Guys! Finally done it. Moved from eibach to ACS for my 550i.

Only had drove the car for maybe a total of 30mins or so. But ACS does feel noticeably firmer than the eibach. A bit higher than eibach as well. But haven't got a chance to take any pictures yet and will do ASAP.

On a side note, the shop discovered that one of my shock screws were bent at the top, probably due to the stupid ditch down garden road at the ICBC building entrance. Yeah, I gunned down there so was my fault.


On the other hand, RC3, good news is that with my Forged1 wheels (slightly narrower than F14 standard F10 widths), the wheels still have absolutely NO SCRATCH on them so far So there you have it! RC3, get narrower rims!

congrats on the new toy.
you guys with lowered cars. I would get a tower bar to support the top. I have seen so many BMW cars with cracked top.

good advice. will ask around asap

Yeah for me it will only be a matter of time before I change my H&R springs. Used to really love it as I was coming from stock. But lately, I still think this can be improved more. Still find it quite bouncy. Body roll is still there although a lot less than stock.

Will probably do this next after I get my M-bumper if and when I get it. I'm still pissed with WK. After this bumper, never gonna deal with them ever again.

Congrats for the new springs. Now you are the spring slut. Actually I think any kind of springs will have some improvement from the stock. But ultimately need the coilovers. But you have DHP so...

No scratches? Have you improved your parking/driving skill. Are your sure it's your rim and tire set up?

Thinking of KWV3, bro? For spirited driving, H&R really doesn't do good on cornering. Sometimes I wanna push hard on curved roads like Eastern Barbour tunnel exit, car tilts like Pisa Tower. Definitely needs to upgrade for better cornering.

Can you get the refund? Still waiting? When? Need to bust them, I did. Tell WK no more referral for their bad service. Just lie to them 10 cars are waiting to see how yours goes.

Parking and driving skill the same. Still hit the curb once in a long while. But no scratch

Another thing is the F14's lip sticks out a bit. Easy to scrape.

no
the nut should not fall off.
It was the Chassis top were the 3 bolts hold the shocks that cracks.
next time you can see keiths car next time we meetup for blow water after work, he has a very very small crack and then he added a towerbar to stop it from cracking even more.

WK finally called. Bumper is here. Installing next week. At long last!

In his exclusive parking space of course. Plenty of other exciting actions going on too.
