eibach springs on e92

Straight Dave · 07-10-2011, 08:42 AM

Just bought my e92 m3 and have been thinking about putting on eibach springs to give the car a more aggressive look, has anyone had any problems with it. Drivabililty problems, scraping, etc. because I also want to put on a splitter on the front but it is my daily driver so I dont want it to be scraping everywhere i go. Any tips guys?

No I don't have EDC so I don't have to worry about that.... I think.

Then don't think twice, Eibach FTW!!!

I have had eibach springs on my last two M's and i was worried about the same thing as you and that is DD. My first M i had HnR and to me i was having to drive super careful all the time so i didn't scrape, with the eibach i really dont have that many issues and its a lot more of a comfortable ride IMO. You really cant go wrong with eibach

It all depends on where you drive. Any time you lower your car with just springs, you are decreasing your compression travel. Some have reported a little harsher ride. You can run e36 bumpstops to gain some compression travel back.

I installed Eibach springs in my M3 when it had 500KM (300 Miles) on the ODO and they have been great. No issues with ride, rubbing or scraping! The Eibach springs are the best compromise available for the E90/92/93 M3 where looks, ride and adequate ground clearance are concerned.

Thanks for all the input guys, I ordered the eibach's and can't wait for them to come in!

Straight Dave · 07-14-2011, 12:16 PM

Can anyone post pics of there eibach springs?

I ordered the same for mine. Just picked up the car and that was one of the first things i ordered. I just received mine in the mail yesterday from JLEVISW. Also got the E36 bumpstops. BMW cant get me in for alignment until monday so i'm going to do it sunday night. they want $225 for the alignment

Ive heard some dealers only charging $150. guess i have the lucky dealership, shocker. The only thing i am concerned about are the nuts that some people say to replace, and some people dont. i spoke to my bmw tech and he said i could re-use the nuts no problem, others say to replace EVERYTHING. Does anyone have a list of things that should be replaced with the part #s? i didnt see it in the DIY.

another side note, my tech also said he would stay away from spacers after i lower the car. he said it changes the load angle of the suspension and kills your wheel bearings too. any feedback on this?
