Goddamnit I should have got YMB. Amazing dude. Amazing.

How do you like the ride? Do you wish the front was a lil lower? Is at all bouncy or harsher than stock?

Thanks, the ride is fantastic, as stated by others, similar to stock but less body roll. Just installed about 24hrs ago so we shall see. Have adaptive suspension, comfort helps but sport+ isn't bad at all either. I'm having a blast

Awesome news..it just seems perfect..I have adaptive also...would love your input after a few more miles and situations (freeway dips, slight up and down bumps on bridge on ramps etc that cam cause bounciness).,, I love the stock adaptive so to hear this is just like that but w better looks is great news to me.

[QUOTE=MDIVISION;17690833]How do you like the ride? Do you wish the front was a lil lower? Is at all bouncy or harsher than stock?[/QUOTE

I love the ride, it feels very planted and not harsh in any mode. Had H&R on my E46 & it was too low and bouncy but that car didn't have EDC so who knows. I do wish it was a tad lower in the front but I've had them on only for 24hrs or so it may settle a tad bit more. As of yesterday's (very unscientific)measurement drop is about .6 in the front and advertised is .8. Let's see when I put on the 15mm spacers this week to see the look. The f80 H&R springs are too low in the rear for my taste so this is the compromise. Also this is my DD , I'm 40 and we have a 3 and 5 yr old so I wanted it to be comfortable It doesn't seem dropped until you see the before pic's

Yeah i think I'm gonna go with these as well. Perfect compromise. Also it still looks like It came like this from factory. You might wanna think about doing 12mm all around. That will also not look like you added spacers. With 15s it be more obvious you modified it

Possible idea but 15mm's are here. This is the easiest mode to change if I don't like it. Will post photo's when they go on. Thanks

Boy I don't know what to do. H&R is too low in the rear and it looks like Swift will be similair. This one is perfect in rear but I do wish the front was a tad lower which I think the US Spec Eibachs will achieve. So I guess I will wait until that comes out.

Hey, sorry was busy trying to sell BMW's so I can pay for my M!! Indeed, great minds and obviously very fortunate. My Dad is a retired Federal Agent out of D.C, I spend some time in Fairfax City when he is there 6months out of the year. He used to live in Vienna, VA very nice. Let me know if there are any meets down there, not sure how that will go over with my wife and kids for 4 hrs so I may have to go solo.

My problem is I need instant gratification and could not wait for Eibach US to decide what they were going to do Hendrik at Baanvelgen told me this has helped him sell a ton of Euro Spec Eibach's to US Owners. If the front drop on the US is significant I may switch out but I'll probably be used to my drop by then. BTW you were "spot on", on the 15mm. Put them on today, too aggressive for me, I'm going to order 12mm all around, may even do 10mm in the back. I like it flush but the curved part of the rear tire looks "bloated" to me, although many I work with like it.

yeah I just ordered 12mm all around from eas yesterday! Good call.
I am really leaning towards these Euro Eibachs too. Dropping the front more would look better but it would totally change the ride quality.

I agree 100%...I think it looks good for sure, but I don't notice a huge difference in the wheel gap..I don't want to sacrifice the ride quality at all, and this all sounds great, just wish the drop was at least .8 like they say...6 isn't much, is it worth the money? I guess it is since eibachs aren't too costly.

I think on the M4 the H&R drop is better, doesnt seem too low. The M3 rear already sits low, or at least appers to. One of the guys I work with has an M4 with H&R and it looks good, the other has an M3 with H&R and it looks too low in the rear but perfect in the front. Also the tech who installed my springs said they may settle the .2 inches since it's only been 4 days since install. I definitely see a difference but not huge, but I like it to be somewhat stock. Like I told MDivision the 15mm all around and the drop is too agressive for me. Also, drove local streets today and it feels somewhat bumpy, as M's will be to begin with, so I don't want to keep dropping and giving up comfort. Oh man, I think I'm getting old!

Before and After: not sure if this helps as it's in different lighting. Here I do notice the gap is "closed". Would consider KW HAS but I'd rather spend the money on other things and I wouldn't adjust them more than the one time they go on. Decisions,decisions....
