I’ve seen the lift people get with b8’s in addition to farkles observations I think the f30 springs have a lot of preload with b8s. I remember having to compress them (h&r sports) quite a bit Just on the stock struts. With the shorter b8s it would be even more. With these EMD springs i can start threading without compression. When the new bearings come in it should be about as much preload as I’ve experienced in my coilover setups

Here is what the F80 ED springs look like on a 328 xdrive
