Springs for the M2

abirmaher · 10-04-2017, 11:56 PM

Hi All! Curious on spring options out there for the M2 as well as photos and opinions. Thanks in advance!

ATH_M2 · 10-05-2017, 01:22 AM

Eibach & H&R are common. Dinan has a coilover sleeve kit which I will be getting soon for my M2.

@ban_m2 has Eibach on his.

H&R's

abirmaher · 10-05-2017, 09:07 AM

Leaning towards Macht schnell right now but these are all solid choices. Any opinions appreciated.

We had great feedback on Macht Schnell as well.

KW HAS kit is also a great option if you want height adjustability.

The ride is a little bit stiffer but overall not much different than stock. I am not a fan of the 4x4 look so something had to be done. In a perfect world I would have gone coilovers but I find the springs do the job well. No rubbing at all, even on big bumps. I also installed Vorshlag camber plates at the same time which allowed the front to tuck a little more.

Here is a pic with Apex 18x9.5+35 wheels on 265/35/18 888R's.

I know I am -2.5 degrees up front and -2.0 rear. As far as the the other numbers I will have to post them later, info sheet is at home.

Like ATH_M2 said I have Eibach and have put them thru their paces in a couple Autocross events and I am very happy with them.

Perfect drop and the car still behaves just like it did OEM. So itâ€™s not harsh or bouncy.

aFe Control Variable Height Springs (VHS) is also available for the M2, but I haven't seen anyone run this setup. I am curious to know how it compares to the Dinan suspension as it is a similar system.

How's the feedback about the KW HAS as far as ride comfort goes compare to stock?

Are you using spacers with this setup? Macht Schnell has great reviews on the m3/m4 forums.
