    Tommy, I've always noticed that when I've switched to non-OEM suspension or steering components in the past, it changed the feel of my car. But man, your ride looks stellar lowered! You might've just made me reconsider. 🔥

    You made this look easy. I got my fronts done on Sunday but didn't have time for the rears. Thanks for the video it was a big help, getting the assembly out and back in was pure hell. The strut nut kit i got from Amazon had 19mm then skipped to 21mm, but neither fit! i had to use a pipe wrench on a deep socket lmao.

    …I was concerned about putting the MSS (HAS) kit initially as the install for the rear can be involved/invasive (I.e. removal of rear deck, backseats, etc…). After seeing your installation, I think I am comfortable putting the MSS spring kit to my 540i!

      @@540eye…had my MSS HAS kit installed a couple days ago at my local BMW authorized service center. The installation went smoothly especially my vehicle came w/ adaptive drive/suspension system. Overall, I am pleased with the performance (I.e. body roll reduced significantly and no more vehicle squatting at full acceleration), and the ability to maintain the ride comfort and prolong OEM stock struts/dampers. It’s a win…all day, every day!

    Amazing how you consolidated that into 17 minutes, and a drop in filter too!
    Also, how do you like the comfort of the H&R springs? I know the M5s have adjustable suspension which might help soften things when needed but my M340 with H&R springs is too harsh, wish I had done coilovers.

    What an AWESOME video! Now I know why the labor costs on this mod are so high! How long did this actually take you to do from start to finish? I have toyed with doing this on my M550….but have held off as it looks like a ton of work..which you have confirmed! 😀. What does the handling change feel like on your F90? Do you have any worries that this mod will wear out the stock adaptive dampers more quickly??? I know on some cars when you reduce the ride height it puts more strain on the dampers and then they fail more quickly….. on these cars the stock dampers are not cheap and you could be replace them as well. MY m550 has 80k on the car and so I fear my dampers are already nearing the end of their life… rather than do this mod maybe I should just get an F90….. and upgrade EVERYTHING…. Keep up the awesome vids. Wish i lived closer to you - i woudl love to swing by and hang out! You seem like such a cool guy! BTW..you look like you workout..you’ve got some guns.

    • @TommyLGarage
      @TommyLGarage  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1
