Eibach Pro-kit and 435i with Adaptive - how's it look? how's it ride?

exE36M3 · 06-08-2019, 07:46 PM

I'll see what I can do today. The sun is still high in the sky so the shadows will be a little whacky. Plus it's like 90+ outside so...

Front end is 5-1/8 inches off the ground (front fender well lowest level)
Read end is 6-5/8 inches off the ground (rear fender well lowest level)

Front finger is 5/8 inches
Rear 2 fingers is 1-1/2 inches

awesome dude thanks!
The front looks amazing, I wish the rear was just a little lower.

What are the hub to fender measurements? That's one of the most consistent measurements to use when comparing ride heights.

Agreed. I do and I don't. *Maybe* Eibach was thinking about luggage, people, fuel in the back. I notice cars with the comparable HR springs have a similar, slightly higher back end.

Event stock the 435i sits a little higher in back... odd or engineering or both.

I can grab my ruler for that later today.

G80S58 · 06-10-2019, 06:45 PM

forgot to ask, do you have spacers on?

exE36M3 · 06-10-2019, 09:41 PM

Yes. I am running Amazon "Eurotech Werkshop" spacers ($86 for a set of 4, and came with extended bolts.). 12mm front and 15mm rear.

And the hub (middle of BMW logo cross-hairs) to fender distance...
FRONT: 13-1/8"
REAR: 14"

thanks, are the wheels flush with the fenders with those spacer specs?

exE36M3 · 06-10-2019, 10:53 PM

Yes the 12mm and 15mm are pretty darn close to flush with the fender well when viewed from the side and top.

awesome thank you again! and what size are the wheels/tires?

exE36M3 · 06-11-2019, 02:30 PM

Stock 18s... so 225/45-18 front and 255/50-18 rear.

psyki · 10-13-2019, 12:35 AM

My 435i xDrive with the Eibach pro-kit, 15mm spacers in the front and 20mm in the back. Stock 18" 441M wheels which I believe are ET34.

exE36M3 · 10-13-2019, 11:37 PM

Thanks @psyki! Looking good!

That looks really good, is it the pro kit with B8 shocks and Eibach springs, part number E10-20-031-18-22? Definitely looks lower than the claimed 20mm/10mm front/rear lowering.

Thanks! No it's the stock adaptive struts, hence this thread. Here's what it looks like now with 20" 437 reps:

Thanks, my bad. I'm curious how the springs pair with B8 shocks/struts. Apparently the drop is lesser. Can't find anyone who has the complete kit (B8 shocks + Eibach springs) installed on F32.
