utenigma , he seems to have installed just the LCA. Any issues so far? Have u tracked with the setup?

No issues for my M135i with M4 LCA at TD, nor after adding M4 TS's later on.
My reasons for installing these OEM parts were
- steering lacked feel;
- slow to turn-in and
- soft outer shoulders of MPSS tyres were wearing prematurely.
LCA (initially] and TS (fitted later on) are an OEM upgrade that sorted out all of the above foibles.
After adding M4 TS's to pre-installed M4 LCAs -
Geo - No impact on geo from having f8x LCAs pre-installed.
Visuals - Front ride height up a smidge. Front wheels now sited back in the centre of the arch.
Steering feel is same [IMHO] with LCA + TS as it was with LCA's only.
Braking - much sharper as one might expect with firmer TS bushes but this is marked improvement esp with my setup MPBBK, M4 sport pads and SS hoses.
NVH - slightly more in comfort but no change in sport+ mode - I think firmest adaptive damper setting is better suited to my aftermarket springs.
No regrets at all and TBH I'm happier now that I have matched LCA & TS as opposed dissimilar F8x LCA and F2x/F3x TS.
