I am not quite sure why everyone thinks the front is so hard to do, I found the front a lot easier than the rear. I think the reason is that everyone trys to do the fronts without removing the entire strut assembly.
To remove the entire strut assembly there is only one pinch bolt to remove on the spindle which holds the strut in the spindle, then the sway bar link needs to be removed (on the left side the headlight level adjuster arm needs to be removed). After this stuff is removed the whole strut can be removed by taking the three nuts of on the strut towers under the hood. The whole re and re takes about 30 to 40 minutes per side including installing the new springs. Another plus to doing the install this way is there is less of a chance of damaging the car compared to trying to do it with the strut still attached to the spindle. Your car looks good lowered!!!! I love eibachs!!!! |

can you give me Dennis's number?
also how does the ride feel with the springs. I had H&R on my Porsche and after 5k miles, it was so choppy that i hated it. Now, i am not so crazy about springs, but i see a lot of M3 guys getting springs and I am sure you guys wouldn't do it, if it was just drop and worsen the handling. |

it is easier to get him thru email. tell him richard with the space grey m3 send you. book ahead of time though, cuz i think he is booked up til end of this month. as for the ride, it is a small/good drop without lossing ride comfort. i am sure there are plenty of positive reviews out there to back up this springs.

Raja, I have the Eibachs on my m3, wish it would have been a little bit lower in the front, but i only have my self to blame since I have 20's, but when im driving the car looks perfect cuz of the downforce. I also had the Eibachs on my e93 335i, it was the best looking drop IMO. Ride difference I really couldn't tell the difference between stock and eibachs.
