Are Eibach V1 Springs Still Available Anywhere?

I am interested in the V1 Eibach springs (0.2" R/0.5" F) but don't seem to find them in stock anywhere. If you know of a place selling them new, let me know.

The Eibach's actually raise the car to level the rake. That's why they made a V2.

Hey Justin. Good to hear from you. Please explain. V1 raised the car?

Thanks. Looks like Eibach took care of his issue though with a replacement set for the rear. Mild rear drop is my primary reason of wanting the V1. A plus 1 wheel will fill-in half inch of fender gap on its own and I am not a fan of tucked-in wheels.

V1 drop for a M4 non ZCP PKG was rated at 0.8” front and 0.2” rear. V2 have a new rear drop of 0.4” which isn’t that noticeable. After a few years of driving now w/ the V1 and the suspension settling in, its about the same really. No reason not to go w/ the V2 IMHO!

Thank you. I ended up going in a different direction and ordered MPHAS from Steve Thomas last week using the Dec promo. I figured I might want to change my ride height while doing the annual wheel swap every winter and spring.
