Damn is 453 an individual model? Don't think I've seen that on the website.

AC Schnitzer for a classy, stock looking drop that will never scrape.

Keep in mind that AC Schnitzer may give you a reverse rake. This can be cured with additional spacers under the rear springs.
Some users report none, in my case I got a reverse rake through the ACS. Haven't decided yet how much it bothers me, but it is visible. According to ACS - "within tollerance". Apart from that - ACS are recommendable is you care about warranty and customer support. If you want cheap - you can get cheap (e.g. Eibach). P.s. Why not read through or post in the correct subforum? https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/fo...460&order=desc

What is not recommendable (the reverse rake or the extra spacers?) and from what perspective?

Interesting comments about the reverse rake with ACS. Ive only heard of that with the DINAN kit when talking about the F30 specifically.
I do not believe I had experienced reverse rake with Bilstein B8 dampers (and ACS spring kit). |

Seems to depend on the kit and model of the vehicle. Many have reported no reverse rake,
plenty have reverse rake. I have 15-17mm difference in height front and back when measured to the wheel arch. This said, the clearance under the vehicle is not that different front and back.

Why don't you measure the distance from the centre of the wheel (the centre of the centre cap) vertically up to the wheel arch? Front and back, on all 4 wheels.

Waaaaay too vague of a question!
What is the result you want to accomplish? What is YOUR specific goal? Are you tracking the car? Do you want a stiffer ride? Do you have adaptive suspension? Do you want the lowering look but similar ride? I installed Eibach Pro-Kit on my xDrive, I wanted the stock height of the Sport RWD (704 springs) from my AWD and to have the excessive xDrive wheel gap closed. I did not want to change the stiffness of the ride as I have Adaptive suspension which provides the stiffness in Sport mode.

Could you provide a link to the comparison you are referring to?

Back in the day the last 2 numbers was the liter output. So a 453 would be a F32 with a 5.3L V8
ETA: How low is the front lip with the H&R SS? I am at 65K miles and looking at coilovers or new shocks and the H&Rs soon. |

Hey my bad guys on the 453 😂😂 it's 435 obviously. But I posted in this group before looking and seeing the sub group. Noob mistake lol. But anyway thanks for all of the recommendations. My goal is really just for looks and better handling. Would the eibach pro be good for that, or what's all your top picks for appearance and handling?
