Lowering Springs/Vert

Will the Eibach Pro-Kit work on the vert?

You can run them on the convertible but the spring rate is designed for the lighter coupe so your car will sit lower than normal.

I'm also curious about this... It seems as though the verts sit a bit lower in general...

Didn't have the clearance for it with my new rims. 235/265 wouldn't fit without fender mods, and I wasn't willing to do that.

Think we can start a thread to get some vender attention. There is a market for springs for a 135i vert.

I personally think the car only needs to be lowered by 3/4" to 1" inorder to look fantastic.
