[MR_X]

Thank you I will definitely have that checked! Any pointers on how I can tell them springs apart?

The rear springs are thicker.

Post of the part number of the springs and if you have them in the front or rear. You can compare it to the part number in the picture in a couple post up.

I jacked baby girl up and got some pics of the front springs. The garage said everything looks fine but I would love your input fam

What EDC canceler are you guys using? I finally got my KW ones and apparently got a bad one. Car giving me a code for right rear.

I use RS*R. No issues

What issues are you having with Swift Springs?

There is a squeaking sound when turning the wheel at low speeds since install. Had it professionally installed and brought it back for readjustment but suppsoedly from the forums a few people are having clunking/squeaking issues with the Swift springs. Also it rubs on 265/35/19 which I thought would be conservative in the TE37 A90 fitment.

My Ohlins should be here next week with Vorshlag plates and then ill raise the front a few mm from the Swift spring stance and go from there.

What is your offset? I run the same tire (MP4S not BMW specs) on the stock wheels with 15mm spacers and it doesn’t rub. Using Ohlins springs though.

Its 19x9.5 +22 front, 19x10.5 +35 rear. 265/35/19 front, 305/30/19 rear, both OEM MP4S

By swift springs also Im talking about Swift springs with OEM damper, not Swift springs with the Ohlin coilover. Im recieving my Ohlin coilovers (with Ohlin springs and vorshlag plates) next week and moving to that because of multiple reasons. The front is too low on the swift springs + oem damper IMO.

Oh gotcha. Mine didn’t rub on the H&Rs but running 15mm spacers makes the OEM wheels a 17mm offset.

Got my Ohlins from 3DM with Vorshlag plates. SPL toe links with eccentric lockout still on the way. 2 weeks from install and 3 from alignment.

3DM does awesome work. Did you do anything custom with the valving or spring rates?

Nothing custom at the moment, I may rebuild them in a year with different swift springs and get them revalved. I want to run them on the track first with this setup and see what I prefer. Car is also a daily so I didn’t want to go full send on stiffer springs

Thinking adding some helper springs to the front. Eibach makes some and there are some Ohlins ones but from over seas. What size should I be looking for?

Why do you think you need/want helper springs?

I had the ride height the way I wanted it (lowered 1/4” more than what Ohlins settings calls for) but the springs are not supported at full extension. On big bumps they were coming out of their seats. Want to add helper springs so they stay in their seats.
