Your thoughts guys on this spring and shock setup

[Dave2013M3]

I was considering a Eibach Pro kit with FRPP shocks or the Steeda non adjustable pro action units. I know the Eibachs are progressive but the rates start at 200lbs for the front and 800lbs for the rear. I don't really plan on tracking the car more for aesthetics and better control on the street as I find the PP1 OEM stuff not quite so buttoned down.

They are linear springs of 200/800. The reported rates include the bumpstop rates in the travel. They would be great with the FP track dampers.

You like the FRPP units more than the Steedas? Having a hard time finding the FRPP units in stock.

 

[Dave2013M3]

Yes indeed. They were much better ride in my experience.

Ok, Brian when you lower the car an inch doesn't it add more camber, which I would like.

The ProKit with either will be an awesome setup. Consider adding Bilsteins in your mix.

Hey Dave, FWIW I've been using the J&M min drop springs for a week or two, they are 210/815, and find the ride to be very livable and firmer than stock, and that's with the stock PP1 springs.

Hey guys just got a deal on the FRPP track pack. I know I don't need a lot of the parts due to the fact I already have a PP1 car. I found it used but uninstalled for $800, seriously considering this. I don't know if I am going to use the sway bars though.

Thoughts...

Thanks for the info Mike...

Great deal! Do the front bar and the dampers. Springs I would stick with your plan (Eibach pro).

Hey Brian are the the Y springs that bad. To be frank if they are that bad I would just go with my original plan. What in particular you don't like about the Y springs.

 

[Dave2013M3]

I may just give this kit a shot. I saw some reviews on this kit and they seemed to like it.
