You confusing spacers with ride height drop from the springs? Roman installed the H&R sport springs which drops a little over an inch both front and rear. After that, he's been playing around with different spacers to get the perfect fitment. You can put any size spacer on you want until it starts rubbing.

BTW, that 12F 10R spacer fitment looks just about perfect. Does the 10mm reuse the hub or have its own lip?

I used Eibach pro-kit on my e90 335i m-suspension and I wasn't really satisfy with it. KW EDC was good on my 1m, but I don't want to put the coilovers instead on adaptive suspension, because I like the adjustability with the button inside.
The use of the car will be DD plus track days. Forged Rays 19 wheels with CUP2 tires.
Tnx.
Springs are fine, but a good coilover system would be recommended for track duty.

Drop is fixed at the specs above. Possibly if KW releases a sleeve kit you would be able to dial in your preferred drop, albeit at a higher price tag.

I agree, it looks like the 12mm/10mm or 15mm/12mm combos are the ticket.

10mm and higher spacers are hubcentric.

It's been a while since I've lowered a car.. Last time was on during my fast and furious days.. Question, I recall when I lowered my last Japanese import with eibach springs only it totally ruined my camber and tore,up the treads on the inner wall of my tires... With the new suspensions will this occur on my m4 or do we need a camber adjustment kit as we'll?

Not required for street use. For track setups, camber plates are always beneficial.

So lowering the m4 with h&r springs will not change the camber and damper settings?

This looks good on m4 but rear looks too slammed on m3.
I noticed that HnR lists this spring compatible with m4 only.
Do they plan to release new application for m3?

Hm, the 435i SS springs dropped the f80 too much in the rear. Looks like the m4 specific makes that worse?

Of course lowering the car changes toe and camber, that is how suspensions work. You just need to align properly and there is plenty of toe adjustment and not enough camber to worry about from a wear perspective

Do you guys have the springs available for install locally? What's the cost on these installed, with the 12F/10R spacer setup?

Loved the stance on my E90 with the H&R Sports Springs, F:12mm/R:10mm MS spacers and OEM Style 359s. It was the perfect combo without looking slammed.
