It looks lower than stock. Maybe you have a full tank and/or stereo stuff in the boot? My car was not that low from the factory.

Agreed! AFE makes the largest/lightest available sway bars for the F8X chassis.

In my opinion the upgraded sway bars should have been included in the competition pack

I am seriously considering doing this, but as its my DD, I dont want to rub the bumper on everything. Did you find that you started rubbing on a lot of things since dropping the front?

I’m coming from a competition with double staggered 763’s. I love it’s current ride and afraid for a drastic in change. I just want to make sure I’m not compromising too much. Thinking of V1’s.

Interesting. It looks good. I did this once on a car. I couldn't get them all swapped before an Autocross and just got the fronts done. It was fun but not fast.

Lots of us have the eibach v1 front only installed. It is a perfect conservative drop. Sometimes I wish it was a bit lower in the front but its very practical for daily driving and I rarely scrape on anything. If you have the $ and are willing to spend it I would probably recommend going with MP HAS or another HAS kit so you can adjust the front and the rear height to exactly what you want.
