Eibach Pro Kit and 10mm Spacers (Pic)

Just wanted to add this for all, in the event they were looking to see what 10mm spacers all around with Eibach looks like from stock to complete. Just got it done, so I am sure there will be some more settling. but it looks PERFECT to me.

Nice. I'm thinking about going this route. Maybe 12mm in the front. Let us know the ride quality

You should've probably posted this in the Suspension | Brakes | Chassis section of the forum instead of Discussions.

Maybe a mod can move it for you.

Yeah looking at it, you could go a little more out in the front, but I kind of like the wide stance in the back. makes it a little more aggressive, at least to me anyway

Thanks for photos I was just looking at my local Eibach site deciding on which spacers & Prokit to order for my M2 that I get on Friday. I think I'll go 12/10 F/R.
Looks great!

Is there any difference between the silver ones and black apart from colour?

if you use these springs do you have to buy anything else for the suspension? will the car align to spec using oem parts?

Pretty sure it is just color, I went with Turner 10mm.

You mean Pro Kit?
It could be a bit off so it's recommended that you drive for a while to settle them in and then do the alignment to make sure it's not off by too much.

Someone else running these springs said after a few weeks their car started bouncing around as the stock shocks can't handle it. Not sure if that's just his car or something to consider overall.

^ Seems to be an issue with the M2 N55.

For some reason the M2 Competition, even the OEM suspension seems completely different on my test drive in comparison to the OG M2.

I've seen a lot of people saying this but the part numbers are identical. I wonder if there was a difference on early 16-17 OG M2's or if it's all in the head. I've driven the M2C a few times and it felt identical to my '18 OG M2. Now the diff and the way the power transferred out of corners did feel different and I wonder if the software changes are influencing what people think of the suspension/handling?

Yes I saw the part numbers and they seem identical.


I truly the believe the heavier weight of the S55 is allowing the front end of the car to not wobble up/down and contribute to a smoother ride.
