Great content. Im still on the fence with swifts as i dont have many passengers. Did you scrape your front lip with the swifts? Is it much better with the v1s?

I was going to get the swifts and based off of JDs recommendation I went with Eibach v2. I'm pretty happy with them.

Own a '16 F80 Non Comp with EDC and 666m wheels
Was hesitant about lowering, but read good things from JDE92M3 and found a set of Eibach Euro V1's, and installed the front only. Barely much stiffer, and handles fine, now curious to pair this along with the CS EDC coding |

I thought I was settled on getting the EMD springs but now this has me considering the eibachs. I only want a 1" max drop in the front not really any more.

I think if your the type of driver that only uses the car on weekends etc on smooth roads for cruises the swift r with ZCP is still the king in terms of springs. For heavy loads in the car or when theres more compression or over big bumps the Eibachs may be better, but id rather get the swifts that are better on smooth roads and avoid those other driving situations. IMO

I wouldn't say that I just use the car for cruises and on the weekend. And I didn't want a "dedicated track car." I bought it brand new, tuned it since 7K. The car sees the track 3-5x a year, I autocross it regularly and still like to cruise, take the family out and ohh yea daily drive to work. 59K miles strong not a single issue. But I'm not getting to the point. Everyone thinks stiffer harder springs are the "best" on track. Personally I like when the car absorbs the bump. If someone tracks the car on Swift guaranteed the car may feel "tighter," but it will also have twitchy characteristics. Trust me when I say I buy my cars to use them, that's the type of driver I am . And if you haven't already and you have adaptive EDC, please do yourself a favor and code in CD EDC! Thank me later.

Maybe this will help you with your decision! Drop is perfect, ride comfort/dampening is great and clearance for lip is accetable. This is a teaser, my painted M Performance lip and other details are not installed. So this is all I can share for now of the current condition of my car haha.

Very interesting read.
I’ve had a standard M4, two M4 Comps, an M2 Comp and an M3 Comp. I felt the Eibachs were rubbish, so I fitted the AC Schnitzer springs or the M Performance HAS kit. I’ve just bought a new M4CS and all the guys on here said the Euro spec V1 Eibachs were the way to go and boy were they right! Ride and handling aren’t compromised in any way, drop is acceptable and they feel like they’re made for the car. So I can concur with the OP that these springs on a CS and I guess a F8X with CS damper coding are a perfect match. |

I’m so happy it worked out! This is why I love the forums and YouTube. I try to explain not all Eibach springs or different model springs are created equal. Different regions have different roads, demands on car, etc. The beauty of the Eibach V1 I can honestly say ride is not compromised AT ALL. Then people assume well if ride isn’t compromised then the car is floaty or feels less planted, again false assumption. Last but not least the car looks dropped OEM+ without that slammed look, again personal preference. But when driving around with the lip and having more ground clearance is a blessing. JD |

I appreciate this thread because it answered the very question you addressed in the above post. I kept asking those who attacked people for being cheap buying a HAS kit as to whether or not the cs coding altered the dampening characteristics to accommodate for a mild drop. Of course it went ignored as those same people threw their monocles down in disgust and disdain for anyone spending less than 4k on a “complete solution” when having edc is already sufficient. The beauty of electronic dampening is having the ability to code characteristics that compliment the hardware assigned to it, no?
I already contacted Alex and will move forward with the coding. Thanks JD. |

Do you think the CS EDC coding is too soft at times? I had it coded on my stock non zcp F80 (stock suspension), and didn't like it as it made the ride too soft/less sporty. But I know you're paired with Eibach springs so may be different.

JDE92M3 I had Alex do the coding friday after we spoke. Took the car to C&C Saturday morning which was 52 miles each way. Car behaved better than stock, not one single moment of bouncing, floating or feeling light in the wheel. Loved the changes, loved the car with the height adjustment and the CS EDC coding. Why so many advocate for a whole different solution because they did it and costs thousands more is beyond me.
Admittedly, I have not tried the other setups, but if stock was acceptable to purchase the car and I have made it better than stock, what complaints could I possibly have? |
