Quick update - ACS left me a voicemail today and said they don't have an exact ETA for the 4 spring package. Not sure what that means for timing, or if any other company will have a set sooner.

In retrospect - I would have prefered to have rear springs which would provide options over the spring rate. Self-leveling makes sense if you are towing, but I'm not sure why else one would want this option.
rbrockman,

Please post pics after your install and provide opinions (ie alignment issues) as I'm interested in eliminating the gap as well and also have the Adaptive M suspension.

Does anyone know if the H&R kit may cause premature failure of the OEM shocks and/or rear air suspension system?

I have adaptive m suspension, does this mean I have rear Axel air suspension in this kit? How do I determine if I do?

I don't have 3rd row seating. Thanks

Do you have Self Leveling?
The easiest way is to peak through the rear wheel and see if you have spring or not.

I need measurement ground to fender both front and rear for M Sport with and without self-leveling.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I do not have self levelling, looked through the rear but couldn't see anything that was clearly a spring and rear shock. The cup was there but couldn't tell if it's a shock and a bag.

Take a picture and post it.

As you see on my signature.
I just lowered mine.
It is a testing spring combination. I only been driving it for 1 day. So this is the only and best feedback I can give so far.
I haven't run on lowering springs for about 20 years. I have been riding on street/race setup coilover for 5 years on my 964 C2 and KW Variant 2 on my '12 F10.
With that, I kind a wish they have coilover for this car. Because spring is spring, they are springy. Anyway, cut to the chase, as I need to get things going on my end.
It is nice, but you can feel a moderate bounciness if you are on high speed and the freeway surface is uneven due to earthquakes movement.
But on street driving, the car feel perfectly fine.
My car is a basic suspension setup. No Adaptive, No Dynamic whatsoever.
So, there is body roll of course, but better than stock.
Do I recommend it? If you are going for a look, this is the only solution right now. The result might be different with self-leveling setup since the rear still controlled by the stock suspension, the computer being fooled to lower the car.

I hope this helps and I will give more writing once I got back to from my business trip and drive my car again.

How were the KWs on your F10? I never even dreamed about coil overs on a SUV.

I had a set of KWs on my 996 C4S and loved them...

r33, so what are you lowered on? H&R? I thought they only have front springs and links for the rear but you mention you have springs at all 4 corners...

KW is great, but I personally don't like the way german coilovers are.
It is hard to explain in writing without diagram.
I used to run CROSS Coilover on my 964 C2. Great setup for the weekend warrior.

I did my research and testing it, and so far no issues yet.
I can build you a set, but I can't share the secret sauce yet. **Kungfu Panda thing**
Oh, also. Installation was a breeze. First time install took me 2-3 hours.
Now, I think I can do it in 1-1.5 hour easy. The annoying part is just removing all the panel covering the front shock tower.

R33 - I'd be interested in a set. I sent you a PM yesterday. Thank you
