AC Schnitzer springs installed!

ipilcher · 10-15-2015, 06:37 PM

Had a bit of trouble finding someone in DFW to install them and probably paid too much, but really, really happy with the result.

They make the 18-inch wheels look so good, that I'm totally justifying this with the cost of the 19-inch wheels that I now don't have to buy.

A few additional thoughts (copied from another thread by request) ...

I was worried that a 25mm drop would be too aggressive, but that's definitely not the case on an F34; it simply gets rid of the quasi-crossover look that someone at BMW seems to think people want.

I haven't noticed a significant difference in the ride, which is all to the good. I've actually been very happy with the suspension since I got Dinan Shockware installed, and I definitely didn't want anything substantially stiffer. With the ACS springs, speedbumps and our local disintegrating road are about the same, and cornering is as good or better.
