Beautiful!!! Hey your car is obviously lowered, what did you go with H&R? Do you have wheel spacers? Looks perfect

Appreciate the compliments man. I have 10mm spacers all around and H&R springs. I actually put the spacers in before the springs because I was on the fence about them, but with the spacers in and stock height the front tires protruded about 2mm too far out and my cars stance looked like that of an old muscle car. Then I was left with two choices either remove the spacers or lower the car (which in turn would cause the wheels to camber in a bit, especially the front). Once lowered the wheels were spaced perfectly to my liking and the cars stance looks great. The ride quality suffered a bit though, but nothing unbearable, still better than my Gallardo. I'm waiting for KW's HAS kit to become available for the F12/F13 M6 so that someone can try it out and let me know if ride quality is better than on H&Rs, if it is I may swap mine for those but I'm definitely not going back to stock height again.

It looks great!! Wonder how it looks lowered and no spacers? I had heard some peeps having trouble with wheel vibration with the spacer, you experience that?

My guess would be that, if dropped, the wheels would fall to deep into the wells without the spacers. I've heard that the Macht Schnell spacers tend to cause vibrations on the 2013s which do not have the updated control arms for the suspension, but it's mostly cause they intensify the vibrations that are already there, mainly because the Macht don't feature the beveled face to match the bevel found inside the stock wheels, their face is completely flat, and for that reason they don't fit completely flush with the stock wheels making the vibrations already present in the suspension all the more noticeable. The H&Rs have the bevel so I've heard they don't amplify the vibrations on MY13 cars. My car has the Comp Pack so I don't have the issues with the vibrations to begin with, but just to be safe I went with H&R Spacers rather than Macht cause I do have the stock wheels and want to make sure the bevel is filled correctly, and so far no vibrations or such issues to report.

I have the F12 M6 vert in Sakhir Orange with Silverstone and I totally agree, folks love the color and love to take pictures. Only problem I have is keeping the Silverstone clean and just about every kid wants to race. Good luck with your selection.

I saw you at the Walgreens. Your M6 looks sick nicely modded.

Thank you man. I appreciate it. M Performance Exhaust is up next. Should be on within the next couple of weeks. Very excited for that.
