Got some AST springs and a stud conversion installed on my M3.

Looks good! I know they need time to settle but how was the initial ride quality compared to stock

Thanks Bro, and they're PSG AW102 forged wheels, (Performance Shop Geel). The size is 20x9.5 +10 front and 20x11 +20 rear. For the fronts I added +13mm spacers because with a +10 offset it was still caved in and for the rear I will add +5mm spacers just for a little more poke without compromising how they fit.


All wheels are custom built to order, cnc'd machined.

Here's a video I got from PSG when they were getting made.

That's interesting they feel softer than stock... is that a positive or negative in your opinion? Looks fantastic!

By softer, do you mean less harsh? I was looking into AST but I don't want an increase in cushiness/comfort whatsoever lol. I want more stiffness. Could you clarify?

It's not stiff or soft, it's in between I didn't want the H&R's because they have reverse rake.

It does depend on which car you have for H&R as they are all over the place with light rear drops on the M3 and even drops on the M4.

I personally do NOT want a huge rake and here is why... the G8X platform in RWD format has tremendous grip created by the rear bias squat and removing that by placing a larger drop in the front will create too much squat and dive on turn ins.

r33_RGSport Ben tested this on a few cars and said the over steer was very prevalent and the whole gain IMHO with the G8X chassis is the amazing RWD grip.

Now I also dont want to lower the rear too much to be nose up in the front LOL.

Your car, from the pics, looks spot on

I hear you on that Bro and yeah I'm happy with these springs, sucks I already ordered the KW HAS. I didn't feel like waiting until October to slap on my wheels and be stock height. So I will be putting them up for sale when they get here in October…

I really have no clue its lowered unless I use my mind and remember LOLOLOL

Now I am going to lower it more in the front this week so things will change just a bit as the shocks are compressed.

Will you be sharing how you achieved lowering the front more?

I may or may not.
I need to get this approved by MSS UK first before I can share it.
Because their brand name is on the line.
And I don't want to be the one that messing up others brand name.

IMO they already messed up. Car is too high for what they claim it suppose to be. So if anything you saved the day
