Do you have access to those manuf. torque specs? Looking to do my own install.

OP, do you still have your F30? How have the struts held up to the springs after a couple years?

Everything's great after 2.5 years and 16,000 miles (yes I don't drive much).

I'm just wondering if my springs were installed correctly. The front is 25.5 inches ground to fender and the rear is 26 inches ground to fender. I haven't done an alignment yet and the wheels are the stock 400M's 8 inches all around. I paired the H&R sport springs with the Bilstein B8 shocks. My car is a 2013 BMW 335i X-Drive. Can anyone shed some light on why my fronts appear to be lower than other people's cars on this set up?

I wouldn't worry - yr stance looks spot on - how does it drive ?

The front end isn't able to soak up expansion joints and quick bumps at lower speeds. The shocks aren't up to the task of the stiffer and shorter springs, in my opinion. I'm going to replace the setup with a full coilover setup in the spring. At higher speeds, the ride is actually better because I don't think the chassis has an opportunity to "dive" into the bump (if that makes any sense).
