suspension height

What’s up ladies I have a question since it would be my first time doing adjustable springs what’s the ideal lowered height for the g87. I live in Jersey btw not sure if that matters but roads are not that bad I would say. Thanks in advance

25mm max front with a 12 to 19 mm front rake to match. In other words, the front is lightly lower than the rear measure at the rockers or just pick your points before you start.

If doing the MP HAS port installed they will only do the 10mm drop with alignment fyi but you can always adjust lower and get another alignment later if desired.

Ok perfect. I was actually looking for a thread on what aftermarket’s parts and brands does bmw support without voiding the warranty.

Aftermarket suspension parts will void the warranty on suspension components, no matter who makes it, if it isn't a BMW part installed by BMW.

Definitely! And if shocks or something need to be replaced they can't point point fingers at aftermarket suspension either.

At that price you might as well get yourself a good set of Ohlins R&T!

Going on ACS, same price but more chance to conserve the warranty. In case of non Warranty, ACS take over the costs.

Best combo for me between KW price,and BMW M PERF safety.

Thought about AC Schnitzer, and the warranty thing is nice, but I like the adjustability of a HAS system. Plus since KW actually makes the MP HAS, I figure the apple can't fall that far from the tree.
