What's the ride quality like for commuting? My E90M3 is my daily driver (unless the weather sucks). I do track my cars, so the spring rate is mostly for enhanced track performance. I do like the stance too though (I'm old, but not *that* old).
For a reference point, the E46M3 in the garage has Ohlins and Eibach Pro Kit on it and that ride is fine. Thanks!

Any updates? Looking for overall comparison against stock ZCP suspension. DD and track duties alike. Thanks!
[QUOTE=SROC5;14382010]Here's mine installed for photo reference, heading to the track soon and will write up some impressions of them coming from Stock ZCP springs.

I just installed them this past weekend. Having read over a solid DIY guide, having all the tools ready and help from a buddy it took 2 hours. I could now do it myself in umder 2 hours if i had to do it again.
LOVE the springs by the way! |

You almost have to install these yourself, otherwise the installation costs will make this a $1000 mod. I think shops around me wanted like $500-600 bucks to install them. If you're not mechanically inclined, find a friend or forum member close by try to get some help. Really the only tricky/dangerous part is getting the front OEM springs off. After you do it once and see all the steps and in which order you need to do them in, you'll see it's actually a pretty easy job.

These aren't typically installed with the Swift as the Swift didn't need them. They were popular with the H&R and Eibach springs because of the combination of excessive lowering and progressive nature of the springs which often lead to bottoming.
We are including these at no additional charge since most people are ordering this option anyway. |

Anyone installed these springs on a E93?
I'm just looking to improve the stance more than anything else. Any issues with the EDC? I have no issues with the firmer ride. I was also thinking to go the Sleeve kit option as it will offer a slightly more lowering option. Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks.

You could use the fronts only, but the rears will make the car too low. |
