I am looking at buying a set of Eibach lowering springs, either the Sportline or Pro-kit series. I was wondering if i would have to buy camber plates to use with the springs. Is this something i can install my self? How about my shocks?

Thanks

Installed the eibach pro-kit on my car with OEM sport shocks. The ride is excellent. Was simple install by shop.No need for camber plates.

No Camber Plate Needed. Only Alignment After Springs Are Installed. Good Luck!!

I concur with the others, great product.

Just be sure to have a professional alignment done afterwards!

Hey CarFreak, how much difficulty do you have pulling into drive ways and speed bumps now with the pro-kit? What do you all think of the Eibach front and rear sway bars?

 

[CarFreak]

no worries at all. Not that low. Perfect drop for a daily driver

i'm going for sportline springs with oem sport shocks .. does someone know how low it's gonna be dropped? i hate the "racked" look having the rear taller then the front .. so i was thinking the sportline would take care of that. it should right?

also .. Carfreak .. do u have bigger pictures of a side view of ur car with proline kit?

According the the Eibach website the prokit drops it 1.2-1.4 overall but the sportline drops it to 1.4-1.8. But saw something online that said if you have a sport suspension on your car already it won't drop it as much?? I am not sure what to think of this.

I think you sold me... after so long of ding dong I'm getting pro-kit to go with my OEM sports shocks. I just hope the shocks won't wear out prematurely.

It will definitely wear out prematurely, but when it does I'll probably sell my car. (car has 18k miles in 2 years)

You can get some Bilstein sport shocks which are made for lowering springs. :thumbup:

I got this off of BavAuto's site (regarding Eibach Pro Kit):

Improve your BMW's performance and appearance with Eibach Pro-Kit springs. They'll lower your BMW's chassis 1.4" front and rear ( .25" if you have sport suspension ) for reduced body roll when cornering, more precise steering and a lower, more aggressive appearance. Ideal for autocross, driver's schools...wherever the driving is intense and performance expectations are high.


I dont think a .25" drop is worth it for me... :dunno:

my car w/eibach prokit springs.

Is it me or does it look like it's at stock ZHP ride height?!? (dunno if you have a zhp or not)

No, I had my car side by side a ZHP when I had just the sport shocks and springs. The ZHP suspension doesn't even look lower than the sports package suspension.
