F23 suspension options

So my dad took delivery of a F23 m235 today but I want to get shorter springs with higher spring rate for obvious reasons. I called h&r and they won't have anything for months. I have bmw checking if the coupe and convertible have the same part number for springs , which I highly doubt.

Has anyone come across suspension that will work for the F23?

Thanks guys

I've done some more research and...nothing. Waiting on word if I can be the first set from H&R. Will update this for the convertible owners.

Okay so H&R has confirmed its the same part number. They are now selling the same H&R sports for both couple and convertible. They only tested on stock wheel and tire pkg so u with aggressive rear setup may be in for some surprise rubbing on dips.

ANY F23s dropped on these? How does the rear feel? What tire and wheel specs on you on?

also how much negative camber are you getting on stock F23 arms?

thanks all

No one has experimented with maxing out the stock arms? If -1.5 is possible the H&R Sports should work with the aggressive rear specs.
