Just bought used V1s for a good price. Past owner put 15K on em. Have read through alot of posts and owner experiences. Based on my understanding the fronts are much closer to OEM ZCP spring rates (183 compare to the 198 OEM spring rate) hence i plan to only install the fronts. Probably not going to get the EDC recalibrated/reset since its a leased car and i dont wanna mess with any coding which may cause me lease return issues (unless anyone can chime in on whether or not it voids warranty).
Main thing ive been obsessing over is the wear on my stock ZCP dampers. Due to slightly softer spring rates i am sure the damper will be working slightly harder on the same road surface hence there will be accelerated wear. Doing noob math i am thinking the eibach front spring is 8% softer hence worst case accelerated wear will reduce the life of the front strut by lets say 15%. If under medium road conditions the front struts will retain dampening till 50K miles than with the Eibachs they'll have a life of approx 40K miles. I am guessing when i return the car at 30K miles the struts/dampers should still be in good shape. Any educated car guys wanna share their feedback? |

Parabmw, you should do the same especially on civic. Installing the rears will give you the benefit of achieving the ZCP front to rear springs ratio (not to be confused with rates, which are a bit lower). Which helped a lot in ZCP comparing to civic which was not as planted and stable. |

Yeah, its a spring warranty, not shocks. If you have really reliable source og used ones with known, low milage for half the price, maybe. But the they are not that expensive and this is about your safety after all. As for brakes and suspension elements I would personally go only for the new ones.

I dont know about the settling of used. They will either settle a bit or not at all.
You should reset the EDC sensors and realign after 2 wks and a couple hundred of miles. +EDC reset. Last edited by Juras; 03-09-2019 at 01:55 AM.. |

Installed euro v1(E10-20-031-09-22) to my 18 f80 zcp last week and the car has 1"+ gap on rear right now.
do you guys think they will go lower after settling? here is a picture width of tape measure is 0.98" Last edited by Mustlistenfc; 03-20-2019 at 08:05 AM.. |

Right after the V1 install, my rear end has about 1/2 inch gap at most. The rear should look like this right after install. Last edited by DanMpower; 03-20-2019 at 05:48 PM.. |

I'm going to contact to eibach tomorrow morning. Our local bmw dealer installed these springs last week. If I can figure out the problem with rear then I really want to keep the v1. I like V1 more because the V2 drop is too low, and the V1 is exactly what I was intending. |

Sure, but their price is a multiple and they disable EDC.

Ok guys I have read through about 20 pages, and I feel like I gained a lot of knowledge and information, but than I get confused as I start seeing pictures of cars and the end result. So my main concern, I am dropped on Swift springs. I'm happy with the ride 90% of the time after I coded in ZCP EDC coding. But my only gripe is on larger bumps the car gets very jarring. The car has almost no bounce and rides fine otherwise and has a perfect ride height, although I wouldn't mind a little more front end clearance. I was thinking about adding E36 bump stops, circa E9x days of adding more travel in suspension in hopes for more ride comfort. Is that an option for the F8x? Anyone try it? Also, I was sold on the Eibach V1, only because on the V2 I see some cars with the front end slammed, some pics I see the front end just right? What's the final conclusion? Also, in terms of ride comfort how well does Eibach manage large bumps? Honestly, if they manage large bumps as well I am more than happy to make the switch.
TLDR: I want the front end ride height of the V1, but I don't want to raise my rear from stock Notes: -V1 has rear suspension issues, Eibach replaces? -V2 slams the front? My car: 2016 F80 M3 Non-ZCP (Civic) + EDC JD Last edited by JDE92M3; 03-25-2019 at 12:51 AM.. |
