Factory springs are linear which provides more accurate information on what is happening on the road, progressive springs is trying to be comfortable and then firms up when pushed hard. Feels floaty which I hate. H&R coilovers are firmer and kw is more comfort
Came back because it’s time for springs. To be clear, I don’t want the ride any stiffer than stock like coilovers. If I want to fill the gap and maintain most of the ride, would you recommend these then or regular h&r springs? Remember I want as close to stock as possible so it’s not jarring for my family! Lol. I am more scared of rubbing etc. I’m on pirellis and I think I’m going 12/15 mm spacers.
Yo dude! Absolutely totally get that. I think primarily the super sports just sit lower so it’s a matter of what you’d prefer for height. I’ll be honest and say I occasionally scrape my lip on super sports and sometimes other parts so I’m sure the regular would avoid that a little. As far as spacers I think you’d be fine with 12/15 on pirellis. I have 15 all around in Michelin no issues.
yup you can either swap out your factory springs for lowering springs or do coilovers. Basically coilovers replaces the shock and spring and it’s all in one. I’ll do a in depth video once mine are here.
coilovers give you a ton of freedom to adjust stiffness and height. however, springs on these cars are typically $600-1300 while coilovers are $3500-9000, hence lowering springs is usually preferred as it suits most people’s needs.
@@kentao4 damn dude so glad you are good, that tail spins out any chance it can get! We gotta get the cars n crew together once it gets a little warmer
What’s throwing your check engine light? Down pipe? Exhaust? That would bug the piss out of me, I’d immediately revert back to stock, I’m not dealing with that.
@@ChrisDavis333 so some people actually use o2 spacers or something to that extent to trick it. Personally I’ve heard hit or miss from friends that have it so I didn’t bother and just waiting for tune.
@@franklinwatson7767 I agree with you, 15mm especially when lowered. I thought mine was rubbing against my vent for the breaks, so i removed them, but the problem persist. I have been thinking of switching to 10mm.
the m3 is a performance sedan. its not a show car meant to be lowered. i dont understand why everyone wants to lower the car and affect the handling/suspension. it comes from the factory at the height its meant to be.

thanks for the honest review !!
Man you gonna be speeding all the time :-) I know the feeling I have a G80 6MT! If I could hear that sound Id be driving like a fool all the time
It enhances the drive so much, it’s what this car should’ve came sounding like.
@@myounz No DOUBT!!!
Another great honest review 🤘💯…….
some more fire content as always
That ride height is beautiful 🔥

...rim size isn't your "gap" problem. The front and rear tires are the exact same circumference.
You should program your valve controller to your home link buttons
I know I should, one of those things you keep putting off but maybe one day
@@myounz 😆
Do the coil overs lower it too or do u need the springs too. Also what springs and coil overs should i get?
Its more of a coil overs vs springs conversation. They both lower the car

Bro I was coming off the ramp in KOP and hadn’t warmed the tires up lol. Did a complete 180 by the tpk entrance. 😣
Damn dude no way, I hope you’re good! Cars are replaceable but we aren’t. I always monitor the tires in this season I get too paranoid for that reason
@@myounz I’m good. Just hit the ramp a bit fast and didn’t let up. I’m rwd so being in m2 mode, I lost my tail before I realized it

It’s the Catless downpipes
I figured that would be the culprit. Is there any reasonable solution for fixing it?

Ok you need coilovers like BC racing for comfort not cheap springs
I lowered my m4 with springs and lasted 24 before i ordered ohlins … springs are trash like trash do it right do it once .
Facts!
Catless sounds great. Get your shit unlocked.
When you're ready for some forged wheels let me know.
What are your spacers width?
15mm all around
@myounz I did 15mm in the rear and 12mm in front. Did you have to cut anything out in the front to avoid rubbing when turning?
@@franklinwatson7767Mine is definitely rubbing in reverse while turning 12mm front. Not sure what to do really.
@@jahudiniSame is happening to me, so I can imagine what the 15mm is doing with sharp turning.

カッコいいなあ
Need coilovers. Easy

Kinda ruined by the automatic.
why would anyone get a manual bmw ? 😭 they literally have the worst manuals out of any manufac
who cares cornball
no u😮
Tf 😂 not at all, you know nothing about manuals or bmw
@@user-od8vx2ei9g i full timed a miata for like 4 months and my cousin got an m4 manual. an auto BMW is literally better they depricate less too
