I assume he is saying that because it is less of a drop, therefore it will be "easier" on ride quality and shock life. But honestly, Im not worried. and the H&Rs aren't so low anyways! So Eibach would be too high for my liking.

I see no reason why the Eibach will necessarily be softer or harder simply because they are marginally higher when fitted than H&R's. An assumption here me thinks As for shock wear this is a misnoma IMO. A stiffer spring will restrict the wheel from moving so dramatically under bump for example. This means the damper will move LESS not more. The damper settings are not changed unless you change the EDC settings. I see no reason for any changes in shock wear at all with stiffer springs. |

I have read a lot of reviews from M5 members with the Eibach Pro-kits. They say they feel no difference at all in ride quality. I had H&R's on a 3-series a few years back. It felt a little bouncy at times. I see why you like the H&R's, by looking at your screen name. |

The ride of the H&R's with 18's is much better than a stock e46M3 on 19's. I know I had one and my friend still have a sub 30k miler we compared and debated the suspension between the two cars yesterday ! My point here is don't reject the H&R's on stiffness as they really are not too stiff for the E92 and IMO work extremely well |

Great info. If I purchase the EDC-equipped sedan this week, I'll be considering the H&R or Eibach springs. What's the difference in cost?

... on the issue of spacers...wouldn't that risk rubbing on hard cornering? Are you adding spacers for looks? Performance or both? I had H&R Springs on my IS and considered spacers but it seemed that the wheels might rub the way I would push the car on cornering. I'm considering the H&Rs on the M3 as well but I'm not so sure about spacers.

Members have used spacers up to 20mm on the rear and 15mm on the front without any issues of rubbing.

Well I decide, I am going to go with the HR's. Thanx for all the advice. If the shocks blow, I get new one and go back to stock. But for now I am going low.

So any discussion of spacers need to include also the ET of the wheel in question or the particular spacer size chosen could be the wrong one. |
