yah, that's damn close... remember that same model cars are not exactly-exactly identical when built, especially when we're looking at 1mm clearance to the strut. you're car could have more clearance or could touch as well. something to consider

when he bottoms out, is it the rear tire shoulder contacting the fender? it appears the front gap is larger than the rear. the springs are giving him a slight reverse rake. a coilover drop would be better in this case albeit more costly.
Wonder if he's xdrive. I've heard of xdrive models having reverse rake.

Yes, it's x-drive. All US F31 touring are x-drive.

Take a closer look at my side profile picture. Note that the front fender has a taller arc than the rear. Look at the relationship between the rocker panel and the ground. See how there is more front fender to wheel gap but the rocker panel is angled downward towards the front? There is an appearance of 'reverse rake' but it's simply a larger fender gap in the front due to the wheel arc design difference between front and rear - as it is on all F-series cars.

Note that H&R springs that I have lower the front by 1.75" and the rear by 1.4". I measured the distance between the bottom of the rocker panel to the ground. Front is 5" and rear is 6".

9.5 +18 super deep concave in front.

Anything is possible if you put your mind to it lol

Love your car!

As for myself, I don't want to deal with camber or go the bag route yet. Trying to see what's the most flush but still aggressive while on simple springs or coil overs (under $1000)

Thanks man! I actually didn't camber much just -1 lol
I would just save the 1k till it's 4K and get bags. Best investment in my opinion

And so it was! I went with this setup for my F32 and it turned out great! Sorry to revive this old thread but I had an additional question. I’m trying to go lower now and thinking about going with the H&R SS. Would shorter bump stops be enough with this setup? I have the 704 M sport suspension.

No, it wouldn't be too low. Worst case you would need camber plates.
