I'm in the camp that doesn't want a stiffer, or a more harsh ride as compared to the stock ride. I love the drop from what I'm seeing in the pictures... but mine is a DD in New England, so if the ride was a little softer I wouldn't complain. I'm torn between these springs, or maybe going KW v1 coils. Two very different routes. |

Maybe you should read exactly what you quoted? LOL.

Myles - any spring rates you can share, or did I miss them?

Coilovers were on my mod list too. Mostly because I wanted to be able to come back up for the winter months, but I gotta say that I still have very decent ground clearance. I put Springs on my 09 E90 M3, drop was perfect, and never went the coilover route as I had planned. Last edited by IVORYREX; 08-16-2014 at 02:34 PM. Reason: additions |

We will release rates soon.
Keep in mind that even though the rates are increased, the lowering springs ARE progressive. So the common quote you hear from most people " felt better than stock on the harder smaller bumps" is observed because the stock springs are more linear BUT softer. So you get the rate you get immediately in the initial stroke(oem). Progressive springs allow for a slight softer initial( and by initial I mean 4-5mm of travel. This is done to maintain pressure between the perches and ALL lowering springs are this way. Beyond that initial distance the rates ramp up fast and thats where the performance gain is. So small coils absorb the small bumps and beyond that the springs are very linear and the handling improvement can be felt. Hope I explained that well. Myles |

In my opinion this is THE perfect ride height. Just worried about the longevity of the stock shocks coupled with these springs. I may wait for a good spring/shock combo to be tried out first by others before I bite the bullet on THESE springs.

Also a note, some springs are VERY progressive. Some (like ours) just have that smidge of initial progression that takes a little of the edge off. The very progressive springs don't feel very consistent to us when pushing it and so with ours we make sure the "meat" of the spring is linear.

So how many cycles or miles does it typically take before springs start to fatigue and lose their initial deformation characteristics? These springs in particular?

"Can you measure the distance from the turbo skid plate to the ground on a flat surface (or from your front lip if the ground clearance is lower there)? The office complex I work at just has to have huge trenches to catch water as well as speed bumps every 20 feet or so" thank you |

Hey Ivory, I gotta say the car looks great with that drop. Almost reminds me of the M3 from the side. Btw, did u put spacers also? And what size if you have?

Still awaiting an email or pm back from you guys, apparently your too busy to allow me to preorder an item that's not even out yet. Lack of any form of customer service is disappointing and quite frankly unexpected.

DIY instructions: 1) Measure the distance from the turbo skid plate to the ground perpendicular to the surface. 2) Subtract 0.9" from step 1 measurement. Make sure units are consistent! |

Just kidding, but it never hurts to get more measurements. Tell you what, I'll measure it now just for you and edit the post and then someone else with them can eventually measure it an we will see if you're right. |
