Does anyone have these on their 3? I'm looking for pictures of how much lower the car sits with this setup.

I have eibach sportline springs on my ms6 2in front, 1.5 rear

I had to get an allignment done after i installed the springs...
I didn't like the way they rode at first...alot stiffer & harsh, but now i don't even notice.

Tirerack has an amazing sale going on right now and I can get a Koni Damper Set with Eibach Pro-Kits for about $649.

Thank you for the pictures! The ride height isn't severely lowered too which is awesome. I didn't want to look... ricey...

I can imagine that they will take some getting used to but considering that this will be the first true mod I've done to my car, I think it will be completely worth it for that stiffened suspension.

No problem. The ride height is perfect in my opinion. The ride height they sit at is one of the main reasons i got them over some other springs. I didn't want the wheels tucked under the fender.

You will like them. The ride is stiffer that goes without saying, but its not bone jarring, if you get the Koni's with them it may even be less of a harsh ride. Good choice on both springs and dampeners.

For that price, you're heading up into coilover territory. Does BC make any COs for the 3?

I honestly haven't checked. I have a good friend of mine who works at SCR and he suggested this setup for my car. I checked it out and from the things that I've read I see it as an awesome first mod for this car with the budget I have. It'll really help with autocrossing as well as the daily driving of the car. I do want coilovers but I quite frankly do not have the cash to be able to put those in my car. It's sad but I can wait. I'll do the things that I can for now and wait for the fun mods.

I used to have a set of Eibach Pro Kit springs. If I still have them I'll bring them up this weekend.

O.o... that would be sick. If you have them, PM me and let me know how much you'd want for them.

Yes, it's a late bump...

But that looks good!
