I only have 5k miles on my car but I installed at 2.5k. I see ever so minimal settling on the springs. I highly recommend them ! I have some additional photos on my Instagram @dads_m3

I will say the one thing is if you are going over a swell in the road, or a dip at a higher speed, (60mph+) there is more bounce. For the price, cannot be beat.

That's looks great!

Is there any wheel gap left in the front?
Nope. I could maybe get a notecard in there

Bob, is the drop even or is the stance still raked?

I’m deciding between the ED springs and KW HAS. I’m just worried that there will still be wheel gap. All I’m looking for is to close the gap. I don’t want the wheels to be tucked either.

Some pics online shows some wheel gap and your pics don’t show any.

I'd consider it ever so slightly raked. I have a bit of tuck on the rear and ever so much tuck on the front.

What did you end up going with? ED springs and spacers is like 1/2 the cost of a KW HAS kit with spacers.. I had ED springs on my M4 and I had no complaints. However, I think having the ability to raise the suspension would be nice too.

Still undecided at the moment plus I just took delivery 2 weeks ago so its away for the NY winter.

I’m not worried about raising the suspension once I have it dialed in. I’m just worried the ED springs will still show wheel gap.

It's not tucked. It's flush. Here are some photos with my 300c on from HRE.

Looks amazing! What size spacers were you running on your competition wheels?
