I'm seriously considering switching to improve the ride quality, my back can't take much more of these FL roads.
So here is the probably the best pic to indicate the drop with KW; its with the engine off. I keep posting pics where the ground is slightly off or there is a curb which skews the car. Further when the car is off it "appears" just slightly lower based on my finger test.

Remember you have wider tires (right??) on the same profile so the gap will be less. I can take more pics today if you like. But without a doubt and not apples to apples but confidence is high; KW will provide the better comfort. The M550i H&R's on the F90 were brilliant looking but boy they could compress and rebound like a jack hammer at times. These springs endure and absorb better as they are progressive. Its worth the extra coin here for sure.



Drop looks perfect to my eyes! Gorgeous

Damn.. fckin baller!!

I didn't read past the first page so apologies if I missed.. but in terms of a black car I was the same way until I had my BSM G30 ceramic coated. Game changer for sure and SO much easier to keep clean.

Amazing car. Finally, a GT car with the perfect stance. Well done. Most of the featured cars lately have all been slammed.

Great looking M8 with a tasteful set of mods. If it helps at all I think the drop is perfect.

Dig the interior and the yellow calipers too.

Looks awesome! Have those same rims on my m340 and am going to have them painted all black this spring, similar to yours.

Super clean and crisp! Hope you're enjoying it!

That's a beautiful car. But are your tiny little "m" stickers on your wheels missing?
