make all 3 cars the same...this test is stupid b/c they are not using the same WHEELS and TIRES

Hello Eibach,

This experiment is meaningless unless you are using the same WHEELS and TIRES for both models!

Сравнение не честное, колёса то разные.

I have these springs 1 year on my 540 i and I can say it is nothing worse than that stiff Eibachs, Than I put back my original M springs and it seems they are the best and far better than the stiff Eibachs. With Eibachs I also have pains in my back until I changed it for M-s.

This is a rubbish test. The tyres are different..and are the most dominant variable in these tests...I've lost respect for this company.

you realy should not fight pitch and roll through firmer springs, it just makes a road car stiffer, not ideal for everyday driving, that's why anti-roll bars, and anti-dive/squat geeometry were invented

@MrTreflowz

The problem is that we have very bad roads !! 

[MrTreflowz]

@joesaric wad u expect from a lower, and stiffer suspension?

[joesaric]

I have on my BMW E39 Eibach-prokit springs, and this week they are going off my car, because they are hard as rock, totally unconfortable !! I just feel every little stone on the road. !!

[ilovemyeg2sir]

who drives like this anyway?

[luminaeus]

I like Eibach springs but this test video is ridiculous.

In the slalom, the driver turns far wider than necessary to make the stock BMW slide, but in the upgraded BMW he drives a much straighter line and corners more conservatively.

But it's the wet/dry simulation that takes the cake. With the stock BMW the driver turns into the slide to make it worse, while with the modified BMWs he countersteers to avoid a slide.

For a guy with racing in the name you certainly don't know a whole lot about it... that 3rd BMW has larger wheels and performance tires.
