with my H&R drop, the gap went from 3 fingers in back and almost 4 in front to just enough for 1 for both. Im guessing the RD ones give much more of a lower stance and Eibach's front will be slightly higher.
Personally i love the aggressive raked stance the H&Rs give. While ride quality is not severely compromised.

I wonder if the Eibachs actually give better performance because it lowers it slightly less in the front (more suspension travel) and is slightly softer so I would imagine it should be more tuned with the shocks.
I know with my H&R's when I go over bridges/overpasses (big bump) on the freeway my car gets pretty unsettled. Feels like I fly for a second if it's in comfort mode. Any of you Eibach people experience that? (note: comfort mode)

Get a set of proper coilovers. You get everything you want that way. You can adjust the height, the ride, and will get the best performance.

Thats probably the best advice.However, if your car will never see a track or will only see a track once in a blue moon, its a pretty hefty price tag to have a lowered car.

there's only .2" difference between the two. I think the main difference in performance comes from the spring stiffness not the difference in height.

Also many of the coilovers I looked at had a minimum drop of 1" and that was more drop than I wanted.

You don't necessarily have to step up to Motons, you can get TCKs for half the price, but I would wait for GC to come out with their set up, if not going the Moton route. There is also the RD chassis kit that comes with matched springs and shocks. I will admit, Im not a big fan of aftermarket springs and OEM shocks when combined together.

I would like to know who the H&R's would ride with the shorter bump stops and spring guides shaved down, like Dinan does. They're all OEM parts.

I ended up getting Moton coilovers, should be installed in a few weeks. The shop Im going to use is busy with their racing program at the moment. I still think that coils are the way to go. Does Eibach have a matching strut and spring kit for the M3?

I looked at KW and a couple others recommended by forum sponsors and they all told me minimum drop was 1". I didn't look at Moton though.

I have to say i mounted eibachs on my e92 335d lci with M suspension with eibach spring, i find it a little bit jumpy on bumps. Does anyone also have this ? I was thinking of going to change to H&R to stiffen it up a little. But will i lose to much comfort ?
