Lowering and spacers are really amazing for the 240, the tips look great too 4inch I assume?

Has the handling improved at all with springs? I have same springs set to install.
Any rubbing at all? I have 13 / 15 mm spacer.

Definitely a bit stiffer ride, but nothing crazy. A bit less sway on tight turns, but not anything like a good pair of coilovers. Overall very happy with them though!

No rubbing at all!

Perfect!
I just got my tints today, and Friday I am getting the springs installed.

My next move is going to be getting the EVO ES coilovers. Its like 3.5k tho, so i gotta really think about it.

I dont want to end up spending 30k .. which was the difference between the M240 and the M4CX that I skipped on.

I’d ditch the xdrive badge, it’s a freebie mod

hey hyperpip, I just got my car back from the lowering spring install, and I noticed the Passenger Front Right is about 1/2" higher than the driver side. Did your springs settle after a few miles or weeks?

Do you mind taking a profile pic of your car from the passenger side ?

Nice car.
Mine was ordered in this color and wheels and will be delivered in August.
If I see this I will also lower it and install spacers.
It looks great.

Give them a few days, I think they’ll settle to the point where it’s not noticeable.

Thank you very much for the pics and the quick reply.

I noticed mine settled a bit after some hard driving, but then go back to the front right side being off by +1/2" after a few hours of sitting.

As long as nothing was installed incorrectly, im ok with disparity lol.
