ACS Lower Spring
HRE S101 21” and Michelin PSS
RKP CF Front Lip

car looks beautiful! Wow what a difference between the previous HRE's and these!!!!

MJones3 · 07-01-2013, 03:15 AM

You have got very, very, very good taste my friend. And you know how to point a camera as well!

I nearly had a crisis when I saw that first picture..

remmib · 07-01-2013, 06:19 AM

Looks awesome.

What's the finish on the new HRE's?

More pics of the interior CF trim please.

Nate@IND · 07-01-2013, 08:01 AM

Super clean!

ColdList · 07-01-2013, 09:56 AM

LOVE the clean, subtle look. Very nice job.

bm5bullit · 07-01-2013, 10:07 AM

Car looks absolutely beautiful and the wheels seem to be the new "must have" wheel for the F10 M. Congrats, by the way, pm on the price of the "old wheels".

RPiM5 · 07-01-2013, 10:15 AM

Might I reccomend the RPi GTM system for you sir.

M54ccibo · 07-01-2013, 10:52 AM

Well done sir! AW FTW!

If I remember correctly, the name of the color is gloss charcoal with polish lip.

The inner barrel is also painted in gloss charcoal.

Here is the link of my previous post with more CF trim images.

That's a very good compliment. Thank you

mwlmd · 07-01-2013, 11:36 AM

Any chance you have a pic of your car when it was on H&R so we can see the difference between the H&R and ACS on the same car with same wheels? Thanks. Looks great BTW!

nugent · 07-01-2013, 11:57 AM

looking good, steve. except that front diffuser

looks like rancho san antonio?

RPiM5 · 07-01-2013, 11:59 AM

Can you comment on the ride quality and handling of the ACS Springs compared to the H&R's? Also how much were the ACS Springs? Thanks bro, car looks sick!

sleek-sam · 07-01-2013, 01:14 PM

Awesome pics. I don't think you should have done the carbon diffuser. It now makes the car look like it needs a carbon spoiler. Lol

Not sure the name of the place. It is near foothill expressway in Cupertino.

The ACS rides better than H&R.
Less bouncy comparing to H&R on the road. Handling is pretty good and is better during cornering since the car is less jumpy. It is a lot more pricy than H&R though. Around $600 for a set.

Hope these will help:

Top is with H&R

ACS

mwlmd · 07-01-2013, 02:10 PM

PERFECT comparison! Thanks.

Just being honest. And your welcome.

ColdList · 07-01-2013, 03:49 PM

Looks like H&R does a better job on that gap in the front than the ACS. H&R lowers more in the front than the rear. I truly notice no bounce on H&R. Nice wheels btw! :-) We have very similar tastes it seems. I just ordered the RKP rear diffuser (mine will be 1x1 though) and the Vorsteiner front lip! Even tried to do a roof spoiler until ACS canceled their US distribution contact with their supplier. Still on the fence since I had the roof painted black. I sort of like the lines with the way it blends with the rear window now. Ah...the decisions we have to struggle with! I joke but all of us who mod these suckers know that we actually DO lose sleep over this stuff!

LOVE your car.
