OEM Ride Quality Lowering Springs

[BA9092]

I'm with @Andrew4Supra on this one. I wasn't going to lower mine but when I saw the Eibach Euro Z4 springs and read up on that thread, I decided to give them a try. Now, I love my setup! I can't even remember what stock felt like since I feel the ride quality didn't diminish one bit - it actually just feels more planted and less bouncy.

I've also paired it with 10mm front and 13mm rear BMS spacers on OEM wheels and replaced the Michelins with Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus - 265/35 front and 285/35 rear.

~ Thanks!

Would you happen to have any photos with the DWS tires on the car? I love those tires and have run several sets on prior and a current car I own. How is the traction comparison to the oem Michelins? Tia.

~ no clunking or noise whatsoever. ?

I normally hate silver on most cars, but this thing is SICK!!

Here's a garage potato pic I just took...

does it really ride like OEM? I had the adjustable HKS setup to around this drop (a bit less) and they do feel kinda stiff; I can feel the land markers “crashiness” in the cabin - stock felt sublime, even in sport mode

I honestly don't feel a big difference between stock, when it's on comfort mode. The combination of the springs + firmer dampeners on sport+ feels great for performance and not uncomfortable just cruising around town either.

Exactly the same setup as andrew4supra and love it!

CLEAN! Thanks for the reply!

How is the ride on these springs ?

I bought them since the H&R were a bit too much of the drop of me (bad roads in Croatia), but I have to get them approved by my local vehicle inspection center before I can install them...

So I'm curious with the wider tires(that are slightly taller) and lower springs.

Can you measure your ride height, like from ground to top of wheel arch? I'm curious with the lower springs, and slightly taller tire what the overall ground clearance change will be compared to stock tires/springs.

Sure!

Looks like 26.5" for the front and 27" for the rear.

FYI for anyone still looking for springs-- I'm on TEIN S-tech springs and the ride is great. I was looking for something more aggressive and these are 1.2" drop I believe.

Took my girl for a ride after getting my TE37s on and she didn't know I changed anything suspension-wise which is like the ultimate test ?

 

[MYNEWFAST]

Tein S Tech all the way.

Springs and 12 mm spacer squared.

Springs only.

Totally stock height, no spacers.

 

[lordwalker]

Tein S Tech all the way.

Agreed, S-Techs seem to be a great product so far. Here's mine.
