Taking what they learned from the popular F80 springs, the goal was to lower the S58 car a tasteful amount while keeping ride quality at or better than stock. Multiple prototypes and owner feedback went into the final rates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe springs are engineered around the factory dampers and are fully compatible with both standard and adaptive suspension. Each one is made in the USA from high tensile chrome silicon to EMD's own rates and geometries, shot peened, pre-set and 100 percent tested, then powder coated in stealth black for an OEM appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFront Lowering:\u003c\/em\u003e 1.4\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRear Lowering:\u003c\/em\u003e 0.7\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eStock Front Rate:\u003c\/em\u003e 186 lb.\/in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEMD Auto Front Rate:\u003c\/em\u003e 194 lb.\/in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eStock Rear Rate:\u003c\/em\u003e 608 lb.\/in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEMD Auto Rear Rate:\u003c\/em\u003e 645 lb.\/in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAre these springs compatible with adaptive ride control?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

Spring heights stay within the travel range of the factory shocks and struts to ensure longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWill there be any added noise?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The linear design has no dead coils, so there is no added noise over a stock spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eI received plastic spacers with my springs. What are these for?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese machined ABS spacers are included with the M3 springs and give you some adjustability in how the body line sits. Install without them for a factory body line, or with them for a forward rake and an even tire to fender gap. The G80 sits roughly an inch lower in the rear from the factory, so leaving the spacers out keeps that look. The spacers install on top of the metal upper spring perch, between the perch and the body. If the perch stays in the body when you pull the spring, tap it with a rubber mallet to free it, then seat the spacer on top using the nub to center it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFITMENT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- G80 M3\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Horizon Motorsport","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67894064578787,"sku":"sku-47491206480172","price":349.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/7345\/3027\/files\/32022968612_bbdfb444a3_k_large_large_a54427f4-3ab6-4f04-b6a6-d19bba7a0c95.webp?v=1793628386","url":"https:\/\/bavautoparts.com\/products\/emmanuele-design-emd-lowering-spring-kit-g80-m3","provider":"Bavarian Auto Parts LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
