Hey sorry I didn't get a chance to answer your pm.. but yea, slightly lower in the front would be great aesthetically but for me it looks well enough that I don't mind. Plus for me personally, I'm at the edge of adequate clearance to get into my garage so from a practical POV these are the best solution.

Yeah i'm the same way, another .25"-.33" would be great but probably not worth clearance issues. The car rides great and looks way better so I'm really happy.

Completely understand. I think too much lower it would be too low for the crap roads in my area. So appears when you are in the driver seat and/or have a passenger the ride looks more even when rolling on the road. Once I wash her this weekend I'll try to post some pics. Again very satisfied with this product, ride is great so future buyers out there hit up Supreme and buy with confidence.

These look ideal to me, I have no issue with the gap at the rear and don't want my car to necessarily look lowered, but the gap at the front doesn't sit well with me, aesthetically.

Now the question is do I get these or wait for the M-Performance coilovers?

I think these might work for a daily driven M3/4 with passive shocks

I feel that they would pair well with the passive suspension.

Has anyone driven on the track or autocross with the Eibachs? How do they perform comparing to stock or to Swifts?

Super happy with the Eibach drop! It actually helped lift up my saggy rear end! Yeah, believe it or not but my rears were sagging (probably from carrying around a full trunk of luggage on ED). Overall ride is like stock to me. Maybe a hint more firm but really not perceptible. Even the wife hasn't commented on any difference in ride quality. Overall the look is PERFECT for my tastes. No rubbing or scraping with the M Performance lip so I'm stoked that Eibach offered the perfect compromise in lowering the car and keeping a civilized ride with minimal NVH (if any!). Thanks again supremepower and Kikuo for hooking it up! Can't wait to see the pics from Saturday!

I think it's just right. How it should have been from the factory for people who know how to drive lowered cars (there is more risk of hitting the MPerformance lip that before but you just have to not pull in too far and use the parking sensors/cameras to gauge the distance) but I see why it wouldn't be as practical for someone who wasn't used to having a lowered car. Those people would most likely destroy the front end just pulling out of a grocery store parking lot b/c they won't think to try to cut the angle a little bit. So far so good. Haven't scraped or hit that parking stops so I am quite pleased.

That looks amazing! It changes the look of the car completely. Got spacers on the car?

Thanks for nice comments. No spacers. Not a fan of those things unless I was trying to correct offset on an aftermarket rim.

You are right tho, it did change the look of the car from mild to aggressive and I really like the way it rides just like stock. I was tentative on this mod bc I didn't want a rough ride or scraping but Eibach hit these right on the nose. Highly recommend for daily driven cars.
