Possible to lower car while retaining current performance?

officedog · 05-16-2018, 04:10 AM

I am picking up my 2018 M4 CP this weekend and one of the last things I would like to address is the height. I would like to be able to lower it around 20mm at the front, a little less at the rear probably, but some.

I understand there are various options out there and I am leaning towards simply replacing the springs with ACS but I am concerned that the car with then drive differently from both a comfort and performance perspective and I would like to retain both as close to stock as possible.

The car has adaptive suspension.

Does anyone have any specific input on the ACS springs or perhaps the MP HAS in relation to differences from stock on a CP car?

Thanks in advance.

There is an extensive (2,000+ post) thread about MP HAS.

If you are concerned about retaining OEM driveability, use OEM parts. I am going to be installing MP HAS in the coming weeks.
