Eibach and lowering

Hi
Has anyone lowered their car with Eibach, and mounted spacers? How wide spacer can you run with this setup without rubbing?

Original rims with Michellin.

The better question is, where can we get Eibach springs for g87s, seem like they are still out of stock.

I just finished DIY install. Eibach Pro Kit with 15mm spacers all around.
I went with 15mm spacers because it was the most cost effective pair I found online and I figured I won't be too far off from Ideal flush setup. I went with Eibach because it was a conservative drop and the stock springs felt too soft for me in comfort so I thought it should feel perfect and I was right. The funny thing was my street was just repaved and I can go in and out my driveway now without scrapping not like before I was already scraping with just the lip and no drop, lucky me.

Izzy looks amazing!! I just got my order in, thanks for the help. The car should be here sometime the end of July or early August. May I ask who did the install? Did you do it yourself?

Yes I did. I waited after break in service plus Eibachs was out of stock for a while. I actually posted my experience here. https://www.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...php?p=31030149
Happy for you getting your car soon. Are you getting one of the frozen colors. Amazing cars for todays money.

I got Toronto Red with BiColor wheels. I had a new S650 Mustang GT on order. I missed bing in a BMW after my E92. Cancelled the S650 order. I will miss the sound of the V8 though. I am going to do the Eibachs for the same reason you mentioned. My last spring I stall I did was my E46 some 20 yrs ago. With the E92 the ZCP cars were already lowered 10mm and felt that was enough.

I would like to do it myself as well.

Hi mate,
I have the Eibach pro-kit on order. Do you have wheel-rubbing issues with 15 mm spacers? I currently have 15 mm F & 12 mm R on order. I run Pirelli F&R!

Please advise me.
