It's my first M car and first car that I am thinking to lower, also if I will lower it I will not have chance to have Lip, because roads in California far from perfect and I have about 5 bumps on my everyday commute

Lower it first. You will get more enjoyment out of the different ride characteristics

Definitely recommend the SWIFT springs. Amazing drop and ride quality, and won't break your wallet either. In my opinion the best springs for our platform

Lower it first. You'll get much more enjoyment out of it for the buck. Macht Schnell rides very nice with a perfect drop IMHO. I have this setup with 12mm read and 15mm front spacers and it looks perfect IMHO. I get you in the road conditions too. I won't get a lip because it will just get scrapped up like my CF lip that was on my S4.

Thanks, i think will do only Spring and Spacers. After long overthinking and speaking with Shop guys, decide to go with Swift springs, because it is best hight in my opinion and also they are linear and will do 12mm spacers all around
