Definitely a subtle drop (Eibachs)

M3 Esq · 02-19-2013, 09:48 AM

Nice wheels!

Mmmdreamer · 02-19-2013, 10:29 AM

Thanks for posting OP, I've got a set of APEX 18s on order and plan to do the Eibach drop as well on my e90, so it's great to see what it may look like. Please post pics in a couple weeks to see if it drops further! =)

gatorfast · 02-19-2013, 11:34 AM

Looks really good. Perfect drop IMO.

dmk08 · 02-19-2013, 11:41 AM

Looks nice. This post makes me want to go 18s.

GOLFFRR · 02-19-2013, 11:50 AM

great set up. I ran a set of eibachs on a few of my cars and loved them. def a great spring option.

badazzm · 02-19-2013, 12:13 PM

Looks great man. Perfect drop. After much research, getting the Eibach's myself.

skiborsy · 02-19-2013, 12:17 PM

Failed to mention it in my first post, but I got the springs used so most of the settling should already have happened - this might be it!

Could probably add a spacer in the front, but I'd guess I'd need camber then, too. Back is pretty close.

mthreefan · 02-19-2013, 01:12 PM

great look

AlteredBe4st · 02-19-2013, 01:23 PM

subtle drop indeed, any lower you will have problems with that size tires rubbing. thanks for sharing and you will love the addition of AA exhaust, sound is intoxicating and adds to the M3.

id check with a vendor but i know guys on h&rs have ran 15mm front and 12mm rear, maybe do a square 10mm setup if you are worried about rubbing

looks good!

dj_dub · 02-19-2013, 04:10 PM

Looks good...you can tell it's been slightly lowered from stock. I had SonicMS recently install some KW Sleeve-Overs last week because I have EDC. They did a great job!

Are you saying know people with these exact wheels running those spacers? I think you are talking about OEM wheels... These are not OEM and the offsets and widths differ from OEM wheels. A 15mm spacer on the front of these wheels would look ridiculous. Look at the profile picture in post #29

NYBulldog · 02-19-2013, 09:56 PM

I hope it settles down a bit. Its too close to stock to seem worth its cost (both springs and labor).

Denk · 02-20-2013, 12:10 AM

I like it, looks perfect. Eibachs are subtle but noticeable, nice touch!

I think this is a perfect amount before you start to over-trouble yourself with potholes, and entry in-out of parking lots. Also I find that the front of the car needs a drop much more than the back of the car, which is clearly evident in your mod.

Looks good!

carbon//m3 · 02-21-2013, 08:39 PM

Looking good

Revurhartout · 02-21-2013, 08:49 PM

The subtle drop with eibachs is definitely noticeable... Looks all business and ready for the track! Great job and good choice in springs!!

S65V8 · 02-22-2013, 05:55 AM

Looks great OP! Congrats.

This does convince me that the ZCP drop is similar to Eibachs when coming from Non-ZCP stock.
