Anybody running ACS springs?

Hey Folks.
I have ordered my ACS springs recently and probably I am going to receive it tomorrow or early next week.
Before I ordered mine, I have done some homework, but nothing about 6 series.
All the information I read were all about 5 series guys, and most of them are satisfy with the springs.
Just wanna get some real world information from you guys, is anybody here running ACS springs on their car?
How is the ride quality and the performance improvements?

Thanks

A thread I was following people were real happy with them. They don't lower the car real low so the ride is supposed to be close to stock and really comfortable.

Yes I heard they do not really drop the ride height a lot. According to Andreas from ACS USA, the spring kit will just drop car around 20-30mm at front and 10-20mm at rear.
I do like this kind of drop, because I will put Hamman front lip spoiler, too aggressive drop will damage my lip spoiler very easily.
The thing I am interested in is how much handling will be improved?

Thanks alot.

hopefully someone can chime in on the handling, but yes these are the best springs for you seeing as you have snow, plus a lip is on the way.

Thanks. Going to receive springs tomorrow.
But for the lip, it's a long time to wait. Ordered from Germany, probably iy gonna take three weeks from Germany to U.S. and then transfer to Ontario Canada

Yes... I heard ACS use Eibach to make their springs, but all data and specificians are done by themself. That's why some folks used both and felt differences.

Keep the m6 and buy the m4 would be a better route.

If I were keeping both and wanted that much money out there on cars, honestly I'd be buying ONE 991 Turbo...
