Thanks for the photo lightfytr now i know how much 275 in the rear will cover my 19's when I get them. I think i would like a little bit more meat to cover the outer lip of the wheels like 285. Thanks again

No prob man, I ordered them online because Bavarianx has a back order. The ones I ordered were 65mm I found info here... http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=383818

Good luck, ebay has them all over.

Post pics!!!

got mine installed this weekend and LOVE the stance! Sorry no pics during the install as Im too impatient and was in a time crunch so I didnt stop and take pics along the way. Here is a pic of the stance on mine...pics dont do it justice one bit!




difference in overall coil heigh (eibach pro on top, H&R on bottom) this pic shows you how "soft" the Eibachs are compared to H&Rs, a lot less recoil on the H&Rs considering these springs drop the car the same amount...

rear

That drop looks perfect IMO and did you have the eibachs installed prior to the H&Rs, do you notice a huge difference in ride quality?
