K&W HAS kit has my vote. This is not on the lowest setting right after an install, which means it will settle a bit more.

Hi - I'm having the BMW kit and 12mm spacers installed now on a 21 comp. Dealer is concerned that there is minimal clearance at the factory settings (stock height) and lowering front could result in rubbing under certain situations. Any thoughts on how much the front can be lowered without causing any rubbing issues? Thanks!

I am currently running the HAS kit, the front is at its lowest setting and the back is setup to match the front in hight (as i did not want the rear wheel tucked under the arch) i also have 15mm spacers on the front and 10mm on the rear

even with four in the car I've had no rubbing issues

Thanks, great to hear! How about when steering wheel is fully locked? Dealer seems to be more concerned about potential for rubbing when wheel is locked at slow speeds...parking situations. This is probably dealer being overly cautious.

Dealer sent this picture over today. Front is set at its lowest setting, back is about 10mm lower than stock height. 12mm spacers in front and back.

Looks quite high. My F90 seems to sit way lower than yours on the BMW M performance has.

You can remove both front and rear wheels and check it out, and see if the suspension is actually set at max low or not.

That's the perfect drop for the M5 in my opinion I'll be doing the same. Looks perfect.

I personally like the way it looks, but I'm surprised it can't go lower. I'll check settings later in the year when winters go on. Thanks for the input.
