My BMW PS kit has no bounce.... and is very controlled. Subframe bushings have nothing to do with bounce.

Nikitino25, I'm responding to this post from you:

"For you guys that just installed the kit, do you have any pics that show the ride height and did it take a while for the front to settle? My front is still higher or at least as high as my old ZSP setup.....i'm trying to post some pics but I can't seem to resize my pics in dropbox..."

Here are a few pics of the BMWPS on my car. Your front looks too high. I can barely get 2 fingers up front. It was pretty much like this from day of install. Perhaps verify the install up front. From center of wheel cap to fender is ~13.25-13.35 inches.

It looks like yours is slightly lower than mine. I measured right at 14" from center of wheel cap to fender (with tape measure in a straight line). But, I can barely fit two fingers between the gap as well like yours....maybe just a little more than in your pic (two fingers snug going straight in). Me and my buddy did the install so not sure what we could have done wrong. Here's a pic of my car today.....does it look slightly high in front or not? (kind of crappy pic but u get the idea). I can only fit one finger in the gap between rear tire and fender so the rear gap is definitely less. Is your gap smaller in the rear as well? I have 18" wheels by the way with Michelin PSS tires, are your wheels 18" also? I know I'm not supposed to be driving in cold weather on summer tires but the PSS are grippier than I thought they would be, it was 32 deg today....

Hi. I have 18" OE wheels and PSS tires as well. I measured pretty much 13.25-13.35" on all 4 corners. It's hard to tell from the pic if high or not. But based on other past posts, others reported under 13.5" from center cap to fender as well. So yours may be .5"-.75" high if you are measuring 14".

nikitino: based on your most recent photo, your ride height looks right.

I'd say it's pretty close. And thanks for the pics solishe, although I had to do a handstand to look at them....

No problem. That's bizarre the pics had shown correctly for me both on the app and the website (on my phone). I saw the issue on a computer. I have fixed them....
