EIBACH PRO KIT LOWERING SPRINGS 1.0" (FR) & 1.2" (RR)
EIBACH ANTI-ROLL KIT 25mm (FR) & 19mm (RR)
Dose anyone have this installed? How's handling? Any problem with the warranty?
I appreciate anyones feedback on the this page. Thanks!!!

Your Warranty will not be affected by changing out the springs and swaybars, however, I haven't heard of anyone using Eibach sways, and only one guy running their springs, and he didn't seem too pleased.
Currently, the H-Sport springs are the best on the market; they evenly lower the car, and are firmer in back than stock to decrease the understeer.
Changing out just the rear swaybar would help dial out the rest of the understeer. For most daily driving, even aggressive, a 19mm rear bar is perfect.
Good luck,
Ryan

Hello jjcooperz
Can I ask what are the total cost of the spring and swaybar from EIBACH?
Because I am planning to do the same to my MINI too. :smile:

Also for Ryephile
If you said that H-Sport springs are the best on the market what about the swaybar?
What about the price for both spring and swaybar?

Lowering springs are common upgrades. Alex@tirerack says HR springs are firmer ride with a bit more lowered look. H-sports lower the car 1" front and rear and work well with cornering. Eibach springs are closest to stock ride for MCS with lowered look. All are similar in price.
There are many rear and front swaybars to choose from. Most owners are going with rear swaybar only with adjustable settings. H-sport make several including a tubular rear model at about 5 pounds which is quite light.

Many of us also choose to add the rear lower adjustable control arms to dial in or out some negative camber in the rear. Less camber (-1.0 degree) helps reduce tire wear (can also rotate tires to reduce this) and helps with straight line steering smoothness while more negative camber helps in aggressive cornering.
