To me the cars turn in feel is better, but overall stability at higher speeds has decreased. I think it's because the rebound is off, so when you go over a bump at high speeds your car feels very unsettled which didn't happen with the stock springs. Smooth roads, I definitely feel springs feel better.

This is one of my main reasons for not getting springs.......Because I drive on all kinds of roads pretty hard, and that extra gap in the rebound helps my cause.

Hey guys. Ok so after reading all 5 pages of this thread, I think I am more confused on what to get. I am running on stock 19" OEM wheels & tires and will be getting Eibach pro kit springs. I want to get spacers too, but now I am debating on all sorts of set ups. All the pics on this thread look awesome, and to be honest, its hard to see the differences on a lot of them because they are only mm differences. This is what I want: spacers that get all 4 tires to just shy of the fenders. Don't want the tires right up to the fenders or out past them. Not sure if the 15F/12R will do this or the 12F/10R will. I also don't want any rubbing to occur. I am pretty conservative with the mods and don't want the super aggressive stance. I want it just right. Any advice would be awesome. Also any pics of any E92 cars with Eibach pro-kit springs, OEM 19" wheels and: (15F/12R, 12F/10R and 12 all around) would be much appreciated to help compare the looks. Thanks a lot guys.

Update: Found A good thread with pics comparing the different set ups. Would still appreciate your inputs. Thanks

I think you should find the rims you want to buy first. Because it actually really effects how your car sits. then you can get yourself some nice coilovers for performance and the choice of how low or high you want your car to be.

We have done just about every set up possible here, and based on your post, I think you will be most satisfied with the 15mm front spacers, and 12mm rear spacers. This will push the wheel out far enough to make a visual improvement, yet remain just inside the fender to avoid any rubbing issues
