Hey guys I need some help deciding the best way to lower my 2014 435i xdrive with the m adaptive suspension. I would like to lower the car, i want to keep my adaptive suspension functionality and I really don't like the look of the reverse rake(meaning the wheel gap is bigger in front than in the rear). From what I can tell my options are:

Dinan: springs, bump stops and shockware

H&R: springs with Dinan shockware(possible add the bump stops too if that works)

Also there's eibach or acs

From what I read the Dinan springs actually make the reverse rake riven worse.

What do you guys suggest (I don't have funds for a full coil over set with edc)please post photos if possible.

There are tons of comparisons if you search around. This thread helped me.

Any EIBACH SPRINGS on F30 335i X-DRIVE? https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1501682

yes yes, I have searched everywhere but havent found a place where there is a clear concensus on what is the path path to take in lowering the f32 435 xdrive and getting rid of the reverse rake. from my understand though Dinan will lower it and handles well it doesn't fix the reverse rake issue and infact makes it even more obvious since its a bigger drop in the rear compared to the front.

h&r sport springs + dinan shockware + f80 bump stops will give you what you're looking for. This is what I have on my 440ix. search for my posts and you will see pics.

Only other mod to consider at this point would be to do camber plates to get better handling.

Use an MSS KIt and you can dial in the height as you want to (besides other things that MSS does better than most/all spring kits)

your car looks great. How do you find the ride? I live in the north east (montreal) roads are terrible and people have said the H&R ride can be rough and bottoms out alot. I will def get shockware tho, also does it matter if i use f80 vs the Dinan bump stops?

thx for the compliment!

f80 cost less and does the trick. dinan uses older versions of oem bmw bump stops from an old M5 irrc.

I live in Los Angeles, we have roads that envy 3rd world country roads. No issues driving around here on Sport+ most of the time. I try to avoid potholes for the sake of my alignment/rims.

how are potholes tho when you do hit them? we have too many to avoid here? how does it feel compared to stock with the whole set up
