Good job matey, looks awesome. Looking at your pics, I'm much lower on my h&r springs for xdrive. What mm drop are these? I'm on 40s

These are quoted as 20-25mm front & rear but in reality it’s more like 30-35mm upfront I think!

Ok, for a giggle I decided to try the spacers on. Even though they measure just over 5mm, when installed, they introduce around 8mm lift, which is exactly what i needed.

Super easy. Drop each side, spring out, spacer on, install back on. 20 mins each side.

Sorry for reviving old thread. Just wondered if the prp part caused any issues long term? Was it fitted to vehicle with M Sport suspension package?
