Eibach Springs for the M5
I'm ready for a drop... I was going to do the full Dinan stage 2 suspension but can't seem to convince myself that its a low enough drop. So im doing the stage 2 minus their springs and go with another company that... now im leaning towards Eibachs because they are lower than the Dinan's springs but not too low like the RD and H&R. I cant seem to find any pics of an M5 with Eibachs... anyone know of any? Thanks in advance!

I went with Eibach b/c I used them on my 645Ci and the ride was good. The ride in the M5 just as comfortable as OEM springs.

Bernie:

You can also look at all AC Schnitzer brochures or online for the look as they use Eibach springs as a general rule. They advertise a similair drop of 1.2 up front and .6 in the back (HR is 1.2 and .75), HR is always lower then Eibach from my past experience though.
