Wait I'm confused. I see these on Mod Bargains site but they're not out?

Maybe Mod Bargains is importing the Euro spec ones. I know Supreme Power is currently doing that.

They're probably taking pre-orders for these springs as I imagine most of the kits will be spoken for once they hit inventory.

I sold the one Euro spec kit we had to Supreme Power. We originally brought two of the Euro kits in from Eibach Germany, tested one and sold the second set as it would have just sat in our warehouse for months or even years before anyone realized.

The Eibach North American M3/M4 kit should be finalized very soon. May 1st is our production ETA on several sets and we'll go straight into testing once they're available.

We rate the springs, shock dyno the factory dampers and then cycle test the suspension without the springs to measure travel. With all three of these variables tested it's pretty easy for us to determine rate and height for a performance spring. Spring rates are typically increased by about 20% over stock.

Just because our spring is lowering the M3/M4 by 22mm (1" = 25.4mm) up front does not mean you're taking away 22mm of compression travel. There's this thing called "motion ratio" that has to be factored in which would make this number less.

Technically, the shock travel remains exactly the same. All our springs are doing is moving the compression travel down slightly which is fine. BMW uses really good shocks on these cars and they have built in shock travel limits that allow us to use more of this compression travel. We test these limits and build our springs to increase performance, not take it away.

So basically this holds true for the euro specs? 20% increase in spring rate? im mostly worried about the bounciness factor... to me that just feels horrible and removing refinement put into the car.

Ground Control has them!

Ground Control just came out with camber plates that are designed for the F8X 3 hole and 5 hole models

It works with factory ECD.
36mm of negative camber
Allows the F8X to be put back to stock camber
6mm of caster adjustment bi-directional from stock.

No problem!

We have received a lot of inquiries about the US Spec Eibach Springs

We'll be updating the thread as more info is passed on to us.

Will you guys be at bimmerfest and if so will you have them on hand?

We will for sure be at Bimmerfest. Trying to see if we can have something confirmed by then. No promises yet, unfortunately.

supremepower · 05-15-2015, 04:23 PM

Another update coming Monday!

Some good news

Booster · 05-28-2015, 03:30 PM

...and the news is?

Jaymax85 · 05-28-2015, 09:34 PM

lol

We have a small batch of US Spec prototype springs here at Eibach we need to test. Anyone interested in letting us use their car for a couple of days? You would get an installed Eibach kit on your M3 or M4 with alignment at no charge. Shoot me a PM if interested.

JTO24 · 06-02-2015, 10:38 AM

Someone do this ASAP! lol I want to see the US spec springs on and settled (if any) after a few 1000 miles before my car arrives

tr3flip · 06-02-2015, 01:34 PM

Here is the first front and rear spring hot off production!
