Air suspension???
Anyone tried it?
https://www.vividracing.com/air-lift...151807606.html My rear has around 1" gap while my front is 2.25. Was thinking this might be perfect to drop the front when I have my 20" summers on and be able to raise it easily when I put the 19 winters on. I can't lower the front with the 19s without scraping driveways. So it's this or the M HAS but the rear for the HAS kit would be a waste. |

If all you care about is ride height, sure the MP HAS might seem like a waste. If you care about suspension performance, you won't consider it a waste. Air suspension takes all the engineering and design that an M car is known for and throws it out the window. Not many will be fans of that on this forum.

Leaning now toward just swapping the front springs out for the .8 drop eibach springs.....of I can find somewhere to get them installed for less than my first born son. Getting quotes from 650 to over 800 just for the fronts. Last edited by sknobs; 08-05-2019 at 08:35 PM.. |

I ask because I have CF5V's in the super deep concave, 10", and they're ET20, which causes rubbing at stock camber on lowered suspension (both H&R Sports and Swifts). |

Where does your rub? I think I would rub with the 305s if I lower it. |

How much drop did you have with the HR and the Swifts? Do you get any rub with the fronts? Do you guys with lowered fronts scrape the fender with the wheel turned and hitting a bump? Looks like it would have to scrape the wheel arch if you do being as low as some members are. Love the look but it is only a matter of time with the roads around here that I hit a bump while turning. Thanks. |

This is why I NEVER EVER let some one drive my car oh let’s drive over potholes again and again. Yeah take a few pieces out my 10k set of HRE WHEELS damn. I always take my controller out of my car when I leave it somewhere because all it takes is some idiot to drop it with the wheels turned to bend a fender lol. Also you never ride at max height lol that’s to go over places where you might rub not to drive wtf. My favorite part of the video is how you don’t even know that you can adjust on the fly lol too funny. Put those springs on your stock m3 i will out handle you in my show M4 lol with properly setup air suspension. Maybe this car was setup wrong but the comments you make show how little you know about modern air suspension systems.

Suspension Air Bags on a 67 Chevy Impala? Absolutely! But on a M3/M4? I'll pass. And what are these balloons that seem to be the common theme of all the air bag suspensions? They look like gonads and don't belong in any car.

To each his own and some have bigger gonads than others, just like coil overs there are many types of bags for many different applications lol
