Wambulance.... Check out post #21-29 in this thread, good info. there from when I was lowering the car.

Let me know if you need anything. I researched a lot of springs (even buying different sets) before I made a decision.

This thread was very helpful. I don't about RSR but Swift is very popular with BMW M3/4 crowd. I had Swift springs installed with 20mm F/R spacers (H&R) this past weekend.

Clean!!! Just about the right stance. What are your wheel specs? I plan to go 19s as well.

Thanks! What's the wheel gap and any rubbing?

Here are the pictures.

Notes: No rubbing at all. I should have went 25mm spacers up front as there was some space left.

I own a 2015 F-sport and I am considering making some mods. I wanted to run the Vossen VSF2 wheels. Front 20x9 w/ 245/30R20 Rear 20x10 w/275/30R20. I've seen the white IS on this thread running the Vossen 19s w/ Swifts ( looks sweet). My intentions was to run the Swifts with the wheel/tire combo I mentioned. Am I asking for too many issues and keep it a daily driver? I need some schooling, thx!

Thank you, I was thinking about the high possibility of needing some fender work.

Your build looks great and thanks for sharing.

Why not go with what some of the other guys that have Vossens use. 225-30 and 255-30 and they don't rub.

I think that is a good idea. I am mulling it over.

Thanks.

BTW, your car looks great.

I finally got time to get it aligned since I installed months ago lol. Here are my specs and no camber kit.

I was actually surprised how good it was after the spring install without alignment.

That's almost identical to what mine looked like with Down springs. I was surprised that 2.1 degree camber was till in spec. The amount of rear tire camber is pretty visible when looking at it from the front or rear.
