Drop a pic of your car w/ EMD Springs

[f80_brian]

Hey everyone! Been waiting for my emd springs for about 3 months now and just anxious to see how everyone's car sits with these springs.
Also how much clearance are you getting with or without a front lip?

Drop them below, Let's see em!

I'll follow this. I'm thinking of the EMD's. Concerned about ride quality and rubbing. Also considering the M Performance spring set up, but they're 5x more expensive.

The main reason I ordered emd springs was because of the ride quality. I've heard nothing but great things about this spring and people have always mentioned that it rides like oem.

My main concern is how low it sits since I have a really steep driveway. I've thought about H&R super sports but seen that the front sits really low to the ground even without a lip. Either EMD springs or KW HAS (adjustable height is always nice) would be a great option

Here is my car on EMD's. This photo I am running +15mm spacers all the way around.

What a perfect setup! Thanks for sending that in. If you had a rough guess, how many inches of clearance are you getting from the front?

Also did you install the rear spacer provided for the f80 springs in the rear?

From the ground to my lip, I'd say I have about 3-4 inches if that lol I have a Lightweight front lip which is really durable and has taken it's fair share of speed bumps, steep driveways, etc.

I didn't add the front spacer on this car because of the front lip, but my last F80 I did. I would suggest if you are going to do a front lip, don't add the spacer.

Looks sharp. Any rubbing or bounciness? Much different ride quality to stock?

This might have to be one of the best looking f80's I've seen. This color is amazing.

EMD springs with 15mm all around. Best value mod out there. Under $400 and it makes the car look so much more aggressive.

I got the stance kit from SSR performance.

EDIT: With an M-Perf style lip, clearance is minimal. Get a well made replica lip (all my carbon is XPH) so you don't have to worry about it.

Looks great. How's the ride quality?

That's awesome! Got the same lip from xph, still waiting on the springs to come in. How much clearance were you getting from front with that lip? Looks a bit too low for my daily driving lol

EMD springs with M-Performance lip. I scrape EVERYWHERE, the front was slammed. The ride was surprisingly soft and comfy considering how low it was but the car felt real floaty. Get the M-Performance HAS kit if you can, night and day difference in handling, damping, and ride quality. Plus you can adjust it to perfectly suit your height requirements.

I really only feel the difference over highway bridge joints or whatever you call the joints in the highway that allow for expansion. Other than that it feels slightly more planted without any detectable impact on ride quality.

Yeah it's really low. I never measured it but I'd have to guess it's around 2inches at the lowest.
