thanks bro. Just took a ruler and the front gap is easily over 2'' in front so with the eibach drop it will look perfect. The rear could even be lower then the 1.6, but at least this will have the raked forward look not the SUV look


with 1.9 drop in front you can fit ~ 1 finger, with 1.6 you can fit one anad a half, maybe two in the rear (no homo)

Get Eibachs, especially when they're coming out for the X.

This is def a dream come true for the AWD coupe owners. Persistence pays off, as does patience. So I wonder what the cost will be. I want to buy it immediately when it's available

I hope so too. But I've also been in very close contacts with the techs and they seem fairly confident about the release date being within the next week or 2. I think at this point, I'm gonna call Vossen and order my 084's. Do I need to tell them that I'm also dropping the car?

Eibach is best if:

a) You dont want the dumped look in the back
b) You dont want to scrape speed bumps or tell your girlfriend to get out of the car for each bump.
c) You don't want to buy front and rear camber kits

H&R is slammed indeed. I had Eibachs when I first got my G and they are great springs and a good looking drop that wont get you into any trouble.
Also if you take it to a reputable pro alignment shop they can get your alignment in spec without camber kits!

Iv had both eibach and h&rs.. Man i loved my h&rs, they were stiff but the stearing response and no body roll and the ease of entering a corner fast was great! On the other hand the eibach rides like stock and handles like stock meaning i need sway bars now. The h&r will kill your stock struts really fast tho so hope koni comes out with some struts for our cars.
