Just realize this is a VERY subjective comment. I LOVE the way the car rides with H&R springs on the M6. I spend a LOT of time in an M6 on H&R's (long drives and short ones) and I would have NO complaints.

I just had this conversation with someone who said the same thing, but had never driven an M6 with H&R's. That is a real shame that this kind of "info" gets spread without first hand experience.

Owning a shop we get to experience it all, and ride quality is really SO subjective, that it is nearly impossible to attempt to say one setup is harsh or supple - as each driver is very different in their take on such things.

Come on Brad--- you dont think I did my research and spoke personally with people I trust? Yes its subjective- I agree 100% and all of your shop experience still may not be in the best interest of what an individual wants or needs... or maybe it is.

Your right Vic, speaking to people you trust = driving a car yourself. I forgot!

What IS in the best interest of an evosport customer or ANY BMW enthusiasts is that people make buying decisions on fact, not hearsay or internet chatter. NOTHING replaces FIRST HAND experience. This is especially the case with subjective items such as ride quality.

Thanks

Hey guys what do you think about eibach springs for the M6 I putt them on my car 2 weeks ago it rides great but seems like the front is a bit lower than the rear but Im putting my new wheels on next week. Can the oem 19's be making the car lower up front?

Thanks

No, that is just the Eibach way. They typically have more rake in their spring kits then H&R. Meaning that they typically lower the front more then the rear. Not that one approach is better then the other, they are just different.
