If I could do it over, I would have gone for coilovers. The Eibach Pros have been fine but with the combined cost of Bilsteins and Eibachs, a few hundo bucks more, I could have been able to dial it all in.

I already went with BC coils , y'all are late

I realised how old the original post was after I posted but it's still useful info to anyone searching out this subject on the forum. More to the point though, where's the pics???

You say that now until you ride on Coilovers and feel how they feel . The stock suspension is so soft and expands and compresses so much you really feel the Stiffness and sportiness when Coilovers are installed . Properly i might say. It's a really big difference. Springs with M-Sport shocks? A big no no . Springs with Koni or bilistein shock? Yes

I've had adjustable coilovers on a few previous cars but just set them at the height I want and never touch them. I'm not against coilovers at all and agree with the benefits completely. On the e92, I have now replaced the rears with Bilstein shocks and the fronts will be done soon as they are getting towards the end of their life but the car rides lovely and did with all m sport shocks. Your car does look gorgeous on the coilovers though, happy with them?

Very happy with them . only thing i don't like about the 3 series chassis is that the rear Is not a true coil over . I wanna go lower in the rear but there's so much you have to do i still haven't got around to figuring that part out on my own

Your ride look great!

What are your wheel specs? I'm trying to figure out if i'd rub or not

I have a 2012 e93 n55 -- installed kw street comfort coilovers

Currently running 18x8 BBS CH-R ET 40 all around, front spacer 12mm, rear 15mm

Realized how horrible it looks in the rear so I purchased 18x9ET44 and 255/35/18 Michellin sports A/s3+ tires

trying to figure out if I'd rub if I kept the 15mm spacer on the rear.....or could i fit the 15mm up front with the 18x8 ET40 and switch the 12mm to the rear with the 18x9et44...

just scared if I'll rub or not
