I explained my reasoning; short form: stock form is absurdly high. H&R build a quality product and this is my 3rd set of that exact product. Having racked up >30,000 miles on them, why wait. The car wasn't going to lower itself.

Great looking car, congrats Limey Notice any big differences in how the M8 drives in comparison to the M5?

Yes. Definitely some differences. I'll write them up once I'm home. Hockeytyme drove her for a little while and independently made two of the very same observations I made in the first 5 mins. |

Awesome work Ben. This is one amazing looking M8 GC. Frozen paint looks incredible. Looking forward to my G05 lowering links.

She already has a Racechip in her from Ben but I haven't used it yet because she's not had her break in serv... yah, that's utter bollocks: I turned it on about 600 miles ago when I got bored and have been steadily throwing more of it at the car and pushing incrementally as the miles sail by. Once I have the service and then the JB4 simultaneously installed (one piggy in-line at a time), I'll post some objective data and subjective opinions. |

I would need stock Springs to measure Free Length, I.D. Ends, body O.D. Pitch, Rate. Then enter data into software program and adjust F.L. Without effecting the Rate or even changing if needed for individual taste. I dropped mine F90 with H&R Springs too and took stock Springs to measure F.L. And they were perfect length which indicates 100% sort to maintain same hight on all 4 corners https://www.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...php?p=24146249

I've been wanting to make my own adjustable spring. But, just haven't been able to justify the cost to make products without a name to back it up.

I just noticed the M8 doesn't have the antenna/fin on the rear part of the roof. Good to see BMW is finally placing that internally and avoiding that bit of an eye sore.
