Assuming they work: it's literally going to change the whole look of the car. Combined with spacers, you've got the look BMW should've provided from the factory.

Can't wait to see pics.

it appears HR has a spring listed for the m8c but states f91 chassis

it’s a 1.3 drop front and back. that would be a pretty aggressive drop in the rear.
the front should be perfect

love to see the install pic

H&R makes so many mistakes. I bought one of the first set of F90 M5 specific springs back in August of 2018 and they listed the drop as 1.2/1.2 and in reality it was 1.0/.25---- they have finally updated their site to reflect that but who the fuck wants to drop their car just 1/4 of an inch; might as well leave it stock. This also happened with my W212 E63 fronts (rear had air back then).

100% if they drop the car 1.3 inches this drop will look fab!

That's swell of you to say, Vic. Fab? Really—where's your self respect, man!

Im tired of typing or I just cant spell that word.

I believe the rears are still settling...and forgive the horrible state of cleanliness...

[Wolfman64]

The front looks aggressive but the rear looks like almost an inch higher.
Similar to what Vic stated. The springs will only settle by maybe 1/8”.

Isn’t this why the M5 guys settled for the M550 springs?

Great sleek look for the car with the BC forged but if it doesn’t settle you may want to go for different rear springs.

The rear looks fine to me; it took over a week for my GC to settle I'd guess.

damn you. now i have to lower my car. car looks amazing

although i rather have the drop even i much rather have the front sit lower than the back

Any side profile pics

so my set will be on it’s way. Thanks Ben.

just for others info, confirmed with HR that although the site says f91 they do work with the f92 also

[FBMWWINS]

Sweet and spot on! There is always some time (days and in some cases more I guess) to be allowed for the installed components to "settle down" and assume the right position and appropriate stance they are meant to give it.

I thought you were against lowering for a reason I can't recall?

[Ehloo]

never. all my cars have been lowered. just hesitant on the m8 with lack of options, experimental options and very experience and long eta options

beside the KW which is taking 12 weeks to get here and limited drop there wasn’t much urge to drop yet. and was enjoying the stock ride height

for the price of the HR i could experiment if i don’t like the ride quality. hoping this isn’t the case as i have had issues with Hr in the past

Ben telling me a week. so maybe in 2 weeks i should have these on

Cool; my mistake.

The ride quality is affected--you can feel it--but it remains compliant and comfortable on anything but the worst road surfaces. Tire pressures become a tad more important, too.
