Look at Eibach or Swift. Both should be out soon and they will have a more modest drop in the front compared to H&R.

Thanks, great comparison

Just installed these from Tom @ Eas. Macht Schnell 15 front and 12 rear. Changes the whole car. Total install time under 1hr.



I'm going to drop on Swift once they are out.

Hey tom @ eas, I might go wider on the tires when they get replaced. If I were to go with the following, which spacers would you recommend (e.g., 12/10)?

OEM (Link)
255/35ZR19 (92Y) SL BMW, 8.5" Wide
275/35ZR19 (100Y) XL BMW, 9.5" Wide

NEW
265/35ZR19 (98Y) XL N0 (Porsche), Link
285/35ZR19 (103Y) XL, Link

Likely 10/12mm combo but would recommend measuring beforehand to be 100% certain. Also depends on ride height.

I just want to confirm. Plan on a modest drop with the KW HAS.

Would 12mm (F) and 15mm (R) be ok?

Absolutely, assuming stock wheels/tires are used. 15mm would be up front, 12mm in rear.

Any pics of F80s with15mm front and 18mm rear, lowered on H&R Sport? Sorry, very specific I know. I am running 15/15 now and would like to maybe push out the back 2-3 more mm

My installer mentioned to me he had a guy rubbing on H&R Supersport and 15 rears.

Odd you want the rear bigger then the front.

My 15mm rear doesn't rub at all and I had the car weighted down with 4 adults. The difference between drop from Sport to SuperSport is pretty minimal in the rear... The 15 front is perfectly flush, my 15 rear has the rear wheel about 2mm inside the fender. I want perfect, but I'm probably just unrealistic. My AY reflector replacements are off just a tad and it makes me bananas.

Took a look through this thread, couldn't find a pic of stock 18s with spacers. Any photos?

None with 18s, but note that the offsets are identical between 18" (513M) and 19" (437M), there would be no difference from 19" photos.

This car is running 18mm front and 15mm rears on H&R sports if I'm not mistaken. He has a lot more pictures of his car on some of these threads. I forgot his user name though.

Yup, that's the car. Looks bad ass with just the spacers, drop, and 18s.

To my understanding, the geometry and handling changes, scrub radius becomes different -- I would guess it makes sense to actually make some calculations to determine the final geometry and preserve either positive or negative scrub radius. Not just randomly install any spacers.

A zero scrub radius could (based on my "investigative" studies) introduce unstable steering as the tire fights itself. As per the article on H&R website: http://www.hrsprings.com/technical/scrub_radius

+1 Can anyone with knowledge comment?
