put a cinder block in the trunk and u should be even. LOL. All bmws are like that even after the springs installed.

 

+1 even my wrx was this way

the only solve for it is coilovers or eibach ground control adjustable springs

 

I hear what you guys are saying about coilovers, if money was not an issue then wouldve gone that route. But for these Eibach's, Im really happy with them. Ride is great and no rubbing what so ever. Driver side being a little higher, I'm over it already . But just wanted to share a before and after pic of my mod, feel really good about it, specially since I did the work myself

Before pic - last summer:



After pic - just installed last week - big difference, bye bye gap!!



hope you guys like......

 

lol wow thats a huge difference, i would send an email to eibach and see what they say

that doesnt look right at all

 

lol, the first pic is with stock springs and second pic is with Eibachs! its looks the same on the driver side but just a tiny bit higher on the rear driver side but not too noticable unless I point it out. I did not post a pic of the driver side yet....

 

looks good! is that 30mm drop all around? are those 20" rims?

 

suthurnbimmur,
nice drop, is that with stock shock? does it rub with full loaded of passengers? and what's the offset you wheel

 

When I've installed my previous coilovers I compensate for driver weight so driver weight does "even" it out. I've had my friends sit in my car (160-200lb range) to measure how much higher I want the driver side. And yes, when they get in, that gap decreases.

As for spring life, they pretty much can't wear out unless you beat them to crap for 150k miles straight so that shouldn't be an issue. On my last car with coilovers (set to 4 clicks from stiffest out of 32 clicks) I gave about 1/4''-1/2'' in driver weight compensation.

 

Interesting. Just wondering, did the other three gaps also decrease, particularly the front driver side? I just can't imagine only the back gap decreases (or decreases the most) when a driver enters the car and the other three remain practically the same. The drivers weight is nearly in the middle of the vehicle so I assume the weight is distributed somewhat evenly throught the suspension but more concentrated on left side of the car.

 

Tankman, thanks for the compliments!

Thanks!! Uhhmm, I think its a 1.25 inch drop all the way around, not quite sure what that convert to mm?? They are 20 x 9.5 in the front and 20 x 10.5 in the rear.

Thanks again!! It is with my stock shock, just replaced the EOM springs. It does not rub right now but I had my wife, and two kids in it and still didnt rub. Dunno my offset by can probably find out for you. It probably wont rub due to the aggressive size of my tires.

thanks again and let me know if you guys have any other questions, hope to be some help!!
