The eyes are the window to the soul​

I really like the tafetta white w/the body kit. Just couldn't live w/the ivory leather.

Really? I agree it was not my first choice (black interior would have been more stylish IMO) but the two-tone isn't bad. Just harder to keep clean!

Thanks for the many cool photos. The M3 still looks good, too.

Thanks for not hiding your plate #s...I don't understand why folks do that. What's the difference between erasing your plate and stepping outside and viewing millions of exposed plate #s?

Can you tell us how the ride is now with the Eibachs? Are you scrapping?

Blurring provides people with a false sense of security...But to each his own. Plus, there were just too many to blur even if I wanted to.

I am in love with the Eibachs. Got it aligned at the dealer right after I installed them and have had zero problems. No scrapping, no problems getting in and out of my driveway, etc. I do have to slow down a bit more over speed-bumps...

The performance difference is immediately noticeable. The first thing I noticed was the lack of roll going through corners. The car didnt lean right or left and glided through curves like it was on rails. I have never driven a car that felt so confident. Second, there is zero squat when accelerating or decelerating. (Squat, as I understand it, is a car's tendency to sit down or compress the springs when torque from the wheels is first transfered to the ground and for the car to lurch forward during sudden braking). And lastly, the whole suspension is tighter and firmer than OEM. Quicker response entering corners, turns. Does not feel OEM at all.

That being said, its a noticeably rougher ride as well. Not unbearable in the least, but not stock. You can really feel the road beneath you.

All in all, I would (and have) highly recommend them for the Coupe. I'm sure there are other high-quality brands out there for springs, but I am really impressed with the Eibach Pro-Kit Springs.
