Didn't need any spacers for my application but when I was dipping my wheels I didn't notice now tight it was between the caliper and wheel. What made you choose eibach over H&R?

H&R are a notch lower than Eibach.

Yup. You nailed it. Too bad BMW didn't manufacture the car that you wanted.

This is never the case between those 2 brands. H&R always sits lower than Eibach. Granted Eibach does feel a lot more stiff compared to OEM springs and H&R are usually more like OEM but a little more stiff.

After everything that you did is it my eyes or did you not change the thing that would have the most effect, getting rid of the terrible run flat tires?

Lovely colour combo and great upgrades!
Michelin PSS would be a good choice too!

Just got my H&R springs installed and Vorsteiner aero blades. Drop was obvious on the front and subtle in the rear. Looks much better though.

Looks great, love your 6!! One of my favorites. Where'd you source the front spoiler from? Would you mind sharing the cost?

Also, by switching to H&R springs, did you replace the shocks as well or did you keep the factory M sport shocks? I was thinking of switching mine out to H&R as well, but was concerned about the H&R springs wearing out my factory shocks.

Would love to see a few vids of your Meistershaft. I went with the Eisenmann Race and wish mine was a bit louder/sounded more aggressive like the Meistershaft.

Looking really cool - do you have a rear shot of the car to see how wide the tyres are/how much it sticks out by?

Also is that the M6 rear trunk spoiler/lip?

Dip started to peel on edges after I changed out the tires. I got a new coat put on this weekend, came out nice. Added Graphite Metalizer top coat to Anthracite base.

If your sticking with that exhaust then you really need to de-badge it

Stance looks great!!! You mentioned going 285 on the rears - would the stance look ok? 255 F and 285 R?

Cheers,
Looks really good, I was going to get 285 in the rear but they were on back order. The rears looks nice and flush, congrats.
