Wolfgang I think the stance is spot on--- how is the compression and rebound with the reduced height and damper travel?
Not apples to apples but how "stiff" (Limey behave) is the ride now compared to your GTC?

I attributed the loss of comfort (loss of bump absorption) on the '20 M5 to the springs, turns out it was the combination of the springs and the 30% tire profile. I'm running 35% now and it's much better than the M5. Tough for me to actually compare it to stock since Ben ripped out the stock springs while I was still signing with the finance guy. |

I am dropped on 35 series with the F90- but its a very aggressive drop and compression can be wild on heavier undulated roads.

Not where we want it to be. But, it is pretty close. Looking forward to fix it once the pandemic is over.

I recently saw a post with a pic of your black M6. That car also looked like stock M8 height. Did you lower that one too? |

The M8 feels just softer than stock but more planted. Rear has dual springs, maybe that helps... |

I wasn't trying to take the car down aggressively. At the moment the is about 1/2 finger width gap which I like (rear). The front needs to comes down maybe 1/3"-1/2" but then I am good. Our roads suck so comfort is as important as the look. In terms of spacers, the front can easily take 20mm spacers, but I feel 18mm is spot on. There are no other options for the rear but 5mm spacers or 12mm hub-centric ones. We were looking at 10mm spacer for MB but doesn't work due to the height of the lip. |

How much more room do you think you have to lower?
Any chance to take some straight wheel pics kind of like your stock height pics? KW actually released their HAS system earlier this month but the drop is very conversative with max .8 F and .6 R. With that drop ots not worth the time or money to go with adjustable springs Quote:

So far I haven't of any other lowered M8's besides Limey and ours. Most important was that the car drives well with the spring setup and it does. The rest is just fine-tuning. |

Problem for me is that I couldn't unsee the stock height. Bothered me every time I looked at the car. Now it looks almost there. Worth the money even if not too aggressive. |

I do notice that when Imran @ Evolve did a comparison video between his lowered F90 M5 to stock F92 M8, the side mirror on the stock F92 M8 sits lower than his lowered F90 M5 on MSS. Even the front lip of the car sits lower than lowered F90 M5.

Were you ever able to verify if the pads are the same as the F90? I'm in the market for a set of Porterfield R4-S as the brake dust on OEM pads is unbearable.

So, it shouldn't be an issue. I have sold and installed many to F90 M5. No one has reported getting trouble with dealership.
