Eibachs not available for 2011 M's yet.....

[Poleposition]

As per Eibach themselves, their springs have yet to be tested on ANY 2011 M3's yet. I called simply because every vendor that sells them has a drop down for make/model/year and 2011 has not been available as of yet. They told me they have yet to test the 2011 M's but do plan to do so. There are supposedly several cars in line ahead of the M3 that are bigger revenue generators for them and they take precedence. I asked the tech this question specifically: "If the specs on the M3's havent changed from model year 2010 to model year 2011, is it safe to assume that I can use the springs currently offered for this car?" His answer was NO. They may or may not make adjustments to the specs of the springs for the 2011 models. He did say you certainly wont hurt your car at all but he will not officially condone the use of springs on a model year they have yet to test. The more requests they get to make the product available for 2011 models, the sooner they can justify testing it. Ive called several times to see if they've made any headway. They are very nice people. I ask that anyone with a 2011 M3 thinking about installing eibachs please call. They may just get it done sooner than later. Again, it may not be ANY material change from whats currently offered but I dont plan to purchase the springs until they officially offer them for 2011 cars. The number is 1-800-507-2338. They are in Corona, CA. Call them.

All the best

Any word on this I was thinking of purchasing the springs this week for my 2011 M3 coupe as it will be hitting port in two days from my ED trip!

If its a comp pck car i would not change the suspension. Personally im goinf to add the Dinan strut brace for looks and eventually upsize the back tires to 285/30/19. Comp pkg suspension is dialed in perfectly, i think any aftermarket spring is just gonna ruin the rise, wear out the shocks and struts and cause underbody damage.

No ZCP so just standard suspension, so are the springs approved for this, thought nothing changed from 2010 to 2011 if you didnt get the comp package, am I wrong in this assumption?

I have Eibachs on my 2011 e90 m3. I am actually pulling them, I know many people swear they are a "stock-like" ride, but they are a little floaty to me. I'll probably swap them out for the ZCP stuff later on.

i just ordered a set of Eibach springs for my 2011, it should be here this week and on my car in a few weeks.

If you guys really wanna play with aftermarket spring kits....i suggest going with Dinan. They will cover your warranty which really would only be benificial if you had EDC.ZCP or not, thats the way i would go.I cant see Dinan's spring kit to be any better than ZCP other than a little bit more lowering in the front of the car.The rear you will not see any difference.

So Ive spoken to Eibach several times since this thread and the tech told me (off the record of course) that there will be no change to the springs for 2011 cars. I ordered mine.

Persoanlly if i was going to install lowering springs, i would just do Dinan just to be on safe side. But if you dont have EDC, then i guess it really wouldnt harm anything.
