Curious - What part of NC are you in?

I just placed my order for the springs and bump stops. I'm in Greensboro, and going to shop pricing around here for install.

Perfect height. Looks great! Confirms that I'll want to get spacers

If you don't mind sharing - how much did you end up paying for install?

Yeah I wanted the spacers too, but the anticipation to install led me to move forward without waiting...

I actually had a friend install them, so price was minimal. Most quotes in the area are between $750-1200 though.

Have you driven it much, since install? I'm wondering how it feels now - bumpy, stiff, bouncing, etc?

Thanks!

Honestly I’ve only driven about 20 miles since I installed them. Not much of a difference right now, was hoping the steering was going to be stiffer, but honestly feels like it did before.

Yes. Our car in the photo has the adaptive suspension.

Also a quick profile shot before it goes back in the air...

Question for you... how is the camber, toe, and caster after the install? Was there a major difference or is it still in stock range? Curious to see how those were adjusted. Any specs you have would be great.

If possible, please take before and after pics. I've read that 13mm is good for the back, but seeing all kinds sizes for the front.

Are these off of a 5 series or did you have these made for your car. Also what tire dimensions did you go with . It looks awesome by the way.

The M550 wheels were used as a design reference to build a custom forged wheel and finish and integrate the larger floating center caps. Wheel specs are 20x9 front and 20x10 rear with custom offsets. Tires are 245/35/20 front and 275/30/20 rear.

thats great, I would like to get a set of 795m ones done once I order my car. would you mind PM me seller's info. I like the custom offset so its no need for spacers to have a flush fitment.

Looks great, Saido! But, anyway to get those pictures without the photobucket banner? Trying to decide if I should go with the same spacers. I'm getting the Dinan springs/bumpstops installed next week. Thanks!

Never mind - I got it to open up in a new tab without the banner.

Lol sorry about that and glad you got it without the banner...and thank you for the compliments!

I purchased the bumpstops from Burger Motorports. They were quick and also come with the longer bolts as well.

Do you feel 10mm front and 13mm back is good, in terms of aesthetics? Is there much of a difference - especially the front?

Thanks!
