I know RoWoX really likes theirs, but more opinions the better.
So far so good but I’ve only driven them ~30 miles so far since install. I bought them from the same eBay vendor as rowox (hint: search for this seller, pityuse, on eBay). My initial observations, the coils on the eibach springs are thicker than oem but length is actually similar. The main difference I see on the eibachs is the one end of the coils are more compact which I think allows it to be lower. Aka progressive spring.

Regarding the stiffness, I do feel a meaningful difference. The eibachs feel more plush than the oem springs I had. Now it’s more plush and less noise, vibration, and harshness.

Between you and RoWoWX3M, you talked me into the Eibach springs. I purchased what PityUse indicated was his last set.

Patiently awaiting their arrival.
Just to confirm, I don’t need anything else outside the Eibach kit, just need to get it installed?

Appreciate both of your help.

I may or may not have also placed an order for some BCForged RS 40s. (Hint: I did).

For sure! Looks great. One thing I hate about Germany is the tint laws (can't tint front windows at all). The full tint on this is a game changer though.

Yup I've heard that strut bar is backordered for months. I definitely think you need it though

Another option is to have Speed & Tech powdercoat or wrap it something like red.

Thanks! I was skeptical since I never ordered from R44 from the UK, but I'm extremely happy with the fit and quality. I'd say it's very close looking to the 3D one except without breaking the bank too much lol

I have a carbon strut installed in mine. I'd be willing to let it go if someone made an offer I couldn't refuse 😆
