The drop is currently bedding in and over all I am really impressed with the quality of the ride while still giving a very noticeable difference in handling. Eibach are well known for their OE ride quality while providing a noticeable drop, body roll in corners has been near eliminated yet still being a phenomenal daily driver and not being too harsh on speed bumps and pot holes.

Paired up to complete the look you can never go wrong with Bimecc spacers running a 12mm on the front and 15mm on the rear to thicken up the stance and make the tuck perfect!

As more people take delivery and begin modding these amazing cars Im looking forward to seeing the other options that are available. Drop some Images of yours below and let me know what you are thinking of this set up as well as what you plan to run.

So I just had the Pro Kit installed on my G42 and instantly I noticed a knocking sound when I drive over even the slightest post hole or bump. Is this normal or something that goes away with time? Or did my shop install these incorrectly….

Hey, I'd definitely recommend having that looked at as there shouldn't be any sounds noticeable.

Did you have to cut the bump stop

There seems to be an issue with G42 rear suspension knocking - see https://g87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1903609

How have they held up any strut issues?

Same question here seem like even a mild drop like eibach are killing stick active dampers or regular dampers very fast.

Sounds like coilovers are the way to go then?

I do not need the height adjustability and the cost of coilover that keep EDC is a bit high.

On my previous car, BMW 535i 2011, I installed my h&r spring when the car was 3 years old and I did 10 years with the stock shock without issue… just wish the G42 Monroe’s were as durable as those…

If Bilstein were selling a B8 Damptronic 4 shocks bundle for our car that would be great to pair with eibach when the stock shock start to leak. But my understanding is that you can only buy individual B6 damptronic at a not very good price.
