MP HAS ride height question, I think mine is low

For those of you that are running the MP HAS, I think mine is a bit low on the rears.

I am going to the dealer for the in-service, next week. I want to know if your car looks similar to mine? The springs should have settled by now, they have 1700km.

I am rubbing on some dips. 12mm spacers and Pirelli.

Thanks.

So when I had the OEM MP HAS installed, I only had them dropped 10mm in the rear and the most you could which I believe is around 20mm or so in the front. I’m running 12MM spacers too.

They are adjustable, so you could have the shop raise them for you if you keep running into rubbing issues. I know some people have them dropped to the lowest and don’t have issues with rubbing & spacers but have Michelins.

Yours definitely looks higher than mine. I will have the dealer adjust them before the alignment. Thanks for posting and the fotos for comparison.

it looks a little low but dont go by photos, there are specs for this. Measure from the lower edge of the wheel to the center point of the wheel arch. of course you can go higher or lower with the adjustments but these are the baseline settings per BMW.

Also as you can see from the specs, if you make it look visually even it is technically not correct as the rear spec is 11mm less gap than the front on the G80 and 9mm more on the G82.

MP HAS kit. Maximum low f/r. 13mm spacers f/r. Pirelli’s. No rubbing, and I drive the local canyons often.

I don't understand, your is the same set up as mine, but I am rubbing. Maybe I need an alignment. The only time I rub is on larger dips on the road.
