My EURO Spec V1 Eibachs arrived from Germany on Monday and I went ahead and swapped them in yesterday. It's been a day so far of driving and here are the initial impressions.
Ordered from Tunershop and they came in about 3 business days from Germany to California, color me impressed. Going from the US V2 to Euro V1, the front went up about .4 inches and the rears about .2 inches. I still need to give it a few more days to settle but so far the ride height increase has been perfect and I'm VERY happy with the look. On the US V2, the front and rear wheel gaps are more even (a lot of people like this), but in turn gives the car more of a rake look to it, on the Euro V1 it lowers the car but maintains the level look from the factory, meaning higher wheel gap up front. This was exactly what I was looking for, kinda like OEM+. Looking at a car on US V2, you'll definitely know it was lowered on aftermarket suspension and I still think it would look great with aftermarket wheels. Finally my front M-Performance lip scrapes A LOT less with the V1, in fact I've only scraped it once so far on a really steep driveway. Ride quality seems to be very similar between the two spring versions with the V1 being a bit more comfortable. Ride comfort feels very similar to stock, took the wife shopping the whole day today and she couldn't tell any difference. Here is the V1 Euro Spec installed.

I LOVE the Euro V1s so far, a very modest drop from stock but exactly what I think the F80 needed. Drop is definitely noticeable from stock but doesn't give the slammed look which is what I was trying to avoid. These springs are up on my favorite mod list. |

Maybe putting them side by side will help see the difference a little clearer. The Euro V1s to me is the perfect compromise between stock and US V2.

V1 looks great! Can you tell the difference in height after settlement IRL? It's difficult to determine via photos.

Why am I reading these V1's can raise the rear in some cases? Seems like they're a great height especially if you have a front lip you'd like to protect.

V1 looks great!, is your m3 ZCP? I think v1 and v2 drop 0.8" front with zcp, but your v1 front looks higher than v2. |

And question about labor involved to install, how long did it take for you to install them? Do I have to do wheel alignment after install? One of the local shops is quoting me $400 to install the fronts only. |
