I know right!

15mm rear and 12mm front makes the 351m wheels so much better looking. That's what I'm currently running but will be ditching them most likely since I ordered a new set of wheels

Does lowering cause extra wear/stress on the upper ball joints? Had that issue with a previous car...

Lowering can have side affects but obviously I think it is worth it. I've had 3 lowered bmw's and other lowered cars the only issues I've had is tireware when you drop alot. As far as I know there are no "known" issues with dropping the f10 others then possible tires (alignment can help, or adjustable camber plates or arms) or shortened strut/shock life. Which is part of the reason I went with ACS, It is a moderate/light drop. Def improvement is ride and handling so I'll take the risk. IMO!!!

I'm sure more will chime in, and with more f10 knowledge. I've only had mine less then a month

Yea I need to work on my patients on the forums lol. You mentioned you might sale but that rear gap was just staring at me! Lol

BTW I found the spacers (bmw specific) on amazon for 67 shipped. . With bolts. Once I get them and give them a good look I'll post a link for others if interested.. Wanted BMS but after shipped almost $50 more...

No additional wear that I've noticed, I lowered my previous E60s without any issues. As previously stated, there is additional tire wear because the spec camber is exaggerated when you lower the car, but that can be dialed out at a competent shop. The dealer will never dial it out, they do spec only.

So I just got back from the phone directly with ACS USA. These springs are the newest batch that does not require the rubber sleeves. They are know as the new evolution springs kit. Mine arrived today and the production date stamped is 1/6/16. They also included a vip lounge card

I didn't get a card and I didn't see a production date stamp anywhere. Where is the stamp?

yea the e39 was an amazing car! still miss it today!

This car has a lot of great tech is a better grand tourer.....family loves riding in this thing on a long trip!

I'm going to drive for about 200-300 miles then alignment, and measure for spacers (at min the rear)

*first pic is before

I'll post another after settle in period..

Looking good, I am on Dinan springs and the drop is perfect, makes the car look more aggressive and sleeker, not to mention the car handles much better. Time for me to switch out the run flats and get a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports.

Can you post pics of your wheels with the spacers? I am planning on ordering a set this week and want to see if I should order 10mm or 12mm spacers for the front.

Thanks.

Look up the part number on the ACS website. It is prob just the front or rear Springs alone. Best price I could find I mentioned above. 440 shipped.

Good luck!

Thanks a lot!

Here are some quick pics (one is outside of Hanger 24 brewery, looks ghetto tho with trash and what-not lol)

I am running only 15mm in the back, nothing in the front. If any spacers in front I might order 10mm as long as I can still get a "good" hubcentric lip.

Looks great! I too am running 15mm spacers in the rear which is perfect. I initially put some 12.5mm spacers in the front as well but took them off within 10min after installing as they poked too much. Don't think a spacer in the front is necessary.

Thanks, good to know. I think I will do the same, thanks for saving me the time and money.
