Eibach VS Tanabe
#19
I had Eibachs installed. I have the X-package and I like the stock 5 spoke 18's + wanted to emulate the feel of the01 330i I got rid of to get this car (BMW's are great until mile 50k when they start to collpase around you). So the short of it is 4 months in, the car handles like a slot car at high speed- awesome- but around town will knock your fillings out unless the roads are perfect (they suck in SF). I like the stance and weekend driving is great but if you like the luxury in luxury/sport when it comes to ride quality say goodbye to it.

I've used tanabe springs on previous vehicles and have hated them. They make their springs too soft for comfort but they create a lot of sway. Not to mention the dropped roll center with control arms placed so low that the vehicle develops snap oversteer. If you're looking for drop in springs choose the Eibach pro-kit. If you're looking for a good handling vehicle choose the HKS hypermax coilovers.

but what spring will lower your car so that the front is lower then the back, i have seen springs that lower your car but there still the same look of the rear being lower than the front...
