MSS Suspension - No compromise choice.

Finding the Ideal Balance Between Comfort and Performance

For drivers seeking an enhanced driving experience without sacrificing ride quality, MSS (Modular Suspension Solutions) offers an intriguing solution. Their adjustable suspension kits promise to bridge the gap between comfort and performance, a claim we recently put to the test.

The Technology: Understanding Triple Rate Springs

The core of MSS's approach lies in their Triple Rate Spring Technology. This design incorporates three distinct spring rates within a single unit, offering a progressive response to road conditions:

• Initial Rate: A soft initial rate absorbs imperfections for improved grip and comfort.
• Secondary Rate: A stiffer secondary rate engages during cornering, enhancing handling and control.
• Final Rate: The stiffest rate activates under extreme loads (hard acceleration, braking, evasive maneuvers) to maintain composure and maximize tire contact.

Front and Rear Specific Design

• Front Suspension: Focuses on ride quality and front-end stability, offering adjustable lowering drop of 45mm.
• Rear Suspension: A heavy-duty single-rate spring prioritizes performance, working in conjunction with rear shocks for stability in various driving scenarios.

Key Advantages

• Customisation: Fine-tune ride height to your preference, even returning to stock height if necessary.
• Uncompromised Comfort: Delivers a smoother ride than many traditional lowering solutions.
• High-Speed Stability: The system excels at high speeds, inspiring confidence.
• Retains Factory Feel: Integrates seamlessly, maintaining the car's original character.

Jack’s thoughts:

'The ride has been transformed since moving to the MSS Hybrid system. It’s one of those things that you think you wouldn’t notice, buts genuinely night and day. The ride is much more supple around town, it’s also a lot better at riding undulations in the road at high speed. You’d think that would compromise corner turn in and general agility, but it’s a much more agile car under load. The G87 M2 remains totally flat and balanced around corners, then with a more stable back end you can get power down without traction issues. No more wheel hop or judder when exiting corners. So with the MSS you have a car that is more comfortable, and more capable. It’s an excellent upgrade. This has been the best suspension for BMW G87 M2 I've tried so far.'

Conclusion

If you desire a lowered stance and improved handling without overly compromising ride quality, MSS presents a compelling option as being the best suspension for BMW G87 M2 for fast road set up. Their technology and engineering suggest a strong focus on balancing performance and everyday usability. While a premium investment, the lifetime warranty of MSS lowering springs adds peace of mind for G87 M2 owners.

All Kits Compared (inc OEM)

Lowering springs vs coilovers for BMW G87 M2?

The benefit of using lowering spring solutions over coilover suspension is being able to retain the factory OEM adaptive M suspension which is so valuable for road conditions similar to those here in the UK.

Choosing between lowering springs and coilovers as the best suspension for BMW G87 M2 comes down to your individual goals and needs.

Lowering Springs

• Maintains Factory Adaptive Suspension: Retaining the OEM adaptive M suspension preserves the system's ability to adjust to varying road conditions for optimum comfort and performance.
• Cost-Effective Upgrade: Ideal for drivers wanting a visual enhancement (lowered stance) and mild handling improvements without breaking the bank.
• Ease of Installation: Less complex than a full coilover swap, making them more accessible for DIY or straightforward for a professional mechanic.
• Limitations: Ride height is fixed (or minimally adjustable in some kits), and may not be as customisable for track-focused setups.

Coilovers

• Maximum Adjustability: Fine-tune ride height, damper rebound, and compression for the ultimate control over suspension setup.
• Track-Oriented Performance: Suited for experts seeking to dial in their M2 precisely for track days and highly competitive driving.
• Higher Cost: Quality coilovers are a significant investment compared to lowering springs.
• Potential Ride Quality Compromise: Stiff track-focused setups can sacrifice daily driving comfort on rougher roads.

Who Should Choose Which?

• Lowering Springs: Best for drivers wanting a lowered stance, moderate handling improvements, and to preserve the adaptive M suspension. Ideal for street driving, especially in areas with varying road conditions.
• Coilovers: Target skilled drivers who prioritize track performance and want complete customization over their suspension setup.

G87 M2 enthusiasts have discussed this topics over at Bimmerpost in great length and judging by the poll height adjustable springs came out on top at a whopping 64% vote, followed by 19% voted for lowering springs and lastly coilovers at 17% as being the best suspension for BMW G87 M2.

 

Will lowering springs void my warranty?

Generally speaking lowering springs do not cause warranty issues in of themselves, however by lowering the car you are putting the damper and suspension system through increased load and wear. So this is worth considering before modifying your car - if you are unsure about what affects your warranty we recommend contacting your dealer or finance company before going ahead.
