TECH RESOURCES
Additional Parts Required
- Four-wheel alignment — mandatory. Camber, caster and toe change with ride height; book a full alignment (and corner-balance for track use) immediately after installation.
- Cars with optional Adaptive M suspension: the factory adaptive damper connections must be electronically cancelled to prevent damper fault warnings.
Installation
- AST Install & Setup guide (ast-suspension.com) — the manufacturer's installation and setup procedure: kit verification, spring preload, clearance checks and handling warnings.
- AST Torque Specifications (ast-suspension.com) — manufacturer torque values plus thread preparation and threadlocker guidance.
- Speed Logic offers professional installation — contact us to schedule an install.
Notes
- RWD only — the M235i xDrive uses a different AST kit.
- Count the bolts on each front strut tower before ordering. This kit is for 5-bolt towers; cars with 3-bolt towers need a different AST kit — confirm fitment with Speed Logic before ordering.
