Do the BBS CH require spacers? How much do they weigh?

35 Offset. I don't think they require a spacer for the front with stock suspension, but I there are spacers in the back. Spacers required with the drop. I believe that they are around 27 lbs. for the 19"

It's sooooooooo good to see you have got the best drop with PSS9 by now!
BTW, PSS9 should allow a range of 30-50mm drop adjustable.
What is the setting of your car now?

I'm at 5 all around. Haven't played around with the settings. 5 feels good to me, stiff but not too stiff and definately not harsh. Not bouncy whatsoever.

On my E90, I have set to second most stiff currently and will set it one step softer today. I would still like to know in the range of 30mm-50mm drop, did you set it to max. drop or less drop? Your drop looks perfect to me now. I understand the effect will not be the same for E90.

Today I also got the shop adjusted the PSS9 settings on the E90.
~15cm raised, and shocks soften one step from the previously 2nd highest stiffness setting.

I think it's a 1 inch drop in the front and 1/2 inch drop in the back

The car looks amazing. Not my best choice in wheels but the suspension mated with those wheels make the car look very, very clean. That alone for me is a 2 's up for me.
