Metro spring install

Ok... Im going to bite the bullet. Im going to order some eibach springs for my car. Last I heard, Ase might have some contact info (or anyone have contact info) as to where I can get these springs installed.

That, and if you know of any pricing for the install, that would be great...

Not sure exactly where you are located, however Induktion motorsports in Hanover MD right off rte 714 can easily do a spring install. A very standup group and I deal with them for everything!

Induktion did my Audi springs/shocks. They do a good job, but they don't do alignment. Also, Hanover is in the middle of nowhere.

My very happy with Sammy my mechanic for yrs. Swoop had his done over there.
I also had my /M3 done too lately and kept the OEMs 19". It look very sharp with 12mm spacers in front and 10mm at the rears

Perfect! I've done my e90 HR sways too if you remember. The repair station has high ratings in Washington DCs Checkbook Magazine for price and repair satisfaction.

I'll post photos when I get a chance and PM me if you like it done there.

Yeah, I believe Spool does charge less.
Just trying to decide if I want to install them myself or have someone else do it.
I'll probably get off my lazy butt and just do it myself.

I have some new 19's coming in soon. Ill be putting them on, then seeing if I still want to drop. I am running a pretty aggressive offset for the E92 (et 30), so I want to ensure that I will not have any rubbing issues if I lower...

A few have reported rubbing with the 19'' M6 replicas et 30 for the coupe.
I have the same off set with 265s in the rear and no rubbing (no drop)
it only seems to affect the coupe.

E90 can take a slightly more aggressive set up than coupes...



bavaria, i lowered Donny's and Al's car...if you are interested i can set aside time to do yours...although suspension is one of my least favorite project to do, i don't mind helping out a member to save some money.

shop will charge you 300 at least, i do it for 200....need 3-4 hours and some Arizona ice tea, if you are interested let me know...

Have those E92's been dropped?

Thats why Im going to wait to see how the wheels fit on the car.


Spool, I appreciate the offer, and might take you up on it!!! Just waiting right now to determine whether the new setup will allow me to drop...

Just to let you know, i run M3 offset on my car.


the rear is et 25 and i run on 275/30 tires..

i do rub when i hit dips, but not often, only when i hit something that changes my suspension travel tremendously...


in order to accomodate it, i had to run -2.5 degree rear camber


et 30 might be pushing it, for safe bet, you might wanna run 35 in the rear if you want no rubbing at all


here's a pic of my car's with the wheels on
