The perfect spring?
Ok, so first, apologies in advance because I know this would have been talked to death already.
However, I have missed that conversation so I need to ask our informed M2 owners again. My M2 arrives in late December and of course I need to fix the ride height Can anyone please help or advise how I can measure spring performance so I can pick the spring that will accomplish what I want to achieve. My goals are: 1. Solid springs (not HAS) mainly for cost / value reasons as I don’t need any adjustability or want to ‘slam’ the car super low. 2. Conservative drop, nothing too crazy but maybe a 20mm drop for the OEM+ look and also to not cringe averytime I approach a speed bump. 3. Increase handeling performance. If I am going to change the spings for appearance I may as well make it count for performance as well. Does such a spring exists? If your not sure, how can I research? Should I be looking for a higher or lower spring rate than factory? |

No bro, not lowered yet. My car doesn’t arrive until December.
I did post this thread before if that’s what you mean though. But stupid me posed in the wrong forum (in builds and pictures) So I re posted here to get the insights from the wheel and suspension peeps. If they can find it amongst all the businesses posting adds here hahahaha. |

IMO, if you want a spring only, I wouldn't even think about "performance." - It's going to be a visual mod; if you want performance, go with an actual set of coilovers.
