How much lower were the Eibachs vs. your stock ZCP set-up? Do you have a comparison pict?

Thanks. I was thinking H&Rs before but I know they bounce and don't ride properly vs. stock. How does the Eibach feel (new and now?) Seems like you've had it for a couple years now.

IMO, the Pro Kit version feel like OEM but lower; I think that it is their design purpose. If you want stiffer/lower then you may want the Racing Dynamics spring set. |

I don't necessarily need stiffer, just a spring that would match perfectly with struts as-is. Have you tracked your car with the Eibachs? How does it respond?

I did track my old E90 M3 twice on Eibachs and it was great for me, extremely planted and responsive. My limiting factor was the tires.

Worst case I go back to OEM and sell the springs.

+1 for Eibach Pro-kit springs. I went with the Eibach's over H&R because of the OEM ride quality. I installed springs over a year ago and have 11 track days so far. The ride quality is the same as OEM springs, with no bouncing or harshness as with some lowering springs. They do not lower as much as H&R, but then trade off is OEM ride quality.

Question, doesn't the car slightly dive in the turns upon hard braking given that it rakes the car forward. My issue with springs as well is the fact they lower the car more in the front than rear to improve the look / fill in the gap. Sleeve Kits can prevent this from happening.

After the springs settled, is the fender gap at the front more similar to the gap at the back? Please measure both and report back. I'm deciding between these and the Swift Spec-R springs. Since I have a steep driveway entrance and do not have EDC I'm thinking the Eibachs and E36 bump drops might be the ticket (more conservative drop and near stock feel). I have stock ZCP rims and stock tire size. Trying to decide between 18/15mm spacers and 15/12mm spacers... recommendations with the Eibach Pro-Kit and E36 bump stops?

This is a 6 year old thread... this E90 M3 was sold 3+ years ago.

Some people keep their cars more than 6 years. I did not know you sold yours. Even though you sold it a while ago you probably have a pretty good idea how similar the gap was above the front and rear tires and how the springs settling affected the stance and dynamics.

Gap is the same 3/4" or so after settling, front and rear. The thing about Eibach is that you will never look slammed, they look "OEM Lower".
Check other Eibach threads for accurate measurements, there are quite a few of those here... Quote:

Here is my dropped on Eibach Pro Kit as well since last week. I love the height now. I also have been using Eibach springs since the 90s.
Tire wise I am running 265-30-20 up front and 285-30-20 in the rear. It rubs only on full lock in the front but slight touching on the inner liner. |
