Is not a dedicated M2 set…that is not yet available. I was really happy with the Pro-Kit springs on my Z4M (before I got the Bilstein PSS-10).

Someone posted this a month ago stating they were looking for an M2 to create the kit. Hopefully they got one and will be out soon.

I understand they just rolled out the official set a couple days ago.

I had Eibach Pro Kit on my previous car and loved the ride quality and drop it gave it.

I understand Nick with the LBB M2 has a set on his car and provided me with the feedback I expected to hear about Eibach.

I did see them on tire rack for $325, I am contacting the first person I saw talking about them on Instagram to see how I can order a set.

Nice, interested in hearing feedback once you install them.

Just checked their site and it states 1.0 in the front, 0.8 in the back, going to look sweet!

I researched a ton before using them on my previous ride and went with them based on all the feedback they had. Hopefully I get the same result with them on the M2. They are just like you said 1" and .8" so its a perfect drop nothing crazy, will match it with some spacers most likely and hopefully it sits nicely and performs just as OEM or a bit more aggresive. Talked to one of their product managers and he didn't specify exact spring rates but did tell me the way Eibach goes about building suspension kits and they target 20% stiffer than OEM.

Agree! They retained the ride just a bit stiffer with a perfect drop.

They arrive this week but I have yet to find all torque specs for the M2 to install myself. Hopefully I can find details to install as soon as they arrive.

Looks great Nick! As soon as I saw Eibach announce them I jumped on them. I had them in one of my previous rides and I loved them cause it handled close to OEM but with the drop!

Hope all your prep for SEMA is going well buddy!

Nice drop! Could the set-up use some mild spacers as well? Can't see from this angle...

I believe he does have spacers NICKM2 can confirm!

All cars lowered like this I have read that a set of 10mm spacers works perfectly and thats what I plan to install on mine!

I am biased completely my friend.

I have never ran H&R on my cars but have heard good things from them. IIRC many reviews I read state that they are a bit more harsh (stiff) than Eibach.

I ran Eibach on my 2008 Acura TL using stock shocks and then on Koni Yellows and both setups had the car handling closely like oem but with the drop I wanted.

This is why I jumped immediately on the Eibach for the M2 because the prior experience had me sold on them.
