Eibach Por kit and satin black 359s installed

Mpro · 03-07-2014, 06:13 AM

Spring is arriving early in Belgium this year (forecast 18° by sunday and sunny) so it was time for some mild adjustments I was planning to do since november:

Eibach Por kit springs and satin black 359s installed w Michelin PSS in stock size (235/35 & 265/35)!

Springs: No loss of comfort but less body roll.
I really like the stance the car has now!!

The PSS certainly illiminate small imperfections in the road but still to soon to feel the difference in grip as they are still quite greasy.
I have already driven these tires (E92 M3 & newer //Ms) so I had an idea.
The experiences I read here just made this decision easier.

I still have the original 359's with PS2's (which have only 8.000km and are still in good shape) so I can swap to compare.

Enjoy the WE everyone, I know I will!!

Looks to be the prefect drop IMO. Always enjoyed aw with black wheels.

Car looks great OP!

Lookin really nice . love the m-stripes on the grill.

Nice drop etc.

I'm also going to buy Michelin PSS this spring.
But I thought the front tyres are 245 instead of 235 stock?

Cheers

Oops!
Of course you are right Robin!
245 it is.

Hoe rijden de PSS?

Zachter!! Kleine offenheden worden merkelijk beter gefilterd.
En zeker en vast meer grip in het accellereren. (flikkerend DSC lampje is veel meer afwezig)
Ik heb al een tijd met een M3 E92 ea gereden met PSS, in de regen is het verschil zeker indrukwekkend.

De banden zijn momenteel nog net te nieuw (200km), maar de opmerking van André betreffende het insturen klopt wel. Ik voel inderdaad een kleine vertraging bij het insturen ivm de PS2's. (onderstuur is een groot woord)
De verlaging zorgt wel dat de reactie van het chassis nog directer is en dat vind ik super.

Grtz

OK, ja André zei dat ook al inderdaad.

Thanks for the info.

That is a better stance than stock. Dare I say it: that car is more handsome than mine

We share our taste!!

Which exhaust are you running?

The front lip is something I considered but I live in an area with a lot of speed bumps.
Within a few days it would get destroyed...

Beautiful combo of B&W guys !!
Black wheels on AW is THE thing to do.
