ACS Springs on stock m sport

Got my springs put on this week so I wanted to post up pictures for those considering ACS. Definitely a conservative drop. Ride quality is good. Less "floating" than the stock springs. Sport mode feels great.

These were taken right after install so they should settle just a little more. Now I just need to find some bigger wheels

take the Forgestar F14, they are the best wheel to keep a clean look and to stay near to "OEM look".

I've one question for you, with the M-suspensions you have the buton to choose between sport and normal mode ??

Yes you can choose sport, normal and comfort. Comfort feels like a huge Cadillac

I have a 550i on RD sport springs, and they are much lower. I wanted to know which model you have because from what I've seen, 550s sit lower I guess because of the engine weight. Next time, I'm going with the ACS.

IMO ACS springs are the best choice, they give a soft drop which give a good look without drop to much the car.

Lowering looks good. Next month I will get ac springs and Antera 501 20" wheels with winter tires. I think 20" enough. 19 " looks little bit small even if its bigger as normal sizes, which is 17"...
