I've got BLOX 15/20mm spacers on now - pic below. It looks WAY better with the spacers, but the fender gap is still just atrocious.
Can't wait to get the Eibachs on ... it will so much better.

Does anyone have any experience of the KW ST Sport Springs?

Not sure if they are EU market only.

Good on you for DIY install. It's really not that difficult. Just pay close attention to the orientation of everything, especially when you take the front strut assembly apart.
Staggered 20s look great but more detrimental than the range hit is the increased potential to bend a wheel. I agree on the stock wheels - they really suit the car - but I transferred my stock 19s to snow duty since they are actually a bit on the heavy side. Just make sure that whatever wheels you eventually get, don't get anything heavier than stock. At minimum keep it the same weight or ideally lighter but light = dollar signs. T-Sp[ortline does have some nice looking wheels but some of them are quite heavy as well.

I've got a set of Eibach incoming and will start a thread after install.

I finally got the AWD/P Eibach Spring kit item #: E10-87-001-02-22 ~1" all the way around.
IMO its about right it takes away that excessive gap and your car is still functional. The car is noticeably stiffer and there is more road noise. Camber on the rear increased ~ -0.07 and ~-0.05 on the front.
Its raining so i haven't done any high speed cornering but i'm hoping it wont be quite as floaty.

Installed Eibach this weekend. As mentioned, the excessive wheel gap is now reduced.

Now THAT drop looks good. Can't tell but it looks pretty even (very Porsche-esque). Any more info? I had H&R's on my Audi's years ago. How are you liking it? Any profile images you can share of the car?
I had H&R springs on an my Audi RS4 and RS5 and was pleased with both drops and ride quality. For the M3P it was an easy choice for me.
BTW if anyone is looking, I have an extra set of unused H&R springs and spacers for M3P ...PM me if interested. I mistakenly ordered two sets.

The street is actually slanted up hill a few degrees so i think it gives the appearance of a slight reverse rake in the previous picture posted.
When measured ground to fender lip the front is 26 7/8 The rear is 27". IF you measure from the ground to the bottom of the "painted" rocker the front is 5 1/4" and the rear is 5 1/2". There is a blk "splash guard" on the rear rocker panel that is lower but is not really visible which is actually lower.
Lowered - i'm bad at taking pictures and dont take a lot
