I regret reason being I thought the V3 would be harsh. But from all the end user's feedback they are even softer than the stock. With don't know how many times of performance improvement. I also like my car a bit more lower.

Trapezoid just not my cup of tea..... I would change them even if i have them stock.

I'm now on the way to Z to collect my car after the 3D Design installation. Thought you are also going to Z today? If we bump into each other by chance then perhaps you can try my car:-).

Then u must try the V3 to see if what u think is real .. so many hk dudes have installed them .. let's ask someone to kindly volunteer to allow you a ride here

I dun want low .. most drop i see r too low for my taste, maybe M-drop just a bit more, but no way eibach or H&R straight switch .. so eibach 550 i can raise the front by 1.5cm if it works to plan, my rear is about 0.5cm higher all the time since i never fill more than 50% gas

eibach 550 does not fit our car bro. different spec. you will have problem since 550 is way heavier than our car.

also, i compared in person with mlai's car. his is lower than mine. about 1.5 finger for his vs. 2 finger for mine. so if you don't want low, the only way to go is ACS.

I was going to go but am sick today. Feel terrible. Love to try out your V3, may be some other time. Thanks bro.

OOH ..get better i have yet to really try out how special it is. I will do that today with a drive to NT.

If Grimlock want to try Eibach he can take mine. But I had a minor front tire scratch problem as F14 offset is quite aggressive.

how's that? I have no problem with my F14. The eibach is only half finger lower...

So how do you manage to solve the scratching now? Your V3 is even lower.

BTW, congrats on the new lip. We need some photos bro.

If the housing is the same, should fit ar .. will just ride higher, since 550 front about 140kg heavier. If there is not this choice i would not drop cuz too low, maybe M springs only
Maybe ACS, it does look a decent drop .. but 2* price .. if 550 eibach work why not, also less rake (front higher)
Mlai car so low cuz 550 so heavier , make u wonder if they make the 550 spring for heavier compared to same spring for 528, 535 it should ride the same height.. maybe eibach lazy and its just the same spring

Thanks, but im holding out for the 550 ..
No prob now with V3? It drop so much with the 535 even?.. maybe will need extra pad to increase ride height

No problem at all with the v3 though it's a bit lower than Eibach. For Eibach perhaps a pad will solve the problem.

The V3 is height adjustable. That's why I suggest it to you. You can have it high, even higher than stock.

This is very strange.

Who knows? Grimmy has unique taste.

I don't think you can set it higher than stock, my highest setting of pss10 on my e60 still 10mm lower than the stock! Anyway, who will set it higher than stock!

[AsiaKid]

I just bottomed out my KWs on a speedbump exiting Park Lane..oopsies hahaha...it feels ok while driving.

actually i wonder more and more the benefit of coilover...i get that the suspension is tighter, but it doesnt change the fact that the force is on the outside corner as you turn. I guess the only major difference is maybe the contact patch and the seating angle.

As I said, Grimmy has special taste.

Did you slow down going over speed bumps? If you don't you will scratch for sure with the drop.

Try out on twisty road like Repulse Bay Road, Shek O and etc. Also try hard braking. Wait for you report Kid.

hmm, not really... coilover is very different from simply swapping the spring. the roll over (and the level of "up and down") is much less for coilover which I'm not surprised to see the difference.

I see.

But I have no rubbing issue yet. With my set up slightly higher than your ex-eibach.

BTW, Front lip should be installed now. Will pick up a bit later.
