Looking forward to hear how you like it. Did you get the springs from them? How much did you decide to lower it?

I could have however bought them directly from IND much prefer to go direct than go through another party I can negotiate do that for a living.
I lowered it 1 inch.Will see how it looks and feels.

Hello,

Does anyone have these installed in SF or the Bay Area? I'm hoping someone might be willing to give me a ride before I put my order in.

All the way down

i took delivery of a X3 M on June 1. The suspension, even in comfort mode, is overly harsh, chatters and bounces the car around. It is unpleasant to driveon anything but the smoothest of roads. I actually tried to return the car, but it was going to be expensive. I also have a 1970 911S and 2011 911 S. Both of these cars have a better ride than the BMW which is surprising. The X3M suspension is just not right. I have asked the sales manager at Valencia BMW to contact his BMW rep about a possible fix, have not heard back. If anyone knows of, or learns of a suspension fix, please contact me. I am aware of the aftermarket MSS springs, but looking for a possible BMW fix or US built fix. Thank you. sas@sasdevelopment.net

Its most likely your car honestly.

I swapped my '17 911 carrera (base) to a '20 gts and there is absolutely no way any stock coupe Porsche will ride softer than the x3m. Sorry I just can't stand by this claim as objective as I try to be.

To get the car even. The perches were adjusted at different heights. Is that normal?

I read something about needing to tighten spacers super often. Is that really a thing?

Spacer kits typically included lengthened bolts to account for the change in offset caused by the spacer. I've had TMS spacers on one of my cars. Never have had to tighten them
