So far none....Im 200lbs.
Yup, just meant to be an exhaustive list of issues I'm aware of. Not trying to tell someone what will happen, just a set of issues to seed someone's research.

Modifying a car always brings risks and you should only be partaking if you understand them. Go look on CL for a used car, it will be immediately clear whether someone's modified car is reasonable to buy

On a side note the last time I came up to see EAS we where unable to complete a coding session due to the EAS software being unable to communicate with my car. Needless to say the software issue was remedied and the car was fully coded at no cost. Thanks again Rob, Tom and the rest of the crew at EAS!
Glad everything was to your satisfaction, just need to get some miles on it now.

Love how well the black lip works with the Alpine White. The stance is right on target too!

As far as I know there is only 2 sets of F22 springs by H&R; 228i Sport springs and M235i Sport springs.

In regards to warranty, it is 100% dependent on your dealer. The springs themselves though shouldn't cause any issues.

what a beautiful setup! Everything just looks so simple and balanced. love the overall look. I am actually interested in doing the trunk spoiler and BMW M Performance Front Lip Splitter. If you don't mind me asking, how much was the damage? Both parts and labor... if it wont break the bank I may seriously consider going this road too!

I'd contact user Gil@McKennaPerformance , he has the best prices for any M Performance parts/OEM parts. If you can find it cheaper , he'll price match. Its a great combo although my front splitter is on its last legs of life these days, It's being replaced with all new CF aerodynamics by a new company thats using my car as a test/demo vehicle. Good luck!

Link to how the car sits now.

Typically, spacers that are smaller than 20mm simply slide onto the hub and do not bolt to the hub. These types of spacers (which are the majority of them) do require longer wheel bolts....even 3mm spacers require longer bolts.

IMO there really aren't much for downsides. I've never seen a spacer cause premature failure of a wheel bearing. The most important part about selecting a spacer is measuring to get the correct size so you don't rub the fender. Everyone I know that sells spacers will not allow you to return them once opened.
