I am sure the lighting is still not great but its the damn english weather.

I am sure the car looks like it could lower at least another 10mm and doesnt give a modified look, but i was going for a more oem looking stance which the springs does perfectly. Drives like it did before the springs.

Now needs a midpipe and axle back and i will call it a day.
The drop definitely looks oem so you definitely achieved your goals perfectly. Stunning! Looking forward to future mods.

Will this work on an AWD car in the winter. I also think the car need's to be lower, wondering about snow build up in the wheel wells. Any thoughts? Also, maybe I missed it, who makes this kit?

No rub in full lock reverse. No scrape going over speed bumps or pulling out of the gas station, etc.

Not to say I won't ever have an issue, but many of my concerns were gone in the first 24 hours.

YMMV.
been meaning to ask you what spacers you have on since you SO thread. your car looks amazing. loving the stance!!!

Me? Thanks!! I'm running MS 10/12. Would've gone larger but lost the tire lottery. I'm happy with them regardless. I think the AST drop is phenomenal.

I do have to say, I've lightly scrapped twice over speed bumps, but I've gone over a bunch of others with no issues.

Had to erase company name from the background who did the install. Didn't want this to look like an ad.

Looks great, nice drop! More importantly how does it ride compared to stock?

Any noticeable difference in Comfort or Sport (or Sport+)?

That is very strange that you got that comment.... I picked up my car from eibach on Nov 18 as they were using my G82 comp xdrive... they were not happy with the rear drop ( as they used the EU springs ) they will either offer that kit or will adjust the rear and then offer the kit.

Well my comment was a year old. I'll be interested to be sure what their kit looks like. How did you like it on your car? Any pics?

I just looked on their Instagram, your car looks awesome, assuming it's the matte black M4.

How is the drop on these Eibachs compared to H&R sports? Are the H&R sports a few millimeters lower?

For those of you who got these springs, do these come with new bump stops?

What do you mean 20mm all around? Eibach pro kit is front springs only. Rears stay stock.

No problem. I think the rear looks perfect and the front springs get rid of most of the gap and reverse rake look. It’s a great OEM+ option

I agree. Im going to go this route. Id like to put a lip on the front bumper, and I just dont see how it doesnt get destroyed on a car that dropped more than like 20mm. Stock rear is actually a pretty good height.

Then I can still rip around town and not have to worry about little dips, etc..
