Im currently running 12mm spacers front and rear. The spacers along with the springs make the car sit perfectly. |

Seeing these gets me excited to put them on! I just got them yesterday and props on the packaging guys! Not only was each spring individually wrapped and protected, the box also looked very fancy as it should for a high-quality product.

Softer spring rates than MS or Swift, bigger drop, and stock dampers. No thanks. : |

I agree, they might feel good now, but most likely the stock struts wont last long. I wonder where or who makes and design these springs, pretty sure they don't have the means for in house manufacturing. I would stick to the company that design and manufacture springs and have a some sort of history in motorsports to be sure its a tried and tested product. |

For me personally, I use my car for daily driving and these work great for that. If I was concerned with motorsports performance, I would go with a Clubsport or similar. |

I have Emanuel Design Springs and they ride very similar to stock, they are lower than other springs but I prefer the way it looks. Here is a not so great pic from the other day..
No spacers installed.. |

I went with Swift I don't even think sport plus is that firm.
ED give the most drop upfront and a slight rake.

Saying that, you do have to slow down on road bumps, train tracks and drive ways etc.. Also one thing I noted is the bumpy ride generally associated with lowering springs where the whole car moves up and down at normal speeds is not there. In fact I totally went in to this feeling that if I didn't like the ride, I would with back to stock or go to Dinan HAS, so far I am sticking with these springs.. |

Swift Springs + ZCP EDC setting coded in is all you need! Perfect ride height and great on street/track. Loved these springs on my E9x, and now on the F8x as well.

I had Swifts on my non comp package M4 and I loved them! They offered a nice drop without sacrificing too much ride quality. I have adaptive suspension, so I usually drove around in Sport and it was perfect for me, however, I did not like how there was still a pretty big wheel gap, especially in the front. So, I switched to the Emmanuel springs. The ED springs offered a much better drop so the wheel gap was even less visible, but sacrificed quite a bit more ride quality. Ride is firmer, but feels a lot more planted, which is great, but instead i am driving around in Comfort.
If you drive others around a lot, especially in an M3, I would recommend the Swifts instead. The ride with the ED are going to be pretty brutal, especially for anyone in the back. If anyone wants any more details or has any questions let me know, I'll be glad to help out! and I hope this helps with people's decisions top pic is with Swift, and bottom is with Emmanuel Design
