what do you think of the eibach springs? I like how they try an strike a balanced between comfort and performance. I feel like it is a good pairing with the stock damping of the f10, which I need to keep to protect my chassis from toronto road surfacs..

opinions?

AC Schnitzer designs the springs - Eibach manufactures for them. Sort of like Bridgestone Golf making Nike golf Balls when Nike was in the golf equipment business. They shut the factory down and change all specs - at least in the golfing world.

From all reports, the Eibach are a bit sportier and you lower the car a bit more than ACS.

With ACS/Koni FSD versus stock -- less float, less dive, less feel of going backwards on acceleration. A good balance.

The AC Schnitzer Group would agree with you on the stock shocks -- they think it's a waste of money to change shocks unless needed. So you would end up with a smoother ride with the stock shocks over the Koni FSD. I can see it working that way - OEM is a "softer" shock.

You could go slightly lower and sporter with the Eibach Springs if you are staying with the stock shocks - but you also have some posts stating the stock shocks were blown - make sure the bumperstops are trimmed a bit - I am told the lowering increases the need for more shock travel. I'd probably stick with ACS because sometime, you will change the shocks to something sportier.

Good luck!
