OK, How about this. Archives indicate a .75" rake is stock E28, don't know if that applies to M5 as well but probably does. So difference in height from front to back, as measured immediately behind front wheel and immediately in front of rear wheel, ground to body is 3/4", in other words the rear measurement should be 3/4" higher than front. Mine measured 7 3/8" and 7 1/2", or basically flat. So I am going to move my spring perch up 1 or 2 notches in the rear if I can, to make about 1/2 - 3/4" difference. Apparently each notch raises car by 3/8". Anyone else want to post their rake measurements?


I'll try this another way - my M5 measures 14" from wheel center to wheel arch in the front, and 11 3/4" in the back (full tank, no occupants). I'm interested how this compares to stock - anyone who wants to take a measurement on their car, it would be much appreciated - please list if you have any mods. Thanks!
