I'm running the MP coils with 10/10 and I rub on hard dips in the front with the stock Michelins. Got it aligned along with the coilover install.
I'm pretty sure it rubbed before I added the spacers, though. It's a minor rub and it takes some speed over a sharp dip. |

Here's my car after adding 15's
H&R Springs, no rubbing so far As of now the rear is more aggressive by a few mm's. A 15/12 or an 18/15 would suit the car better in my opinion if you want a square set up. The front could go up to an 18. 15 is deff the max for the rear. If you want a staggered look then a 12/12 or 15/15 is perfect. I'm going to keep this set up for now and see if i change my mind.

I am not sure how you are not rubbing with that set up? Did you get camber plates for the front I had my car aligned yesterday and there is no way to add more negative camber with stock set up in the front. He was able to adjust the toe. I was able to add negative camber in the rear, it is now -2.5. I did not rub on the way home, but I was playing it safe and not pushing it to much.

I guess that is possible but mine were rubbing the second day after I installed them. But after the alignment I have not had a problem yet. So hopefully that fixed the issue.

Anyone have any comments on ohlins and spacers? I'm thinking of 10 mm all the way around.
Also I found these useful articles https://europeanautosource.com/blog/...and-track.html https://www.turnermotorsport.com/t-w...s-encyclopedia

I am going to monitor this thread....I plan on lowering mine slightly but am getting reports of people cutting tires at the track on M2's that are lowered and have spaces installed. I inspected the inner fender lip of a M2 and it is shaped & finished differently then my M4 was.....not rolled up as far and can see how this would cut a sidewall.

I consider 10mm to be the perfect amount in spacers for this car.

Just installed my BMS Spacers!
-10 mm for the rear -12 mm for the front Outstanding quality, even comes with anti-seize lol. The kit also comes with extended lug nuts. Bonus, BMS gives you a free wheel pin to help with mounting/removing the wheels, it definitely helped out. It looks amazing! I’m on stock height, so there is very little poke (I was hoping for flush), but I actually REALLY like it as is. Still unsure if I want to lower the car (either Eibach Springs or KW HAS Kit), which I’m sure will make the wheels flush with the added camber due to lowering. My biggest worry was vibration, NO VIBRATION! Yay! When I installed them I used a steel bristle brush on the wheel hubs and wheels to make sure the surface was clean (surprised there was rust around the hub lips). Spacers fit perfectly. I went with the 12 mm in the front because most seemed to run that and apparently the 10 mm may have not fit due to the hub lip sticking out too far. I tested a 10 mm on the front and it fit perfectly fine, HOWEVER I am glad I got the 12 mm for the front wheels, the amount of slight poke on the front vs rear is identical, I like it. Highly suggest the BMS kit. I’m sure the Macht Schnell and Turner kits are great as well! Overall, I’m glad I got the spacers, car looks more aggressive it’s nice. Not sure if they do anything for performance handling haha, but they’re definitely worth the small cost. Last edited by NO_USER_; 10-14-2017 at 01:14 PM.. |
