Clearance issue w/ M front spoiler + sport springs?

YMBM4 · 10-10-2014, 02:45 AM

Deciding if I should lower my m4 (arriving in 2-weeks). I already ordered M front splitter/spoiler.

All the pics w/ m front spoiler lower m3/4 looks really low! Should I be concerned? What are you guys experience?

How many inches of clearance to the ground?

Thx!

I get scarily close to bottom of the M4 vert without any additions right now. I sorta have to enter diagonally some places. Typically, it's driveways and garages that are the killer on that.

I've got the Vorsteiner front lip coming and lowering the car on Sports this week. Scared to death. lol

I plan on doing the M Performance splitters/lip and lowering on a set of the KW sleeves or V3 coilovers. Coming from a heavily modded static 350z with a bumper that's bottom was only about 2" above the ground, and driving around Miami for three years, I'm not too worried.

Plus, the bottom lip/splitter for the M4 is pretty inexpensive (under $400 from GBMWP or BMWPP), and it would be fairly easy/cheap to repair if something were to happen to it. Especially compared to the $1,300 Amuse fiberglass bumper I had on my Z, lol.

Our car is lowered with the BMW performance front lip. I wouldn't be concerned, we had no issues bottoming out. Only thing to be careful is going into pulling into driveways, speedbumps and parking stops.

jc1654M4 · 10-16-2014, 01:37 PM

Any tips on installing the lip?

Hi,
What springs did you use, I want to lower with the splitter on but I am worried about clearance. The car will be on 20" Vossens.
Thanks

GarlicBun · 01-31-2015, 03:39 PM

which spring gives the more minimal drops?
H&R Sport?
Swift?
or Eibach

I will lower my car for sure, but thinking should i add the lip or not..
or maybe just some ebay junk and let the road destroy them lol

Longbow64 · 01-31-2015, 03:58 PM
