In fact they are. Will try to find the part number. Not mentioned on the invoice. Just installed them, looks great. Car got stiffer a bit bumpy but even better to drive.

Eibach website says the springs are currently in development. Which ones did you buy, because it doesn't appear to be the ones designed for the 1M?

I have had the Eibachs fitted this week. The 1M in the first instance looks much better now that it sits lower. First impressions suggest that the handling is better, sharper turn in but stiffer ride.

Overall very pleased with the end result.

A sport spring alternative from Swift will be available soon. Specs and details will be posted.

No ETA from Swift. All I know is that they are currently making a couple sets of springs for selected testers in the US and Japan.

I have them as well, with the Ohlins kit that I am using. So far...very nice! Drop is about 1/2" in the front and 1/4" in the rear, however I'm also using a fully adj. Kit that Ohlins USA has been putting together (so not really that stock).

ERS(Eibach Race Springs) and Eibach Pro-Kit are two very different products. OP is after sport springs to lower his 1M, not a coilover type springs that must be used with aftermarket struts and dampers.

if i'm not mistaken, you chimed in with a plug for swift springs on an eibach thread. i think i'm closer on topic than you are, but you're point is made.

You are close as far as the brand goes. However, coil over type springs just aren't easily fitted to the 1M without some sort of sleeve-over kit and rear height adjusters.
