We do quite a bit of the Macht Schnell spring on ZCP/comp package cars. Original like ride quality with a subtle drop.

Here is an example of a comp with spacers

I just had MS springs installed on my ZCP and had them on my civic M3 before. FWIW drop looks the same.

No idea what GTF is but can measure tomorrow.

How does it feel , does it drive like stock CP

I want the aftermarket springs to drive exactly like stock because I love CP suspension and hate the front wheel gap, what was BMW thinking? A car like this should have come with lowered height

You will not find any after market springs which drive exactly like stock. There is always a compromise between looks/handling and comfort/longevity.

Nope. Softer than stock but expected with springs.

How much did it cost to have the springs installed?

Swift spec R have been fantastic on my cp car. There's an enormous thread on them somewhere around here. The ride is slightly different than stock but just as good imo.

Front looks very low, how much was the drop?

I hear swift is stiffer than stock CP springs, spring rates are higher?
