bringing this back up to life. Im considering the Eibach springs. KW HAS is a bit out of reach right now given the other mods i want to do. Could someone do a comparo between stock and the eibach? Are they much stiffer in all modes? I live in NYC so comfort will be key as the roads here is not exactly that great. thanks!

It is firmer than stock but ride relatively good on bad roads. I live in NYC and the roads are beyond horrible!

i also will drop my m5 when it arrives. not sure which springs i will go with (most likely h&r)
i have a body shop, so i have access to tools etc.. do i need anything special for the install? also, springs won't effect anything electronic etc. right? |

Could you post some pics of your ride height? do you feel the drop is even or does it have a forward rake? I dont like the ACS as it has a reverse rake. I think HR has a good drop but im going against it due to some ppl complaining about the bounciness.

I've had H&R and now am on Eibachs. H&R is bouncy and gives that raked look. Eibachs are really comfy and give a balanced stance. I prefer it a bit lower though. So if I had to do it all over again, I'd pick KW HAS.

Really? I wonder if CP Shocks and such make a difference because I don't have any bounce with my HR's.

How much of a difference did you see going springs as opposed to stock comp, is it that much lower or not really?
