Thanks

Looks good...H&R seems to be a little lower with bigger compromise in ride quality.

I'm putting a set of Eibach springs in my M6 after having H&R for about one year. I'll update with my impressions after installation. I just can't live with the H&R any longer.

I must say my first set of springs were Eibachs and then I had to go lower and put H&R's on but the ride is toooo bumpy and not smooth with these Fu****g H&R's

hahaha....how do you REALLY feel about H&R's:biggrinbounce:

can't wait to see you're ride on the KW's...Vic's writeup seems convincing!

Turner motorsport site says that the Hartge springs lower the car 1.25in all around the front & back!

while eibach pro kit says that they lower the m6 1in front and .6 rear.


In my opinion i would go with Hartge because the hartge lowers the car the same all around, keeping the bmw geometry....

does this sound right maybe to anyone?

I think by default BMW cars are 'higher' in the front than the rear, I choose Eibach springs for my M6 because I wanted the "raked" look(the back is a bit higher than the front) but didn't want the vehicle slammed to a point where it's a pain in the a** for daily driving.

Eibach PRO-KIT Lowering Specs: Front = 1.0 in / Rear = 0.6 in

Looks great. I'm having mine installed on the 6th.

I had my Eibach Pro springs installed today. The ride height is slightly higher when compared to the H&R, but I have to say the car looks much more uniform and not 'slammed'. The ride... well what else can I say, it is hugely improved. I'm going to run the car in the hills this weekend to determine any handling compromises, but since my M6 has become my daily driver, I will forfeit any possible handling issues.

I am hugely happier with my Eibach compared to my H&Rs. Anyone want a set of H&R springs, I'll give them away for free, you just pay shipping.

Agreed!

Eibach doesn't make springs for the vert? That's surprising...are the specs that much different?
What options do the verts have?

Pictures of my car with Eibach springs are up on page 4 of the airfield shootout III: http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=1336212#post1336212

I feel the car looks much more even and not slammed. The ride is hugely improved with no loss of performance. I don't know if it will affect my top speed with the slight increase of drag.

Hey guys, I have a set of unused (sill boxed, never opened) eibach springs for the M6 coupe.
If anyone is interested, they can collect, or send a courier to collect.
I don't wont any money, just send me a bottle of nice wine, and cheers.
You see, wanted a set for my M6, and I booked the car in with Hartge UK ( Birds) and at the same time my wife got a me a set, as a present, and I am now stuck with them.
It is a shame for them to go to waist, because I can not get a refund, so I would love if one of you could use them.
The only thing, you will have to arrange collection.
Just PM me for details.:cheers:
By the way, Hartge uses eibach springs.
