When I got the Eibachs I was tempted to just fit the fronts as you say, the rear looks fine as is imo. I didn't do this as I wasn't sure how that would effect the handling (stiffer on the front than the rear is likely to encourage understeer (I believe!) and no one wants that!).PinkPineapple44 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2017 8:32 pmIdeally the front arch gap would reduce by 50%, but the rear is almost perfect as it is for me.SteveSmith wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2017 6:59 pmI would.PinkPineapple44 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2017 2:37 pm
The front height of the E89 has always bugged me, the arch gap is just so big! I was looking at buying the Eibach pro kit soon over the H&R, but as you say it still doesn't lower the front as much as we would like.
Would you still opt for the Eibach kit again if you had another go at it?
Personally, I think the 4 pot doesn't weigh enough so Eibachs plus 6 cylinder looks good.
The H&R's sit too low at the rear for me.

Where did you see these thicker spring pads?
I found the thicker pad on eBay. That should raise the rear slightly, basically back to stock height and give the stance needed.
I really should have gone for coilovers as I'm stupidly fussy about the rake of a car but I have adaptive shocks and I like them!
