For me the front only Eibach springs were the last thing to try before going back to stock.

I purchased Eibach after reading your post and others on forums.

So your back in stock? Or you still on the fronts?

Still on fronts only with no complaints.

I was just saying if the fronts hadn’t worked out I would have just gone back to stock.

I’m glad I was able to help out…I was pretty disgusted with the AST springs and wanted to help others avoid my mistake. I threw those away…wouldn’t even sell them. I bought what were supposed to be the v2 of them as well.

Very happy with Eibach and am super glad that you are too.

So far I’m happy with the Eibach front only too. I was a bit dubious and worried that it may wreck the handling but so far I’m struggling to feel any difference. When I get to the track at the end of the month and If I feel a difference I’ll let you all know but, if I only feel the difference at the track, and it’s not a big difference, then I’ll keep the car the way it is, 95% of my driving is on the road and so far so good with this set up.

Here is the alignment sheet 3 days after spring install

Quite happy with it to be honest. Will check again in a month.

I just the Eibach Fronts and other than the appearance I feel no real difference from the stocks. Super Happy with it so far.

Just home after the track day at knockhill today, was great weather and a great turnout.

I ran the car mostly in 4WD sport mdm on, comfort steering, sport brake, sport +suspension and sport engine.

Having the Eibach springs on the front, I feel, made no difference at all to the handling, it never once felt like the balance was wrong or that the car was diving. Braking was good, steering was accurate and stability was awesome. I ran in 2WD mode traction on 7 for a short while and other than it slipping more there was no noticeable change. Lap times were consistent.

I put a 58 sec dead in on MPS4S which with a full tank and 2 of us i was happy with, the tyres were melting and I couldn’t adjust pressures when warm as I had no pump so just ran with slightly over inflated rubber. I was seeing about 2.9 bar and 60-70degC tyre temp.

Overall, amazing mod well worth it for the money and looks, but I’m not saying I won’t still go KW HAS in the future just to drop her a bit more and have some adjustability.

Are you running spacers? Thanks!

Are you running spacers up front? Wondering if I'll rub without them. Thanks!

Yes 15 front 12 rear.

I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on some springs. I’m pretty happy with the way the rear end sits, would just like to get the front down some without destroying the ride quality. Seems like most here are happy with the eibachs over the h&r. It seems with the Eibach full set, the rear drop is very minimal so trying to see if thats worth the price or not. I just don’t want to regret not going with a full set down the road.

Over the weekend as a test, I swapped the 20" 826m wheel to the front and moved the 19" 826m wheel to the rear to see how the front would look with my Eibach front only drop.
Since the Wheel/Tire dimensions kind of offset each other, it is a very minimal difference and doesn't really make the gap/car look much difference, but from a full side view I suspect would look more symmetrical which is appealing.

19":


20":

I feel that doing only the Eibach front is sufficient, as it creates the same gap evenly in the front and rear (~2 fingers)

Thanks for sharing! The specs line up pretty close; nice to see it fitted on the front. If you ever go squared, or if others have w/ Eibachs, please share again.

Appreciate it, I just placed my order for the fronts.
