I will post pics soon, had mine fitted today, very awkward looking drop as the front has a 2 finger gap between the tyre and fender and the rear has hardly a finger gap.. Really disappointed with the look.. Will probably remove them and go for KW.. This is the specific 28802-3 convertible kit

Wonder if my front springs are duds

cool. u should run the spacers the opposite way, 20f, 18r, that's what i ran with my stockers. front wheel needs larger spacers than rear for even flushness.

True that, I went with 20mm all round today, the local agent has agreed to swop my front springs out as he agrees there seems to be a problem.. Compared mine to a previous F83 on the same kit and my front sits way higher..

I'm actually excited to see this, I have an F83 as well and see these H&R's are specific to our cars but I like the Eibach look and idk if that won't work with ours.

To add pics on my iPhone, hit "reply" and add comments and hit "paper clip icon" and I hit "photos from gallery" and choose my pic and hit "submit". Sometimes Bimmerpost phone app is fidgety and pics don't work so...

Struggling to capture what I see with the camera, it doesn't look as bad on the pics as it actually is in the flesh. Here is a pic of my car on the kit from my ex F80 M3, had them on while I waited for the F83 specific kit. The front was perfect but the rear was too low

use the F80 front springs and F83 rear springs and you'll be good.
