Yeah any rubbing? i have the M6 with et17 rear and am wanting to know if any rubbing with lowered eibachs.... I also carry passengers and luggage a lot so this is my main concern.

Thus far no rubbing or bottoming out, but as mention in previous replies, the Eibachs only dropped the car 0.5" more that stock sport suspension. I don't think rubbing is going to be a concern, but to be on the safe side, I went with 12 mm vs. 15mm rear spacers. As far as ride quality goes, I honestly can't tell the springs were swapped. Perhaps this will change as they settle and my shocks age, but nothing yet to make me regret my decision to drop it.

Drive over some expansion joints doing about 70-75 and then let us know if the ride is the same. Or have you done that already?
