Lowering with Eibach 3.0i on 19s

[Christianm]

Hi all, im currently in the process of buying a set of 19 inch BBS LMs 8.5/9.5 offset 40 front 45 rear, falken tyres 225/35/19 front , 265/30/19 rear. I want to lower the car and will buy the eibach pro kit for the car, i know it drops it 30mm.With this combo is there any chance of rubbing and do you have any suggestions for better offsets, tyre sizes with the eibach kit fitted if not i hope this setup should work ok?

Thanks in advance.

Should be ok at the front but you will probably get rubbing on the rear. A 30mm drop is quite a lot though.

Hi thanks, i thought thats what most guys on here run by the looks of it?I dont think there is any other eibach kit that would drop it by 10mm say for the standard car.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

This has been covered to death,

if you did a search you would find out that as you have 3.0L you already have sports suspension as fitted standard (Certianly in UK) which is 15mm lower than that fitted to the 20.L, 2.2L and 2.5L so fitting and Eibach kit will only lower your car by a further 15mm.

As for your choice of wheels check out this calculator which has also been posted many times and it will show exactly what happens to the reletive wheel position from what you currently have fitted to what you propose.

Here you can see the difference between the OEM M-sport suspension and H&R spring. They lower 5mm more than the Eibach`s

Standard M-Sport:


With H&R 35mm:


Wheels are 9x19 front and rear.
235/35 front (Rubs a little when I drive agressive in corners and bumpy roads.)
255/30 rear (No rubbing)
