I have a set of Eibach springs with about 25K miles on them for sale. They came off a 2003 R53. They lowered the vehicle at least an inch.

Interested. A few questions:
1.Are these priced w/ shipping?
2.How did they ride compared to sports suspension+? Firmer or softer?
3.Did your set up require adjustable rear lower arms for camber adjustment? If not, what camber did it run on stock?
Thanks!

Eibach Springs

I priced them without shipping.
The springs came on the car and the replacements are much softer. I would say they are a harsh ride with no body roll.
The rest of the suspension was stock, I replaced the shocks and struts with Bilstein touring shocks and struts.

A set of JCW springs I bought from another NAM'r. I use the car as a daily driver and wanted it to be a little more comfortable. If you are looking for a firm well handling ride this would be a good set.

Sorry no pics, I didn't think about it until after I changed springs. I have 17 tires and wheels and the top of the rear tire was even with the opening. The front had a little gap.
