          If you want the 6" front springs I can send them out Monday.

            I am not looking to slam the car down. I am perfectly happy with the current height of my car with the current Eibach PRO springs. If I get the 6" springs, will my car sit higher (1991 318is)?

            If that is the case, I'd rather wait for 4" springs.

            How about the camber plates as you mentioned? 6" springs with camber plates would help retaining the current Eibach PRO height?


            My Original Order:
            ADCD875 - coilovers (450f/650r) and Dust Boots.

            Thanks

              Been out of this thread for a while and I'm happy to see, that the results are finally coming in.
              I've been pretty satisfied with Einstein's product, since my set up went in about a year ago.
              I have a 325 coupe and can lower the front to "stupid status".
              I once tried driving like that, just for SHITS & GIGGLES and failed hard.
              I chewed up part of my left front fender, as I made a left turn into a driveway, my IS lip and splitter got fucked too but escaped death.
              I'm back to a nosebleed height again (not really), as I could not go up my driveway, if I left it that low.

              What this means is, I don't have a cut strut housing and can still get pretty LEEEEUUUUX on a 6" 450 rate front spring, it's your preference on height but I see no need to be so slammed here in Cali. Our roads suck ass too and if you want to protect your oil pan, you will have to raise the car a little.

              Have fun with this product and continue posting pictures of your prefered stance. ;)

              Thanks for all the hard work Nigel.

                  Iron-e are you running camber plates or just un cut housings with the adjusters in?

                        is my order on the way and do you have an eta so it doesn't get jacked off my front porch? too many kids walk by for me to not worry.

                          Thanks.

                          So my options are:

                          - Go with current 6" springs with camber plates.
                          or
                          - 4" springs.

                          Camber plates are on my list of things to buy. So, I think I will go with 6" springs and order camber plates. Nigel, which camber plates do you recommend for maximum flexibility with your setup. IE, yours or some other make? I don't race the car other than here and there autocross (as my schedule allows) events. I just want to put together a very tight car like a go-cart.

                          Feel free to IM me for prices etc.
                          Thanks

                              Edwin (or Einstein ) is that setup on Billie sports? Not revalved?

                              I'm not worried about a harsh ride, but I am worried about the overal quality of the combo. From the looks of Edwin's car, that height is perfect.

                                Nigel says you are running IE (Ireland Engineering) Race plates. I see multiple options on IE website, which particular one do you have on your car?

                                Thanks.
