If the inch drop is the limit for the shocks to work properly, then what happens when you drop the car more with the MP HAS?
Would that cause issues for BMW not to warranty the shocks should any fail?
Or is the consumer not to self adjust the port installed MP HAS as delivered?

Good question, I can't say.

MP HAS iirc has a max drop around 20mm which is just over 3/4 ". Port install they will only set to 10mm.

DCC there's your answer!!!

For ones who has it installed. How is the ride so far compared to stock?

[marconi118]

looking at teh tuev certificates:

eibach front has thicker wire therefore stiffer compared to jr
eibach rear has progressive springs softer at the beginning may help with traction

from my experience on e92 m3 hr has always stiffer springs on the rear compared to eibach very bad for traction. I ended up cutting one turn of the original spring: perfect drop and stiffness for traction

on g87 maybe hr at the front and eibach at the rear? but then the Tuev will complain. I am in Germany tooo

I agree, overall Eibachs are closer to stock and more compliant than HR. I dropped the car with Eibachs a couple weeks ago and very happy with the results including ride quality and overall height. I’m just waiting to get an alignment done.

Just did mine over the weekend. Was pretty straight forward.
The ride is I would say a tiny bit better than stock springs. Found the eibachs to be a little smoother. The height is perfect for me and where I live.

What was the measured drop?

Pro-kit installed yesterday, looking perfect. Ride feels better as well, very happy with it!

15mm spacers on the front and 12mm on the rear

Thank you! Do you know how much they lower the car?

Anyone consider getting these? Their website says a 30mm drop front and rear.

AutoID lists them as such: Front 15-20mm | Rear 10-15mm

Jesse / Ronin -just be aware in the drop that there are two Eibach kits -one for the Euro market (lesser drop) and one for USA / non-euro which has the greater drop. The autoid kit is the euro springs whereas the 57-01-22 kit is the USA kit. This is due to German / euro car requirements. All of this info came from Eibach last week when I called them as I was getting confused about there being two kits.

Thanks Jesse, best photos I have seen.

I have same colour / wheels / spacers and have been trying to land on what springs to use. My mate has just fitted the Evolve stance kit which dropped the car 40/45mm, which is more than their website stated. Looks great but a bit low.

Eibachs look perfect!

Ah good catch. I was quoting AutoID for the info but I bought the E10-20-057-01-22 kit from a local supplier. Thanks for the compliments on the car as well!

[AZG87]

Good thing you guys are looking at their progressives. I have run their linears on other applications and not a fan of the ride quality. Progressives will help with that.

[Ronin76]

I am learning a lot about suspension since hoining this forum and being interested in purchasing an M2 (currently on waitlist).

What made you guys decide to purchase these springs over the MP HAS kit? Was it simply cost? Drop? Or both? I was planning on getting the HAS but must admit this kit does give the car a nice stance though the HAS kit is not bad either.

[LeggoRacing]

Dang. I got the ones from AutoID a few weeks ago and they swore up and down that there was only one kit for the car. Haven’t put them on yet , but now I’m a little bummed
