Default Eibach lowering results V8S 🤩

After several months of research and discussion with different members, I finally bought and installed my coil springs. I decided to go with Eibach #E10-45-007-01-22. My car is a 2015 F-Type V8S, I know that according to Eibach I should have installed E10-45-007-02-22 but several members had problems with their V8Rs, since the springs are the same for the V8s and V6s at H&R and VAP I decided to do the same with Eibach and I'm completely satisfied with the result, the drop is 7/8" front and rear and will maybe sit down a bit more after a few km on the road. I still rode a small 50km to return home and the comfort is practically the same but it is even more stable in turns. I also installed Eibach 15mm spacers front and rear. I recommend this modification to all V8S owners 👍

Looks great! And I totally agree with your comments. Although I really enjoy my VAP tune increasing HP from 340 to 416, the difference made in lowering the car and adding the spacers is even more significant as it pretty much eliminated my perception of body roll and really perfected the car's appearance. For a very reasonable amount of money, it's definitely worth looking into.

I'm very happy with my Eibachs after a year and a half. Glad you found them satisfactory too.

I love a lowered look as much as the next guy, but the practical problems it can create are enough for me to not pursue it. I have a buddy that wants to lower his Aston Martin Vantage, but he's already scraping as it is.

I guess it really depends a lot on the roads in your area.

It also depends on what's scraping. I scrape a bit here and there but it's only the plastic piece below the front lip. Not a big deal. Having said that, you do have to always be cognizant of where you are and angle the car on driveways, entrances, and exits, etc.

Yeah, I took that off and never scrape now. I am very attentive when I drive through driveways etc though. Learned the hard way on my old G35 that was aggressively lowered haha.

Do anybody with Eibach springs experience bouncing-pogoing at high speed?
