Even though I got mine re-aligned after the drop, it still appears from eyeballing it that I've got more camber than in your pictures, so that's probably true.

Put on 10mm Turner Motorsports all around..





Rear from the top, tried to snap same angle, this gives an idea of the push..

What are your thoughts on using Turner vs your initial plan of buying the Burger ones? Also are you satisfied with 10mm in the front vs 12mm?

Can't talk about the BMS spacers obviously since I have not used them.

But below some reasons of why I went with Turner rather than Burger and why 10mm all around rather than 10/12.

1. The topic going on about how you need to pick a spacer that accommodates the OEM hub. It had me reading for a couple days and Turner has extensive info online I wanted to go with their offering. - http://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1328594

2. Regarding the 10/10 vs 10/12 I was already thinking about a track wheel setup which was square and although, its best if the specs on the rims fit perfect, if I had the need of using the spacers with the track rims I would rather have 10 all around to keep it squared.

3. Fellow board member offered these recently basically new just one had been placed on the car for fitment but not used. Seeing them pop up was like the decisions point.

I am happy with the look and happy with how they feel, used a while Sunday, re-torqued and was doing 70-80 at highway and no vibrations or issues at all.

Did any of you guys who have lowered on eibachs get an alignment done after? The shop that installed my springs said it shouldn't be needed..

I did, just to make sure everything was in specs. It needed minor adjustments.

You need to remove front components, I believe an alignment everytime you do some major suspension work is piece of mind.

Wouldn't it be prudent to let the springs settle before doing the alignment?

There is another thread talking about the "settling" being the actual bushings resting into place if you don't adjust and tighten the components with the cars weight on the ground.

Regardless you want to align as soon as possible to avoid running the car out of alignment and wear tires unevenly.

Probably a repost but exactly what I need to see with this combo, the ride height looks better. My only concern is the negative affects on the surrounding suspension components over time. I'm sure alignment would help.

Absolutely. Shop that did the springs had an alignment set-up as well. I would not do this without a subsequent alignment asap.

Good find! Very helpful for anyone pondering this setup. Tbh though, I thought it would look lower based on some still pics I've seen around here. Perhaps some settling to occur still...

I think a bit more settling for sure. The spacers make such a difference appearance wise it seems!

Dabozo Are you going the Eibach route? Mine are being shipped as we speak!

Surprised the shop that did my install said it probably wouldn't be necessary. At any rate, got one scheduled.

Figured I would take another stab at the eBay guy. I'll go your guy's route if it falls through.
Eibach btw.

EDIT- Ended up ordering them from Germany (ebay). $341 all in. Hopefully no surprises lol. Interestingly, they will not ship to the USA...not exactly sure why.

Just a update on my eibach springs purchase...they arrived yesterday from Germany and the best part is it snuck through customs without duty and taxes! Total was $315 CAD or 220 Euro delivered. It came by DHL and was handed over to Canada Post...which ive heard are notorious for not ensuring duties and taxes are levied.
Unfortunately for any of you in the USA, these guys wont deliver to you.. Perhaps things have changed now because I heard this over a month ago from a member here...
