How to lower a car that has Adaptive Suspension?
I want to lower my car +-3cm, just enough to cover the wheel gap...
What are my options?

I would definitely suggest the KW Sleeve kit so you can lower the vehicle but also keep the adaptive suspension!

I feel that my rear height on my new F80 is perfect, but the front could come down like 1.25".

You don't need to keep the stock springs on to be able to keep the Adaptive Suspension.

Just lowering the front will alter the rake and potentially alter the handling balance of the vehicle so don't deviate too much. |

Right. I think I'll start with the H&Rs and see how far the rear drops...

It's happening on Tuesday. The shop is gonna send me a pic after installing the fronts only, to satisfy my curiosity, then move on and install the rears.

Finished today. Just about perfect height, but I wish it wasn't quite so low in the rear (the springs did settle a bit after the pic was taken.) But, I'm sure I'll get used to it. The ride is pretty amazing, maybe a hair better than factory. Not harsh AT ALL. Installed by: Imola Motorsports, Plymouth, MN. Nice shop.
