[QUOTE="rg470, post: 537070, member: 22132"] As promised, I would like to share my new experience after out fitting with both the Eibach prokit and H&R ARB for my E46. My current setup is going with stock Boge shocks (just changed 2 months ago) and stock 16' rims with 205/55 tires. My ARB arrived as per schedule (about 1 month) and I went straight to install them together with the ProKit springs I bought earlier at Benny Auto (Autofuture's workshop) at Kota Damansara. After driving a few days, these are the points which I would like to highlight [LIST] [*]Significant vehicle height drop at front, minimal at rear [*]No more dive and squat effect during hard acceleration & braking [*]Almost no body roll (ARB setting is currently at soft at front; medium at rear. Thinking of setting hard at front) [/LIST] I kinda prefer the current ride settings as the previous stock settings where bouncy and soft, as current ride is stiffer and more stable. Despite that the ride comfort is not severely effected as I would probably say it still retains about 70% of the stock comfort although I had to watch out for high road bumps. Cornering is fun now as the car sticks to the road firmly. That's all for now, feel free to comment. My next upgrade will probably be getting a new set of 18' BBS rims and tires as well as a set of Blistein B8 shocks. [/QUOTE]
