Got my H&R springs thanks to another forum member and had them installed yesterday. Took a couple quick pics right after the install. Overall I love the look as it makes the vehicle look far more sporty and less like a soccer mom SUV. I'm hoping the front will settle little more as I feel like it looks more aggressive in the back. It tucks my 23's really well. I rolled the dice with them and didn't go down in tire profile when I upsized my new wheels, but they haven't rubbed at all yet - front or rear. I'm running 325/30/23 Pirelli's on the rear and 285/35/23 on the front. Loving the new look!

Any day pics? Looking at purchasing these in the near future.

What wheels are those? What max drop did you get with the Springs and how is the ride?

how's camber? I just got my mss coils and h&r spacers on today =. Not nearly as low as yours but worried about camber killing tires.

Post Pics! MSs is another option I am considering but not liking the idea of camber killing $2k tires…

Camber doesn't kill tires. Toe does.

Here are some photos of The MSS Urban coils with H&R spacers. I think the suspension will settle a little more. These are set as low as the springs will go. Wasn't looking to slam it. I will say it rides just as smooth if not smoother than factory springs.
Last picture is the before. I obviously swapped my bigger wheels on as well.
Sorry for the sideways shots. Is there a way to rotate them?

[PNWM50I]

Thanks! Spacer size for rears?

[NYCX5M50i]

12 up front 15 rear

I like the MSS set - I only dropped mine 1" in front and back for now.

Looks great at the lowest setting. I don't think the settling on mine was as dramatic as some other spring sets i've installed in the past. Which i think is a great thing as it says the springs are doing what they are supposed to.

I was LITERALLY about to buy these a few mnts ago but if I can’t lower it .5-.75 than in your pictures I may IGA rto go the KW V3 route, also what exhaust is that?

Keep in mind that this is maybe an hour after installing springs and about 20 miles of driving. They should settle in and drop another half inch from what I understand. The things rides incredibly smooth, responsive etc. Im impressed so far.
The exhaust is just tips. There's a thread on here with all the info. They made the whole truck look so much ore aggressive from the rear.

Thanks for the feedback, I’m more interested in increased handling so I’m thinking of giving the H&R Springs and try and if I don’t like them I’ll bight the bullet and do the 3800$ (price+installed) Commitment to coilovers. Just hate to spend that on a car that was only about 71k…

$3,800??? for what?

I'm having a hard time finding G05 MSS adjustable spring feedback from experience. I just installed them on my 2022 x40i at lowest setting and it only dropped 16mm from stock. Response from my sales rep is that they should settle after 500-2,000 miles. Can it settle to the advertised range of 50mm? The ride is amazing but was hoping for much more drop than 16mm. Thank you

To buy the KWV3 coilovers and then have them installed- $3100 price- 5-700$ install- Not worried if you know a guy who can do it in one hour or something like that, many of the shops around here are in that price range for a coilover install. But yes, it’s an absurd amount of money, at least to me.

Mine does not even look like they dropped the car at all and I had mine installed today. I have driven it 50 miles and I can still put 4 fingers between the tire and the finder. I'm very disappointed that I spent money on something that absolutely did not work. Unless I'm missing something. Has anyone else experienced this? I will post pictures tomorrow.

Sorry to see this- did you measure before and after? Can you tell a difference in the ride and handling? 4 fingers is a huge gap, definitely not what should exist after installing them.

You have MSS coil overs? Mine has settled more and sits perfectly now. I have mine on the lowest setting . Car rides smoother than it did with the factory springs and handles like a slot car. Im blown away with these things.

I just installed MSS springs on my X5 x40i about two weeks ago and only dropped .16. Sales rep said after 500 miles it should settle to the advertised drop of 1-1.5. Do you believe after you put some miles on the springs this was accomplished?
