Lowering springs that are not low

brad65ford · 12-13-2020, 05:08 PM

Kind of silly question but trying to find aftermarket lowering springs that are similar height as stock or a little lower. Currently my wife's 18 m3 has h&r sport or super sport springs and its just to low and bouncy, would like to go back to stock but the car is used. Any suggestions for the highest of the after market lowering springs? From what I can search it seems the Eibach is the only option though there are 3 different types they offer. Any help would be great, thanks in advanced.

I believe the MSS Spring kits can stay at stock height?

Eibach Pro-kit Euro Spec V1, P/N: E10-20-031-09-22.

I actually bought a set through the following link for about $24x.xx shipped from Germany to the US. Amazingly, delivered in 3 days. Will be only dropping the front end on my F80 and leaving the rear stock height.

If you're looking for stock height, what's wrong with picking up a set of stock springs? You can usually get them pretty cheap.

Either stock springs or Macht Schnell for a mild drop, you can also use the included gold spacers in the rear to fine tune the rear height a bit.

Thanks guys, ordered the Eibach Euro V1 from the link above. Hopefully it ships quickly from the UK to the US lol. Thanks again.

+1 on the Eibach Euro V1 specs. I live in New England where the roads are 99% bad then the frost heaves come in.

My car has the M-Performance front lip which brings it down another 2" and I'm completely comfortable driving with it. The fender gap is perfect, install is a breeze with the right tools on jacks. Drive is 100% stock.

Glam angle but this gives you an idea of how it sits on stock wheels with the lip.

I'm sure it'll ship out quick and delivered within a week at most.

That shot money!! The ride height is perfect for a comfortable daily driver especially with a front lip.
