Old Darth’s combo up above was spot on I felt at the time

Can't see reverse rake in it myself now.

There is no reverse rake. The front wheel arches are slightly larger than the rears to allow for steering. Both the yellow circles in this picture are the same size. The angle of the side skirt compared to the ground shows there is no reverse rake.

Go one then ...any excuse...

Liking your graphics here.
I’ve been told your the man to speak to for ACS parts. I’m looking for f31 335d springs and possibly a tailgate spoiler.
Thanks in advance 👍

Thank you Lorcan. Sorry in advance for being cheeky. Are there any discount codes available? I’ll wait until the country is back to ‘normal’ before I order the spoiler.
Thanks again 👍

[Lorcan]

No harm in asking, but there are no discount codes available. In fact, AC Schnitzer are currently giving us some temporary support to prevent prices going up.

I discovered yesterday that the F31 roof spoiler is now sold out and discontinued, along with most of our aero products for F30/F31. We have the last set of front spoiler elements in stock. Boot spoiler and saloon roof spoilers are still available for now, but will be discontinued soon.

Yes I found out yesterday after making the post and updated our site to reflect this.

H&R sport fitted today and couldn't be happier! No rubbing or any other issues blau3er, and the ride is the same comfort wise, but with the added bonus that it corners flatter and has much less nose dive under braking. That, combined with the neutral toe on the alignment has really improved the turn in response.

On a bumpy b road it will be exposed by the standard dampers, but at 7-8 10ths it feels mint.

Most importantly though, it looks sweet while parked and cruising down the motorway

G50 - car is looking good and wondered now that the springs have settled, are you still experiencing no issues with the 245/35 and 265/35 MPS4s with regards to rubbing?

Also, are you running H&R 28878-4 - the same as I am?

In the next couple of weeks I'm getting ACS springs fitted on my 335d GT Xdrive with the factory dampers. I want improved handling and want to keep comfort levels up as I feel this would be the best balance for Norfolk roads. Not too keen to lower too much. Does anyone have this setup?
I'll post pics when they are on. I'm also getting a custom exhaust to have single pipes either side of the bumper as they are on the 340i. Car is currently having a machine polish and alloy refurb... Can't wait to have it back!
Lorcan, I notice you are based in Norfolk. Do you have an ACS showroom here? The springs for my car are reduced to £210 which is a steal!

There is no doubt that the H&R offer a better stance as they don’t leave the car with reverse rake - but I think it’s fair to say that the ACS probably handle better.

Lovely stance and the colour looks custom? Those brakes

Where did you source them and what are the specs?

Thank you.

I developed / researched the brake kit myself with the assistance of a company called vagbremtechnic, who did all of the hard work getting the brackets made.

The brake set up is:

F10 M5 6 pot brake calipers
F87 M2 Competition 400x36mm brake discs
F10 M5 / F87 M2 Competition brake pads
Vagbremtechnic custom radial brackets

The colour of my car is called Pure Blue - it was a factory individual order

Hi mate, yes same part number on the springs, I ordered on the back of one of your posts mentioning part number.

Still fine now they've settled. Had a mega blast around the empty tiny B roads of the lake district yesterday, absolutely no issues, loads of humps and compressions at speed.

Excellent - I’ll add the PS4s to mine then next time I need tyres!

Lake District? Nice! I grew up in a little village on the Cumbrian / Lancashire border, lovely part of the world!

Yes, but it's currently closed due to the restrictions.

Brilliant, I'll remember that for the future. I'm now thinking of going the full hog and getting the ACS shock absorbers as well as the springs... Want to keep it comfy though.

Wow that's some real great customisation, I noticed your car on their website advertising the brakes 👍
Blue looks class 👌

A great combination that keeps the comfort but sorts the handling out properly.

I had two leaking rear shocks and thought i may as well replace with the whole ACS spring and shocks system. No regrets at all.
