I just pulled the trigger on the Superpro kit, probably won't have any feedback on it until late spring.

I abandoned my cart on superprousa.com last night after debating pulling the trigger, they sent me a 10% off promo code this morning. That sort of pushed me over the edge and makes the kit pretty competitive. SP10 if anyone wants to use the promo code. Kit was $569 USD before shipping, which I believe is close on price with the Lemforder set of roughly $500USD.

Here is Vic's Ebay UK Store. Spacer-Palooza.

If I get the correct F8X TS spacers for my F3X 335i I will post up something after the install by May 2021. I think total spacer length of 19mm is too big...so I will shoot for 18-18.5 mm. I will buy a few matching sets in steel and aluminum, plus the Keyser set from Summit.


Cheers

Great thread! Was able to pick up Delphi versions of the control arms from Rock Auto for $310. Added spacers from Summit Racing.
End result was just under -2 camber, a big improvement for the track.
Thanks guys!

Hello guys,

I got my 19x8 ET40 wheels ( i'm with LCA +TS and stock spring ).

Sould i install MPS4S 225/35 or 235/35 ?

If 235/35, should i install 5mm spacers ?

MPS4S have very large shoulders. I just compared 265/30 Pirelli P Zero Corsa and 255/30 MPS4S and the MPS4S are 1 centimeter larger !
Thank you

I have 19x8 ET45 with MPS4S 235/35 with LCAs up front. (Rear 19x9 ET40 with 255/30.)

You won't need a spacer.

I am getting a slight touch on the front inner guard when at mid lock. I had MPSC2s last year, no rubbing. The 4Ss are pretty beefy.

About to get new PS All Season 4 and wondering if I should get 235/40 in the front or 235/35 (Currently 225/40 with no issues). Rear I'm getting 255/35 (current).

Planning on getting the powerflex bushings and the LCA/TS.

Any guidance? Stock suspension.

Front: 18x8.5 ET 40
Rear: 18x9.5 ET35

So I have Dinan springs, 235/40 18x8.5 et45 + 3mm spacer VMR front wheels and conti Extremecontact tires.

I have LCA's sitting in my garage and want to buy TS to add and install together but everything I'm reading here is suggesting my fitment is hopeless.

Anybody have this same setup? How can I make it work? Can I make it work?

I thought the TS would correct the caster. I was running 18x8.5 et38 with 245/40 with camber plates fine before the M4 LCA + TS. I am now rubbing the bumper with my fitment.

I'm having the same issue. What did you do to correct this?

Did you find any noticeable different in feel or drive after switching the bushing?

I currently have stock F32 arms with Millway monoball bushings installed, however I'd really like to get the extra camber so F80 arms are looking more and more promising.

Just curious if the caster adjustment bushings ride any harsher or loose the improvement of the oem spherical ball joint f80 bushing.

Caster is going to definitely need fixing in my case as I run 235/35 on 8.5 20" ET30. I believe without them I would have major rubbing?

It's a monoball, so it is "better" than the OEM F8x bushings. It just adds a bunch of NVH

Ah apologies I've just taken a look.

The caster correction bushings I had previously seen were all solid rubber.
