Which Eibach springs for my E86 Coupe?

I’m fairly new to Z 4s, and I want to replace the springs all round on my 2006 E86 Coupe. It is the Sport variant, so it has (I think) the M Sport suspension package as standard. I don’t want to lower the car any further, and I was wondering which Eibach springs to go for. Most of them seem to be advertised as ‘lowering springs’, and I’m not clear whether this means they will lower the car even further than the M Sport ones already do. Could someone enlighten me please? (Oh, and the run-flat tyres have got to go....)

Eibach are lowering springs for the z4, if you don't want to lower then suplex are the brand a lot of people use as oem equivalent
 
only lowers a sport by 15mm + apparently an improved ride quality. I'm going eibach as soon as the weather warms up and fit them myself
 
Hi Marlon. The springs are tired and showing corrosion on the lower coils at the rear. I’m guessing a break sooner rather than later, given the state of the roads near me.
 
I recently fitted b4 shocks and eibachs to mine and it has made a decent difference to ride quality and how the vehicle responds to bumps at. However I can't tell you how much is down to replacing knackered old shocks and how much is down to the springs.
 
The eibachs won't lower the car hugely, but they do make a visual difference. If you're happy with the current ride height, go for suplex sport springs.

If you'd like it sitting 10-15mm lower than how your sport suspension sits, go for the eibachs.

I got mine from Balance Motorsport back in december who could only get their hands on three. My fourth came from demon tweeks who had a couple in stock back then. I do know most places are quoting July now. A few on here have managed to land a good deal on ebay germany but I think they may also be out of stock now. Can someone post a link to the German supplier please?
 
Thanks MACK, I'll have a look on Ebay Germany.
I can get Boge and Monroe cheaper but Billies have always had a good name.

:thumbsup:
