in rear height between 435 vs M3/M4.

Hope this helps.

I think what gets me is the Super Sport rear is too low but the Sport fronts are too high. Do they have the same spring rate? As in, could I combine the rear Sports with the front Super Sports?

Either are perfectly fine, the KW sleeves allow for adjustments while springs are a predetermined drop.

We offer the entire IND product line. Shoot me a PM of what you need and I'll get you taken care of.

Yes you could.

We did a mixed spring set up for a couple weeks while we were waiting for our Clubsports to come in Front "Sport/PT#50474" with the F30 Springs "Sport/PT#28878-2"

Here's a few pictures of how it turned out:

I think that definitely addresses the issue. So how was the handling? Anything funky going on? Is it even possible to buy the fronts/rears from the different sets or would you have to buy both full sets?

Can you PM me the same info please. I'm interested in order some springs and can't make a decision but I think that would solve my dilemma.
