Test fitted 666M + 12mm spacers. Need input

papasmurf_m3 · 11-28-2019, 01:41 PM

Happy thanksgiving to you, your familes and loved ones!

Sorry for the poor quality photos. I only had a few mins with the car. It's at the shop getting a aluminum M3 CS style hood painted/installed, paint correction, expel PPF, and ceramic pro coating. I will take better photos when I pickup the car and post it. For now this is what we have.

papasmurf_m3 · 11-28-2019, 01:43 PM

WTH? Why are these photos upside down? Sorry for the upload fail.

DanMpower · 11-28-2019, 03:56 PM

I think with a drop they will look fire. With stock suspension, they look a bit much.

When I was stock I went with 7.5mm spacers and it looked just right, once dropped I went to 10mm all around and it looks perfect.

Thats what I was thinking. I can pickup a the EMD springs monday.

Do you know if the stock springs are made by eibach? Because the car came with them.

Without a drop it looks different. I have 15MM/f and 12MM/r on MP HAS. It’s flush, no rub... rock chips on rear quarter panels can be annoying so PPF is a must.

Ya, I think im going to lower it on some springs and drop a size down to 10mm on the rear spacers.

You mean the PPF on the lower part of the rear fender flares? My car came with that already on. I'm just redoing the front end and sideskirts.

Stock PPF is too short and will get destroyed with the addition of spacers. You need to extend the PPF up further now that you have spacers. IMO spacers don't look good on the car because the stock tires are too skinny. From the back it looks weird driving.

papasmurf_m3 · 11-28-2019, 07:04 PM

I was thinking of putting 295 or maybe 305 eventually. but, I will need to see how it looks with those sizes later. For now. I just ordered 10mm for the rears. I think the 12mm is too big.

As for the PPF. I didn't know stock came with some PPF. Let me talk to my installer monday.

M 4 FUN · 11-29-2019, 02:59 AM

I run 12mm front and 10mm rear spacers. I don't like when the tire sticks out when i look from straight above the wheel arch. I'm dropped on H&R sleeve kit. The whole car is wrapped in Stek PPF.

cionide · 11-29-2019, 06:44 AM

I run 10/12 on 666M and it's perfect.

papasmurf_m3 · 11-29-2019, 03:20 PM

Ok, so I will swap out my rears for the 10mm and install the EMD lowering springs.

I think it should look good. I will post some pics after I pickup my car and the weather clears up. These are just preliminary shots. I wont be driving it like this.

Your car looks tits bro. Thank you for contributing.

moonshine89 · 11-29-2019, 05:38 PM

I'm curious how 12/10 looks. I have 15/12 with stock springs. Think it looks amazing. Still haven't pulled the trigger on springs....

I'm in San Diego as well. Would love to see yours in person if you're close.

Hey Im running 10mm all around on the 437m with EMD springs. I rubbed without the rear perch spacer in the back so make sure not to skip that. I also run 295.30/19 in the rear. no rub with the flush drop. will post a pic for you if this app cooperates.

I have 12 front / 10 rear and I really like it (stock suspension that I may change later).

G35POPPEDMYCHERRY · 11-29-2019, 07:14 PM

That's my set up 12mm front/10mm rear on OEM suspension. It's perfect and should have been this way from the manufacturer.

nbennettksu · 12-17-2019, 04:03 PM

666 and 18mm up front, 15mm in rear and I'm fuckin flush.
