Enjoy.

Nice...How much harsher would you say the ride is after the Eibachs? Do you feel the car handles a bit betteR?

10M3MAN · 12-05-2010, 01:20 AM

It Definatly handles better (keep in mind i put the wheel spacers on as well) and the ride is slightly firmer and harsher but its hardly noticeable.

I think its a big improvement from standard!!

Thanks! so would you say the ride feels like Normal setting on the EDC or closer to sport?

andrew270681 · 12-05-2010, 02:35 AM

probably in between when its on normal.

flipmeraz · 12-05-2010, 03:12 AM

Have you noticed any rubbing?

andrew270681 · 12-05-2010, 03:30 AM

No rubbing at all.

I didnt chop or change the bumpstops either.

Im going to do a wheel alignment when i get a chance but for now the car drives really well!

When i save up some cash im going to buy a set of 20'' BBS LM's or LM-R rims. I dont know which wheels but im leaning more towards the LM-R

Maseroche · 12-05-2010, 03:51 AM

Very nice stance!

emthreeboy · 12-05-2010, 06:16 AM

That looks nice, i like it!

I dont mean to be a thread jacker but Im running eibachs and 15mm in the front and 12mm in the rear and the line through the michelin name is the rubbing im seeing (due to a pea sized nub of metal on the inside of the wheel well that the tire hits when going over larger bumps).

montreal red · 12-05-2010, 10:32 AM

what exhaust do u have ? looks awfully similar to my bastuck.

J08M3 · 12-05-2010, 10:49 AM

I'm running Eibach's with 10mm all around and there is zero rubbing

If yours does that then mine would as well. Im just going to take it easy over bumps. Thanks for the heads up.!

Part of the deal was when i bought my car from the stealership was that i was going to get my next scheduled service for free and they were going to either repair the holes or put a euro plat on it at their expense.
I was going to get it done when the service is due but im trying to find time to do it before that!
