Eibach Springs - Advice and Options

somer · 09-29-2023, 08:30 AM

Little surprised the rear is that high, looks almost higher than stock? Supposed to be 10mm lower on the eibachs i believe.

No not yet but I will take in soon. I think it's the way the picture was taken.

I'll be curious to see the report when you do get it aligned. I saw a few pics of your car (which looks great btw), but they all look like it has a slight positive camber up front. I could be wrong 🤷🏻

The car drives great and I did have it aligned differently than bmw specs to save tires. My friend who works for bmw did the alignment.

Did Eibach come out with their US spec full spring kit for the xDrive yet?

I bought the Euro Eibach's from Schmeidman, they are 20mm lowering all the way around. Very happy with mine no adverse effect on ride quality and just the right amount of drop all around. Had it sitting to an OEM ride height couldn't believe the difference. Mine looked so much more stanced.

100% second this. Bought from tuner shop (Ignac is guy on email/customer support).

Part number: E10-20-049-01-22

I am not a crazy/super low camber/bent rear axle look - I drive on street and would not* want my M4 any lower.

I have a M3 and it didn't lower it much in rear. The ride quality is great though.

Yes on the G80 it’s only 5-10mm I believe for the rear. G82 it should be 20mm.

What springs do you recommend to lower the front of the M3 xdrive a bit?

Eibach makes springs for the xDrive.

Mode is a horrible company to deal with.
You may want to avoid ordering from Mode unless you like never knowing if you ever get your product and want a 0% success rate of getting a reply from them.
Ive seen posts on their social media platforms of people stating they should maybe actually reply to their customers concerns rather than posting stuff.

Eibach front only kit w/15f,12r spacers. Thought about doing the rears when they released the option but the gap is pretty even now and I wouldn't want to mess with it. Also, not sure if I want to stiffen up the rear considering it rides on 20s...

I have the full set on my M3 and I'm happy with how the car handles. I also have 20's all around with the regular PS4's and I still drive the same route and can't tell the difference. Now just to be clear, I don't drive the car to its limit but I put it through its pace. I was concerned about switching to 20's on the front but with Eibach springs, there is not a considerable difference from the 19 inch that makes me regret switching.

Looks great. Where did you get the front only kit?

That's good to know. Eibachs def seem to be the most daily drivable spring. Even with the MP lip I can pull into most driveways without scraping.
