EMD Springs Too Low?

I have the same setup including the spacers and I have the perfect drop/fitment

yeah l wasn't aware the f80's requires the spacer but with the F82's it was perfect

I run the emd springs on my f80 non comp with EDC and have the same fitment as OP. It rides very similar to stock once they settle in. If you look on the EMD website it explains that you can put the spacers in if you dont like the rear tucking. I do like the look and I run without it. This is copied and pasted right off their website

"I received plastic spacers with my springs. What are these for?

These machined ABS spacers are included with our M3 springs. They offer some adjust-ability in terms of how you want the body line to appear. For a factory body line, install without the spacers. For a forward rake appearance, with an even tire to fender gap (as shown in the pictures below), install the spacers. The M3 sits ~1 inch lower in the rear in factory form, so installing without the spacers will keep this appearance. The spacers install on top of the metal upper spring perch, sitting between the perch and the body. When you remove the spring, this perch will sometimes remain in the body. Simply tap it with a rubber mallet to break it free, then install the spacer on top of it (using the nub to center it)."

How long have you had them on?

How are they on bumpy/uneven roads?

How are they at high speeds (120mph+)?

Installed on December 1st roughly about 2000 miles on them they are very compliant on bumpy and uneven roads. If you have edc imagine sport being comfort and sport being sport plus. That is my best explanation. I'm on 19s so my ride is pretty nice. As per high speed they feel the same as stock maybe a little.timy bit more floatyness at very high speeds 160+

Looking good man thank you! Was thinking between EMD or Eibach might just go with EMD on my 2018 M4

Thanks! I'm not sponsored or anything just did my research and wanted keep as close to stock ride as possible and the EMD was the best IMO. My buddies comp was running swift springs and I hated it so I wanted to avoid that. Just remember to give them some time to settle. I thought the car rode like crap for the first week but it gets much better as it settles.

I agree. I have Swift springs and rode in another M3 with EMD. Smoother ride for sure. Definitely switching to EMD if I don’t do coilovers.

I don't have ZCP just base EDC 2018 damper software. Should be the same?

Yes, it should be the same.

EMD on my f82, I had H&R and these are so much better. They seem to settle more over a few months, this picture shows them fully settled.

Sorry to bump an old thread but I couldn't find the information i wanted...

The guys who have installed EMD springs onto there F80 m3 can you show me pictures with the rear 'spacer' 'puk' whatever you want to call it installed and without it installed.

bonus if its a white competition spec.
