The spring binds as you turn the wheel. Instead of the spring turning freely as you turn your wheels the spring gets caught for a second then 'springs' round suddenly as the tension forces it to. Creates a knocking sound as you turn at slow speeds (or stationary once it's bad enough) as it gets worse and it binds for longer the intermittent knocking / clunking turns into more of a loud springy ping sound.
That's the best (maybe worst) explanation I've got so hopefully that helps |

I did the front first to see if that would look ok by itself, but the rear was way too high in comparison. So I followed it up immediately doing the rears as well. It is pretty much exactly what I was looking for. The rear could be another 3 mm lower to exactly match the front. It rides amazingly well, just a touch firmer than stock, feels quite planted and still quite a nice range of suspension travel. It is quite mild compared to some of the other kits, but it was exactly what I was looking for. It also happens to match the ideal track handling height as prescribed by the M performance HAS. One last thought, I'm not sure how the stock height varies between G80/G82 and x-drive vs non, but doing front-only on a G82 x-drive looked really raked, in not a good way. I'm glad I had both fronts and rears just in case, because the rears are definitely necessary. I can post some images later.

I have RWD, but my hunch is the "front only" springs may be too much rake for the RWD as well. But I'll give it a shot, as I'll them install the fronts first. I look forward to seeing your pix. |

3rd and 4th pic is all I need. That drop looks perfect to me, that's exactly what I want. Very subtle, with the forward rake. If the stock ride quality is all but maintained, even better.
In the front-only pic, yes, I can't tell that the rake is too much. But no worries. I'll just install them at all 4 corners. Many thanks! |

Just FYI, the G82/83 have more wheel gap in the back stock than the G80. The G80 kit is front only. Eibach does not prescribe rear springs for the G80.

Went hunting for the front only 20mm / E10-20-049-01-20 for my G80.. Found a site with a 'spring sale' right now listing them for $149. $220 shipped to me in AZ.
https://www.mlperformanceusa.com/search?q=E10-20-049 Also on sale is the all corner G80/E10-20-049-06-22 and G82/E10-20-049-01-22. Seems like a steal currently. |
