Thanks for the reply! So that's just to prevent smashing the factory bump stomps on big bumps? Would I realistically ever encounter a situation where this would happen if these springs are as firm as people report them to be? I'd rather hit bumpstomp than smash the underside of my car if going to E36 bumpstops would allow that.

How does the ride with the H&R springs with the factory shocks/struts compare to OEM?
Wanting to do exactly this. Currently have OEM staggered ZCPs, but would like to move to square when the time comes for tires. So I might as well lower it, too, right? |

It rides absolutely great. Just a little more aggressive/stiffer than stock. It's the first time I've found stock shocks to actually work with lowering springs. 99% of the time, this type of application results in a ruined ride and only a cosmetic improvement. Check out MRF'S detailed write up on this, he has given lots of feedback on ride quality as well.

Last question and I'll leave you be. Obviously it's running fine and has been for some months now. Were there any issues/concerns with running the wider wheel up front with no spacer? Seems that it would be awfully close to the spring unless you were running a much smaller diameter aftermarket coilover. I'm planning on running either Continental Extreme Contact or Michelin PS4 275/30/19's when the time comes. -Tyler |

Nope, no issues. You can do the math on www.willtheyfit.com and see how it sits up front within 3mm on the outside (aka virtually identical) and not much more on the inside than a stock 19x9 without a spacer. Do it!

I’m running 275/30-19 squared on 19x10 et25 with b&g springs, no spacer in the front, and a 12mm in the back and I have no rubbing at all. |

Thought I posted here but I recently added squared M359s with 265/35 fronts and 275/35 rears, 10 mm spacer rear, stock zcp suspension

Have you had any rubbing? I have an E92 ZCP, and 265/35R19 Michelin PS4S on the 19x10 ZCP wheels destroyed my front fender liners. When I went to 19x10 ET20 Forgestar F14s, the additional 5mm offset made the rubbing even worse. Just last week I swapped out the fronts to 265/30R19 to stop the rubbing, since my rears are still 265/35R19. I eventually will go to 275/30, though.

I also don't track my car and have no plans to do so this was more a cosmetic, eye appeal mod. I wanted the biggest tire I could to enjoy a decent ride for what an M car is while having a flush look with minimal size spacer. I took all this into consideration when choosing the tires sizes. I realize I could have squeezed a 285 back there but I'd certainly have minor rubbing which I can't stand. The front rub is so rare and minor it's not a concern.

I had zero change in ride quality, and as above, it's supported by the math that there should not be any remotely perceptible difference to absorption of bumps/unevenness in the road surface.
