Very nice and complete list, this should be a sticky!

[psuwcc112]

Very informative, thank you for organizing!

[UH_TX]

Thanks for working this up. Maybe classify by linear or progressive ?

That would be great. I think I read that the Eibachs have linear fronts and progressive rears. Lots of information being thrown out in threads, so I'm not sure what information is correct. If you know that a specific product is linear or progressive, let me know and I'll update the list.

How do I make it sticky?

[Accel Junky]

Good idea. I would recommend adding the drop or drop range for each set (and whether that drop is for F80 or F82).

Is it possible to increase handling with only springs?

It certainly is. A higher spring rate reduces squatting and diving, while also enhancing cornering ability. Lowering the cars center of gravity is also a big plus.

Only if the springs dont go too low otherwise the shocks are no longer in the proper operating range.

Positive reports coming back from the AC Schnitzer springs....we are curious to see how the Eibach USA springs will perform.

Updated. Ohlins TTX is available to order.

Great information! I heard Moton is coming out with F8X M3, M4 suspensions too.
