Really??? A factory lip spoiler is just a slim spoiler attached to the trunk :bowrofl:

I third that... The lip spoiler would look great not necessarily a roof spoiler... :gotme

Car looks good by the way!!! :dblthumb:

:) Ok pay attention. These wheels are 20x10 all around with a 42 offset. The front tires are 245/35/20 Toyos and the back are 275/30/20 Fualkens. :bigthumb: :dblthumb:

This is only my 3rd day on these springs and I love the ride in combo with the wheels. :chuckle: :dblthumb: :bigthumb: :bowrofl: :mike :woot: Right of the bat more power transfer felt in accelerating. I can corner like I drive instead of corning and in not wanting to handle well. The drop adds appeal, looks, comfort and handling and I recomend this set up for all m35/45 drivers :woot:

I've always said this ^^ eibach springs are a great addition to your ride!! The best suspension set up IMO budget wise $$ and not too much messing with ride! I preferred these springs over the d2 coilovers... just the right drop, just the right firmness!! I recommend a camber kit all around if you don't have it already!! Saves your tires and corrects negative camber specially needed up front!! :dblthumb:

is it me or the new Eibachs are not the same any more

The pics on top look like an H-Tech drop, it has an even look with about a 1 finger gap all around. Eibachs in the past looked to be much lower in the front with very little gap and having a small rake to the car.

Something just doesn't look right, I see to much gap for it being Eibachs or at least the old Eibachs.

I thought the same thing. Maybe after a month it will settle some. OP once some time has passed could you measure your height from the ground to the center of the fender? Also as to camber kit needed that's subjective IMO. I had eibach for the longest time and had 3 sets of different wheels from 18"-20"s and never had excessive camber wear. I think my 18"s lasted 40k miles before they got down to the wear indicators. Keep in mind that was with track use and parking lot fun.

Bravoval, I recommend atleast the front adjustable control arms... They will save your tires!!

I do think the eibach need a little time to settle if he bought them new...

Bravoval get 5 really fat guys like me and take a 1/2hr drive and your springs will settle quick

Bodyguard can you post a pic of your M when you had the Eibach springs

Around here (NJ & NY) Eibachs = rubbing & scrapping all the time, thats why most that don't want any problems go with H-Tech springs

These are the pictures I could find of my M45 with eibach and Vossen wheels. Running VOSSEN CV1 Matte/Graphite 20x9"+32 20x10.5"+45 and NITTO NT-555 235/35/20" front and 265/35/20" rear. Only thing I would change is the front tires would be flush with size 245/35/20"!! The rear really cleared perfect and ZERO gap from fender to wheel! Never had ANY issues with rubbing while on 20" only some slight rubbing of the front fender plastic liner when I was on 22". Major plus with 22" was ground clearance!!
Hope these pictures help yall out!! :bigthumb:

and that was my point, the old Eibachs had a lower drop than the Eibachs of today.

Maybe they heard all the complaints about the M's crapping all over the place and changed the lowering numbers.

Thanks for the pics

and I understand about settling but the difference looks about 1 inch or more. This is the 4th car I see with this drop from Eibach.

I don't think Eibach's settle at 1" or more :nono:

I knew a few M45 in the passed around my area that replaced the Eibachs with H-Tech because of ground clearance. The front sway bar is a killer
