Curious to see if anyone has tried either of these out. aFe's performance center is down the street from my house and i saw a few of the mods they have for the M2 but i haven't been able to find reviews so i'm hesitant to try it out.

Edit:

I got my aFe springs installed by @ultramagneticAL last night and now i'm writing down my initial impressions. I've only put about 40 miles on them so far so keep that in mind.

We can start with the packaging and general look of the springs. Everything was pretty standard. The springs were packed neatly and there was enough packaging material so they weren't banging around in the box. As far as the look of the springs go... i'm a fan. The orange resembles the M4 GTS color and while i'll probably never see the springs again until I more suspension mods, it's kind of cool to know it's there.



As far as the overall drop goes, it is a good 1" drop. Perhaps a bit more once the springs settle.

Rear: Before and After


Now the important bit, ride quality. I put about 1,000 miles on the stock springs so i got a decent feel for how the car would ride. Initial impressions of the aFe springs would be that it is nearly identical to stock. I honestly can't feel any difference in ride quality when compared to stock. I want to say it's a tad bit softer than the stock springs but that may just be the placebo effect talking. Either way, i'm happy with the look and that it maintained ride quality.

Editt:

I stopped by aFe today and caught their M2 in the parking lot. Snagged a few pictures..






From what I could see they have it lowered on their coilovers and it has their downpipe back exhaust. Didn't get to hear the exhaust since it was a quick fly by

It really depends on the height and how low the car is.
I got ms springs and it's a perfect dropping.

Give them a call, perhaps they have a car on hand you can take a look at. I know Nic, the owner, is very much into M cars and may be driving one.

I did just this. Went in this morning and the owner, Nick, had taken the M2 home lol. I'm picking up some springs from aFe later so I might be able to catch a look at the car if it's there. I'll try to get some photos of it to share here as well
