Hey Guys I wanted to start a dedicated thread for people that have MSS lowering springs. I just got my X5m about 2 weeks ago and have read just about every post about these springs. If you have them can you please post a picture (Before & After if you have) and also say which setting it is on. Thanks!

Thanks, I saw that thread. I am looking for something different as I stated in my first post.

+1 turn in front, +9 turns rear. RG Sport recommends +0 and +10 rear but I like a little less rake.

I always go lowest. But these pics are before they are settled.

Before…like any stock F95 😂

After

Not lowest setting. About 15mm gap front and rear

Just waiting for RG to make these front control arms and I am in the game.

What side skirts are these?

r33_rgsport I just received my set for M50i G05. I removed my rear shocks and set my MSS disc to 30mm from 0. Is it normal that even though I am dropping .784 of an inch that the 2 spring and disc are taller that the original rear springs I removed?

Why are you raising the adjuster if you are going to lower it?

Longer spring than stock is not necessarily meant it will be higher.
2 different setup style and 2 different spring rates.

I am planning on lowering only 1.1 inch in the front so I have the adjust set 20mm up from 0 in the front and 30mm up from 0 in the rear. When I placed the original spring next to the MSS set up the MSS set up is a lot larger so I wanted to make sure I was setting everything up correct. I guess that once the weight is applied it will compress below the original spring length.

Where did you get that number on how much to preset the adjuster?

Easiest is to start with the lowest and adjust it up to your preferred drop.
Instead of guessing too high and adjusting it downward.
More tension on the spring, the harder it will to adjust it.

I looked at your test vehicle that you had 0 in the front and 10mm up from 0 in the rear. The specs for my MSS springs rate 0-50mm drop so I started from the bottom and went up 20mm for a 30mm drop in the front and went from 0 to 30mm up in the rear for a 20mm drop

I see.
If you feel comfortable with that number, then sure.

I think you are 3 hrs difference from me on the East coast so I was very surprised you responded! Thank you very much for your guidance and for all the help you have provide to others. I only purchased from my retailer because I received a military discount but they didn't know a thing about the product. If I was at least within 300 miles of your shop I would give you all my business! Thanks again!

Thank you for kind words.
Best of luck.
