Eibach Springs

There's no BMW option for the Sports though, right? Isn't it just the Spec R they're releasing for the M3/4?

Interesting that, based on the pictures, their "Sport" line has fixed rates while their track oriented "Sports Spec-R" have variable rates.

Those are "dual rate" springs. So not exactly the same as linear, but swift calls them linear

Not the same as the rest of the progressive units on the market, for better or worse

Eibachs are going on tomorrow along with 15mm spacers on all corners!

Now you're definitely going to need to swing by.

I'm probably not the best guy to ask as I find the stock suspension in comfort already pretty stiff. But I do not really feel a difference with the Eibachs, very happy with them for a daily driver. Not had the chance to test the handling yet.

Jaymax85 · 03-15-2015, 11:58 AM

the drop looks perfect, thank you for the pics!

no, that is far better than someone who thinks H&R, for example, ride well

so you would say so far, no more bounce or anything than stock?

Nope none of that so far. For me it really just feels like stock and happy with it.

Buddy Revell · 03-15-2015, 12:49 PM

Agreed. I've had them on for a couple weeks now and they're very similar to stock in feel. A bit more firm over rough surfaces and a little less body roll on turns but not too different in either category. I always drive in Sport mode.

Yes, my car has the adaptive suspension. Car rides awesome. The amount it is lowered is just right, not slammed, but its lowered. II went by EAS and put some wheel spacers on it. Car looks really good. I'll take more pics in the morning.

Do you still like your eibach springs? Are these the euro springs or U.S. version? Any chance in ride feel? How's the adaptive suspension working?

This looks lower then some of the other pics of the black M4, doesn't it ?

It's probably mostly lighting. Here's EndBoss's M4 with the stocks and Eibachs.

This looks perfect!
