F36 drop estimates with AC Schnitzer and H&R..conservative??

tboooe · 05-13-2015, 12:02 PM

It seems that both AC Schnitzer and H&R estimate about 0.5-0.6" drop for F36 RWD with MSport suspension. Does anyone know if these drop estimates are conservative? I was hoping for something closer to 1".

Isn't it because you already have the Msport?, which has already lowered it from the base suspension, if you have DHP that's another 10mm or so, meaning that the "drop springs" may not be much shorter than what you already have.

Any luck with lowering options for the 428i gran coupe f36? I'm running out of patience

Right now I am trying to decide between Bilstein B16 or B14. KW also has the Street Comfort coilovers for the F36. Of course BC Racing has an offering too.

As for springs, I am not happy with any offering giving me the drop I want from MSport (non XDrive) so I will get coils very soon.

You are right. People with XDrive get closer to a 1" drop.
