How much do Eibach springs lower the car by?

Hey all,

For the Z4 E89 35is the product code: E10-20-019-02-22
States 20mm front / 10mm rear.

Now what is not clear is wether this is the drop from stock springs, or M sport springs which are already 10mm lower, this would make the drop: 10mm front / 0mm rear. if from stock springs and not M sport springs

I can not find which it is, reading posts on this forum seems to suggest it is from M-Sport height. "I was told that was from M-Sport height not EDC by Eibach. But the supplied photos make it look from EDC height"

The below car is lowered on Eibachs, it looks significantly lower than the M-Sport variant, IE much more than 10mm at the front. Rear looks lower too

All input appreciated!

Thanks Guys

It's like you said. Drop is from non-M springs.

Eibach springs are much better than M-sports imo. Changed mine year ago.

I was told by the Eibach shop that the drop is from SE springs and not Msport springs. I was also told that although the data says the drop was 15mm for my old 3.0i E89, it is was more like 25mm on the front and 15mm on the rear.

H&R springs will give you more drop. I was going to lower my 35is but never got round to it.
