Good news is I was able to drive home and install the rears (updated OP).

Bad news is I screwed up one of the upper rear rubber spring pads so I ordered a new one and it will be here next week. I'll get the fronts installed Saturday afternoon.

Awesome and ya I think 2015-2016 they did that and went back to old system of not paying to transfer for 2017 or something like that. I know I didn't pay a dime for my 2014.

And just looked at the photos. Correct me if I'm wrong but that is 3 different springs am I right? And that drop looks perfect! Wish we could switch to springs with the air bags

Nice drop.
Question, how do you tie down the brake line? I didn't see any mounting place on the coilover.

It is the coilover spring, H&R spring, and Stock spring.

Oh, and technically, yes you can convert to spring.
Just need to code and unplug the fuse for the air compressor.

The new shock doesn't have a clip for the brake line. I can't imagine it being an issue. I'll post a picture later of what it look like.

Not sure how the spring will sit as there is no perch on the lower part of the arm. Hard to explain but it's flat with a hole in it where the air bag snaps into

Pretty sure how would put the bottom spring mount in like the standard suspension has. But I’m not sure. I don’t know exactly what yours looks like.

Hmm. Ya Maybe that would work. Can't really tell by the pic. I personally don't like the airbags. They're not that comfortably. They are way less forgiving. And are way too expensive. Now I've seen other manufacture do well with the airbag business but the F15 is not that example. Hopefully the G05 with all 4 wheels on bags will bode better.

You just need to get the bottom and upper spring pad if you are using lowering spring or stock spring.
If you are using coilover, you just need the upper spring pad.

Mike, I actually think the drop in the rear looks really good. No need in slamming an SAV. Maybe you'll get a touch lower once springs settle.

Yea its ok. For my taste, I wanted to be an inch lower than my H&R setup so I need them to settle 1/2" to make that which probably won't happen. I guess in my mind, I was hoping to achieve my 'drop goal' and still have some room left. I didn't want to be at max low not that it really matters.

It looks very good, I mean rear height. Better than H&R for sure. However, I'm a bit surprised that's lowest it can go. I swear I saw f15 on kw3 siting lower than that, but I can't find picture of it. Maybe i'm imagining things? I'm not sure.

In this thread, this guy is pretty low and he said that he still has room to go lower... https://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1582792

Yes, I'm thinking that kw3 has just wider range of height adjustments - a clear win for kw3 in this one. However, if all else will check out good - then Neomax is still a good budget option I think.

Yea IF the ride quality, comfort and handling pan out, these will be a no brainer. If you want to be slammed, you might have to go KW or bags or I think you can actually order these in a ‘super low’ version.

Installed the fronts this morning. Just wanted to post a quick update that I’m super stoked about these. At max low, the front is an inch lower than my H&R and the ride quality is awesome.

I’ll post more details and pictures tomorrow but wanted to get this quick update up ASAP.

How many miles do you have with them at this point?

Maybe 10-15miles tops. I owe some pics and update to the op, just been super busy this week. Also had to raise up the front 1/2” this morning to get rid of some of the rake.

From the Flickr pictures, it looks good.

Updated OP with pics and a quick update.

Looks awesome mike. Great find! Love the complete moon with the MPBK, drilled rotors, and 21". Looks perfect to me. Oh and the angled exhaust tips as icing on top.

[fr_tz]

Stance looks great. Staying tuned for when you get some more miles on them. How much were you lowered in the front causing the shake?

So far its really good, but I've barely driven this thing so hopefully I can have some more feedback after this week.

What shake?

I'm curious what you guys think of the stance at max low versus when I raised the front 1/2".
