H&R springs

I put some H&R springs on my m3 with 13mm spacer rear and 10mm spacer front.

Before after getting tint with no spacers




After with spacer and springs

The car initially had a neutral handling and after spring install it has a slight under steer on turn in. With current spacer it did run once on a 3 point turn. Springs are quiet and no new new noise.

Looks good but it's very hard to see the gap with the black paint. How are the gaps front and rear? I'm thinking of going the H&R route as well.

And more importantly, how is the ride?

As suspected, the specific for the G80 with H&R really gets the front down right but the rear (for me) is too high.

I do love the G80 in black!!!

This is my wife’s car so I am not familiar with it, but she said the suspension slightly stiffer. I do notice when I drove before it was a very neutral handling but now I do feel slight under steer on turn in. I would look more like oem aftermarket

Yep, thats due to the front end drop...

Can you post a few close ups of the front and rear wheels too?

We have seen a couple stock alignments that were off by a lot. Maybe check your alignment
