eibach? bmw performance ?
i was looking to purchase the eibach pro street kit for lowered less floaty feel. the bmw performance is my other option. i really dont want any long term issues though as i hear that is what comes along with aftermarket springs. i am on rft but am planning to get non run flats as soon as im done with suspension. coilovers are not an option i just turned twenty and financed this on my own, not trying to screw myself financially with huge warrenty issues. what do you guys recomend for one who pretty much want a tigther, less floatier feel, i really hate that floaty feel... any assistance is much appreciated.

Out of the two mentioned I would go BMW Performance as you get matched dampers with it.
The BMW Performance suspension is developed with KW so they should be good and no warranty problems should any arise

I had my car at Dinan HQ a few weeks ago and they were checking out my BMW performance suspension setup. They said the setup was very close to theirs. I even had one of them take my car for a test drive to compare and concluded that the BMW Performance setup was slightly softer, but very close.

WOW, this basically makes spending all the $$$ on the DINAN suspension moot, just go with the BMW Perf. I wonder how they compare with the KW's.

I have Eibach springs on my car with RFT and like "img" said, the shock rebound is a little intense. In the future I'm either going coilovers or getting some matched shocks. If you're desperate for the lower look (like me) get the springs. But if you truly want the car to perform right, get some koni shocks and performance springs.
