The new cobra suspension lowering set that’s on my car has been released

Anyone running the eibach’s yet? I see R44 performance ships them now. Not sure if you can get them purchased in NA yet.

I have a set of these due in a few days and will post photos when they are installed.
They have just finished around 4-5 months testing on an AC Schnitzer car.

MSS installed on local customer with H&R 15mm spacer all around.

[DaveDee]

Looks great, perfect stance and you just can’t go wrong with MSS HAS kit. The color really suits the new stance.

Can someone post a spring install video/pics, if you plan to DIY?

Great look forward to your opinions on them. Where did you order them from? The mss kit looks great but for 1200 bucs I’d rather get full coilovers.

For those interested the official Part number from Eibach
These will be installed on June 6 along with the BMW M Performance brake and rotor upgrade

[Frequencyz]

Can't find that part number anywhere online, was this a motech kit?

No Definitely not, they would be just resellers. I believe I have the first set here and checking the Eibach website there is no mention of the part number yet
Do you have an Eibach office in USA, if so maybe contact them directly.
I’d say this is a new Part Number as it’s different to the G20 3 series number

This should cover a few topics.
Eibach springs installed with drop of rear 15mm and front -21mm with more expected when settled
Initial impression is way better than expected. Ride in every setting is better than stock and handling has improved quite some.
Whist these may not drop enough for some it gives me the ground clearance needed in some places and is perfect as a daily driver.
At the time of installation the MSS kit was not available due to stock issues and freight lead time so they were knocked out

M Performance Brake upgrade including rotors, pads etc
Early to say but a really good pedal feel and the front rotors and calipers are substantially bigger than the stock M Sport.

Wheels

These are a fully forged lightweight wheel made by a local company Koya Wheels. They have a first class reputation here in Australia and are frequently used in motorsport. Their new process introduces a pre milled fully forged wheel made in Taiwan and finished in optional PCD and offsets here. Widths are limited to 8.5", 9.5" and 10.5" (otherwise would have chosen 9" and 10" but they are HALF the price of a custom forged wheel milled here.
Early photos and will post more later

[MPR]

Are those Eibach prokit or sportline? I like the subtle drop, especially to give the ZTK included oil cooler some clearance. Can you post some pics in the light?

They are the Prokit. The drop may settle a bit more but using the 245/35/19 replacing the 225/40/19 increases the arch gap by ~ 3.5mm. As mentioned drop front is 21mm and rear 15mm which is easy to live with
More photos to come when I can get some time to organise them

Yesterday, Cobra Suspension (one of the larger spring factories in Europe), a brand based, developed and manufactured in the Netherlands, after finishing the development on the M240i G42 springs, also finished the development on the 4 cylinder versions of the BMW G42 220i and 230i springs. As far as I know, this is the first brand that is introducing springs for the non-M240i.

The kit drops the G42 230i 30mm on the front and 20mm in the rear on a M-Sport. This specific development vehicle also had 15mm spacers from and rear. The springs are more tailored towards comfort to keep a composed and sensible ride. Definitely a lowering spring kit for daily drivers. See below for the results:

Soon available

[Kaolinite]

can anyone confirm that the G20 m340i lowering springs work on the G42 m240i? I've looked up the Part# for the H&R springs and noticed its the same part# for both vehicles but Eibach for example has different part # for each car.

Reason for asking is someone local is selling lowering springs from a g20

They are different. I sold my G42 which had Eibach springs and now have a G20 M340i also just fitted Eibach springs, different part number and different drop, different feel

[TheGeekGuy]

Hey, did you ever end up installing these?

I ordered them a few days back and these got lost in shipment. I am still trying to figure things out with my seller / shipment.

[BG42]

I bought my eibachs from tunershop a while back even coming from Germany they were cheaper and here in 4 days.

I was able to get my shit back
DHL did deliver from the UK to a neighbor 3 houses down, in 4 days.

DHL was able to track down the Driver's exact GPS co-ordinates, down to the house and sent me a picture of the delivery with neighbor's main door and welcome mat in the background lol.

The MMR springs are a more aggressive drop than the Eibachs. Which is why i chose them over the Eibachs.
We'll see if they ride like crap tho

[Crazy One]

Does anyone know if it is possible to install lowering springs on xdrive with adaptive suspension?
Is it possible to change the suspension settings after this modification?

I asked about it my local tuning shop and they responded that only standard suspension can be lowered.

Yes it works fine all US model m240s have adaptive suspension. All the modes still work fine. I would maybe avoid that shop a spring is a spring.
