Long term review of Eibach springs

DL335D · 09-16-2020, 08:41 PM

I bought a set of eibach spring and am still not sure I want to install them.

I'm not looking for better handling and want to retain EDC functionality. I also want to keep near OEM ride quality. My e92 has 45k miles on it.

I'm definitely not interested in coil overs and like the drop that eibach's provide.

I've read many posts, but would love to hear from those that have used eibach's for more than a year or so.

There's plenty of feedback on these, H&Rs, and Swift springs over the years. They'll do exactly what you're looking for - no need to overthink it.

I know man. I'm a little paranoid because I installed H&Rs on my 435 with stock (non edc) shocks and they destroyed the ride quality. It crashed over bumps like crazy. It was heavily under dampened.

I’ve had the Eibachs on mine (with EDC) for about 3 and a half years now. I couldn’t be happier. They pair up well with the rest of the stock suspension, with no noticeable deterioration in the ride quality. The advantage is of course the slight drop to minimise the gap and handling improvement too. Just right for a street driven M3. Now just do it ....

Okay. I'm getting them installed tomorrow!

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I've had Eibach on the car for over a year. It rides fantastic but I also did shaved strut mounts and e36 M3 bump stops.

I wonder if Eibach Pro-Kits w/Bilstein B6 Damptronic shocks would be a good upgrade over stock ZCP suspension?

Not sure but my b6 with zcp springs looks on stilts on the front.
