I just tried to purchase them but was told they're out of stock until January.

I just had these installed on my car a couple of weeks ago and they're amazing. They did raise the car up slightly so I went from Eibach V1 springs to Eibach V2's. Just know that if you do get these shocks, you'll need to account for the added ride height. The v2's with the new shocks are a little higher than my v1's but the ride is outstanding, the handling is very flat and there is a distinct difference between each of the EDC modes. These are a huge upgrade but if you like a more lowered look, you need to go beyond the Eibach's.

With EDC dampers e.g. Damptronic do they adjust or calibrate to the height of the spring? If you have B6 Dampers and want a lower spring, rather than the lower spring putting the damper under constant strain and shortening it's life can the default position of EDC be calibrated (or is the only option to go for B8's). Reason I ask is there is not much information on this topic other than one video from a guy in Poland I think who mentions his EDC dampers being calibrated to his new lower springs (F30 BMW I think).
Need to be careful lowering xDrives because of the front axel, mine is a F30 335d xDrive and I'd like to pair it with the B6 Damptronics and Eibach springs in the future when I have the money to burn! |

B6 and B8 are identical performance wise but the B8 has different dimensions to accommodate a lower height spring.

There is no reason to go and buy a special socket. You can use your regular socket kit. You just use a long socket for the top nut, put a thin extender through it, put on a 10mm socket on that. Then put everything on the strut and hold the long socket with a vise or whatever fits, then turn it and hold the extender with the 10mm socket still on the shock with a small ratchet. Done. |

Understood thank you - the confusion comes with the "lowering spring" because the Eibach or ACS springs are meant to be compatible with stock dampers so it's only a mild drop - I think these would suit the B6's. For those who want to go even lower e.g. H&R springs then the B8's would be the way to go from what I can tell

Stock EDC dampers can be recalibrated. EDC has a compensation code (voltage bias) to account for the loss of damping performance over time and it adjusts the valving to increase the damping force so it feels like there is no loss in performance over time. This must be reset every time EDC dampers are changed otherwise the damping will be too high because the control unit thinks it is an old damper still. |

I wonder if BMW does this to protect the valve stack? With the new valve stack location estimated, it could then estimate the max damped displacement due to an input from its control transfer function and estimate whether it’s sufficient for the valve stack to run out of travel (i.e., make contact). If it is then go to max damping to prevent/minimoze contact from occurring. Last edited by M3SQRD; 02-11-2024 at 01:07 PM.. |
