Any word on the springs delivery or why they were delayed?

Spoke with Turnermotorsport yesterday, while on the phone, they called H&R shipments are expected end of August, beginning of September. The new pn is specifically for the M4 and is not a generic 4 series spring. Front drop is 1.3 inches, rear is 1.2, which from what I can see will close the wheel/tire gap with out being to low. Just my two cents, for what that's worth, which by today's standards is not much.

Nice thanks.

I'm glad to see they dropped the front a little more than the rear. That front gap is an eyesore.

That's one of the most stupid things I've ever heard. Snow chains dictated the ride height and suspension setup of the M4?

And what do you not understand about a car's geometry? Do you understand how center of gravity and chassis balance works? If you want to slam your car because you like the look, go right ahead, but you're kidding yourself if you think you're not degrading the car's performance.
