Makes sense and I figured it had to do with something like this... I have always heard they can be a safety liability but like anything else, there's probably a right and wrong way do install these things. I'm in the Chicago are so there's got to be someone nearby that could do a good job for me when my car arrives in Sept.

Thanks- have seen some of their posts. Didn't realize they were around here. Lake Zurich is a hike but certainly worth the trip for good work.

I am having trouble with this. At first the 20F and 20R setup looked great, maybe a touch aggressive for me, so I was thinking 15F and 17R. But then see the last pics with 10 in the rear and it almost looks too aggressive still. I think it may be the different angles of the different pics.
I want to drop on HR Sports and I dont want any rubbing. That being said I want it as aggressive as possible. What do you guys think? D |

The 20/20 combo would be the most aggressive, you can go a bit more conservative if you'd like. The point of this thread is to show various combos as to see which suits one's needs the best. 18mm in the rear would tone it down slightly. Make the drive down when you take delivery and we can dial it in perfectly.

Thanks Tom! I really want forgestar CF10's for when I take delivery, but am concerned about getting the exact setup I want, so I was thinking of getting spacers first to feel it out... BUT, I really do want to have the wheels and tires ready for when I take delivery...

I'm thinking about lowering my M4 on H&R and keeping stock 19" wheels....any idea which spacers will work for a nice flush look? I was thinking 15mm front and rear...

It would be best to install the springs first, then measure as most are using the 4-series Sport/Super Sports at this time until H&R releases the M3/4 specific springs.

Haven't had a chance to install the Sport Springs yet (H&R has recalled the F8X M3/4 springs at this time with no ETA on release), but we should have a few sets of F3X Sport springs being installed shortly to tell for certain and update the thread.

I think 18 in the front and 20 in the back would be a perfect fit for the M4.. Gotta get me some of these soon!!

Great thread. The pictures really help to see the differences they can make. I can see putting some spacers on once I take delivery. On a side note what color white is the m3, alpine or mineral?

The M3 posted is Mineral White. The M4s are Alpine White for comparison.
