Did you change both front and rear to V1 springs? Please send pic. They will def go lower a bit after settling.

Car looks great with the Eibach V1s! That's exactly what I'm looking for, but why is it some people complain the rear goes up and for some its perfect? Also, how do the Eibach V1 handle larger bumps? Does the car ever getting jarring? I'm lowered on Swift now and the ride is perfect 90% of the time, but for larger bumps and things like that I am not as happy with the ride or stiffness. Thanks for any help!

What's even more confusing is that this guy put V2 springs on the front only and the wheel gap on the front looks the same as the V1 drop listed in this thread by OP. Maybe OP you got a bad set of V2 springs with different specs?

Did you need the spring compression tool or is it just unbolting and bolting stuff back? I remember on the E46 M3 it was a PITA.

I've had lowering springs/coilovers installed on a few previous cars and this is the most outrageous install pricing I've ever experienced. It's enough to prevent me from bothering with it.

Those ^^^ prices are simply absurd. It took me about 3 hours with no lift and I had to reposition the car for every corner because of limited space. This was also the first time doing anything on an F80 so I wasn't familiar with it. A shop with a lift could do it in an hour or so. There are 3 nuts/ bolts to remove at the front and only 2 in the rear. $1700
If you were closer I'd help you out |

I've been getting recommendations for other good shops around my area. Hoping to get a few more quotes this week then order the springs. Quote:
1) Do you have a link to where you ordered the V1 Euospec springs from? 2) Do you have a particular install guide that you followed? I'm not hesitant to do a spring install, as I've done it myself on a few cars. And hearing that I don't even need to bother with a spring compressor is amazing, since that's always the worst part. The reason I have been planning on paying a shop to do it is because in the DIY tutorials I've seen, they all seem to make it sound much more labor intensive than you've indicated. Like this one...

Thanks to your recommendation, I ended up ordering some Eibach v1's (E10-20-031-09-22). They should be here early next week with install set for next Thursday.

Is there anything that can go wrong of affect long term wear/tear if o choose to lower just the front? I also feel like rear is good enough.
More scraping or so because of the increased rake? Not really I guess? |

It's not an aggressive drop anyway but the handling characteristics can change because of the increased rake, more weight is moved to the front this way.

I drove around with the zcp rear and eibach v1 front for about a month. I like how it drove in all modes (C, S, S+). Still feels like how a sports car should. But, the rake looked weird to me.
Just installed the eibach v1 rear last week (looks much better since it leveled out)... the drive def feels softer in a good way. I feel like the sport mode feels like a notch between comfort and sport... the ZCP springs is def stiffer ride than eibach V1. Im not sure if I like the softer ride with the V1 though... I love the look, but I find in comfort is just to soft and prefer to drive around in sports mode. I guess comfort is now "wife mode" whereas, comfort was to jarring for her with ZCP. Will see how this plays out it the coming months. |

Nobody is spinning out of control driving their improperly lowered cars and, frankly, none of us are that good of a driver to even be able to notice the slight difference in handling balance. |

The drop looks perfect... Very very balanced from front to back.
It's appears you will not have any issues around town or daily driving what so ever. Keep us posted on the long term drivability and if you face any issues. |
