H&R / Eibach spring sag?

Just looking for feedback from owners of said springs, reading on the marketing gumpf, the H&Rs say they are not prone to sag?

What is the actual real world experience of this? Both of these spring upgrades are priced similarly, but the Eibachs don't make the anti-sag statement whereas the H&R's do?

Any comments appreciated :)
 
i have fitted H&R's on both my Z4M's and they havent sagged at all...

I also like Eibach,but they dont lower the rear enough on an M car IMHO..
 
Eibach sag after a year (approx) it's mm but is the difference between tyres rubbing when you go over or under dips in road etc. I've rolled the rear arches to get over this.
 
Thanks for the feedback guys :thumbsup:

From other posts, seems like both are of excellent quality.
Have decided to go with the Eibachs. The deciding factor for me is Eibachs are more subtle in the lowering as I'm mainly after improved ride, -10mm at rear and -20mm at front where IMO it needs the wheel arch gap reduced.

Ordered from Larkspeed, cant' wait to get them on :)
 
Hopefully they'll arrive quicker than mine did, although mine had bilstein dampers too. Took about a month, they never contacted me, i had to chase them up several times.

Thanks for the heads-up T2FFN, a month :( , got the confirmation/order email but will give them a call tomorrow to say 'hi'.
 
No worries.

They had to order them from Germany when i bought them. I did ask why the hell they didn't state this on the site and they agreed they should make delivery times more clear. Guessing they haven't.
 
I think this is the same for the H&R springs via dcperformance, although they actually state that they get shipped direct from Germany. So I guess in some ways it's not surprising... Looks like 2-4wks is probably going to be the wait time, will call anyway, cheers

Eibachs long term - no sag, no rubbing and no more front end floatyness at high speed :thumbsup:

I recently ordered coilovers from Larkspeed. They contacted me to say that there would be a delay due to them being shipped from Germany and to expect delivery after at least a week. The arrived at my parents's house 48h later. I was very pleased with their service.
 
Was not expecting this, got home to a nice surprise this evening, Eibachs arrived through the post today :)

They must have had stock at their HQ, but don't mind, great service from Larkspeed :thumbsup:
 
Good news...

I bought my H&R's through Larkspeed and they were 2 weeks to the door.. Nobody stocks H&R for the Z4M in the UK anymore so all 2 week wait.

They did tell me they had Eibachs on the shelf at the time of my ordering....And i would have had them but wanted more rear drop..

Probably superfluous but here is a quick tip; when fitting, lift the car at the centre points (for the rear: diff, for the front: middle puck), so you can do both sides at the same time.
This avoids messing around with the stabi's (which are unloaded in this case).

Thanks for the tip Rene, but I don't have a garage or kit to fit, so will be getting these installed for me :)
