I may have done this once Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk. Does the lowering affect the performance of the DCC? Thanks for all the feedback on this thread - Vodnud are you able to post the actual part number of the Eibach sports springs you had installed - I am finding difficult to locate the part number for my Wolfie..

This is compounded by the fact that OE shocks do not respond very well to being compressed more than the factory springs would allow under normal circumstances.
The ride quality will decrease as a result. Eibach Pro-Kits are designed to work with original equipment shocks and struts. That's a very difficult combination to pull off. I'm a true believer in Eibach springs because they have always performed as advertised over the years. I have had Eibach pro kit on my cars since I bought my first E36 M3 in I also had them on my E46 M3 as well.
Eibach manufactures the best performance spring kits on the market in my opinion. The only thing is I wish it were a tiny bit lower both back and front..
However as said the poster above, different springs for different purposes. I love the way your car looks now.. I'm sure it'll look good with the eibachs also.. Originally Posted by vinnycg.

Thread starter Sayam Start date Jan 27, Good afternoon peeps Ok so at the moment I'm not loving the car as much as I should be Next problem As I do a lot of motorway mileage I find the current Eibach Sportline springs too harsh for the long journeys and want to change to something comfier.
The car is black edition and as far as I understand from factory is lowered approx 20mm compared to SE. The best way to describe my requirements is that the Sportlines are spot on, but in some instances I'd just wish the edge could be taken off. The Eibach Sportlines currently on the car lower between The Eibach Pro-Kit lower between 25 and So based on the above the Pro-Kit are the way forward however, I have no experience of spring rates and therefore can't assume the Pro-Kit will be more comfortable because the spring itself may be harsh in its damping effect?
I dunno, that's the limit of my knowledge of suspension hence I'm asking for advice. Fire away Gazwould Registered User. Pro kit is comfy. However ride quality comes from the dampers, I'd start there, especially if they are oem and been on there a while, even unleaking dampers weakness can be shown up especially by stronger springs.
I had eibachs 30mm drop on my old A3 and the ride was harder than a whores heart! I'm getting too old to worry about looks now I want a comprimise of looks and comfort Want to at least be able to drive my car an enjoy it! Gazwould, I'd love to swap the dampers but to be honest I haven't got the budget to do it, the car is on K but it's all motorway mileage.
Smurfworth that's the kind of info I'd like If you're planning on keeping your stock shocks, I would recommend the Eibach although the shocks would still go out much quicker than with stock springs. First Lieutenant. I had the Eibach Pro Kit Springs installed with Koni Sport shocks last weekend and will be reinstalling the stock springs this weekend because I feel that the Eibachs are too stiff.
I have the Eibachs, yes they are alot stiffer than the stock so I hope you dont haave bumpy roads where you live, cuz I do. I got used to it by now the body roll is much less, but if you are a person that gets aggravated by a rough ride Private First Class. Originally Posted by ssabripo.

Lieutenant General. Both are solid setups, you cannot go wrong either way. Brigadier General.
