What is your ride height on MSS springs?

[swrdply400mrelay]

Went with 20 mm drop all around, stock tires, spacers 10 and 12 mm

anyone have experience adjusting the rears? I'm not able to adjust the spring perch just by just jacking the car up, do I have to remove the camber bolt again?

No need to remove it.
Here’s a helpful guide and useful tips to do it. Not a Supra but works the same.

Another angle at the lowest setting

looks great.
That’s stock wheels?

I bought a set of TItans TS5s on 19 and massive tires 275/30 front 305-30 rear.
Hopefully they will fit without rubbing

I will do the install this weekend.

Yeah stock with spacers. Nice can’t wait to see them installed!

The 305/30 rears are a smaller diameter than stock, so probably will have some clearance. How much drop do you plan to do?

I’m planning to go as much as I can without rubbing and respecting the 5mm rear increase that MSS recommends

Any of you running this kit have issues? Set up an appointment to have mine installed at a local BMW specific shop I trust and they refused, citing “installation issues and lack of manufacturer support”.

I bought lightly used/like new and if I have to eat the cost of purchase so be it. I was just not aware about f any issues prior.

Rethinking my suspension strategies now.

Not really a surprise these days. Unless they have previous experience fitting an aftermarket accessory with zero issues and comebacks I can see why it's not worth it for them. Too much risk and not enough reward esp if they have a full book of work on the usual zero/minimal risk stuff.

Yeah I get that. They sell AST HAS kit so I was wondering if they were just trying to steer me to something they make a profit on. I can understand as that is their business.

I could do the install myself but as I get older I have less and less interest in doing so both from a time and sore back perspective. I just don’t want to install something I’d have problems with.

Maybe I will just go with their recommendation and see if I can unload the MSS stuff like locally. Wouldn’t be the first time I’ve wasted money on a car. ?

Same, same.

When I showed the links of the MSS and Dinan springs to a local independent BMW shop, the owner recommended the Dinan springs, primarily because he has a good relationship with them. Of course, that doesn't mean anything is wrong with MSS. The Dinans are not adjustable but are not going to slam the car.

Yeah, that is my thought. I mean the designs are all the same. Sure there could be a quality difference but…

I am really not looking for low. I really just want a bit more spring rate. I already struggle with some driveways and parking lots with my front lip.

On the bright side, I haven't seen any serious issues with MSS presented here. Maybe check around with other shops?
