Eibach USA working on our car

Dropped it off today to the R&D manager at Eibach USA plant in Corona, CA. They will have the 1M for a few days.

They plan on doing springs, sway bars / anti roll kits and maybe coil overs for our car. Got a chance to tour with fantastic full manufacturing plant and was very impressed!!!!

I am very happy with the H&R's but have always had Eibach springs on my previous rides. Will update on this thread when I get the car back.

I have wondered why more companies don't have sway bar kits for these cars? It seems most people posting go for shocks, then springs and leave it at that?

Uses same sways -- both factory and aftermarket -- as E9X M3, and quite a few are available.

I'm fitting a 28mm sway bar from an E93 M3 on my 1M.

Project 1M at Eibach stalled because of the Scion FRS and Subaru BRZ release and they had higher priority than our car. A little more patience and Eibach will have the goods for our cars for SEMA
