Is it possible to use the Eibach springs for the R56 to replace the springs on the H&R Street coilover set? Will it raise the max height the coilovers allow? I got a used set and it's way too low for everyday driving in Istanbul, esp with the JCW body kit that I have.. I keep scratching the bottom part of the front lip with it.. The rear is fine as it will raise to my desired height but the front is way too low.. Any help is appreciated..

 

Yes it should be doable. You can measure the inner diamter of your current springs where it sits on the lower perch. My guess is it's 60mm. Then pick a length....7 inches or 170 mm should get you to a decent ride height. I would do 5 kg/mm or 6k springs. You might want helper springs too.

I'm not sure how the springs mount at the upper perch but you may need an adapter.

Thanks for the reply. To my understanding, there shouldn't be any problems with the upper part since the coilovers doesn't come with any upper plate. They use the stock mini plate. I guess I'll have to try it to see if it works.
