Mines 66.5 front and rear. That’s B6’s and standard springs. 2cm’s would be about perfect for me.S54 Seca Blue - ACS Short shift and Exhaust. Luverly.

Hi, my pleasure.
I think the Billys held up the OEM springs slightly more than the old OEM shocks. The 20MM drop was what I was originally thinking of going for, hence the initial post looking at the Eibach kits.
I'm really please with the results, and sure it will settle nicely as the springs bite into the rubbers.
Measuring it tuned out to be a good idea, as on some of my pictures the arch gaps are not that bad, but on others its looks massive, so the measurement shows the drop in the real world.2001 E46 M3 Coupe for me / 2007 E91 335i for the Dogs.

One week in and the rear of the car has settled about 1mm more into the standard 7.5mm spring pads. The gap between the wheel rim and highest point of the rear wheel arch is 10.9 cm and the car sits at 63.9 cm so going in the right direction.2001 E46 M3 Coupe for me / 2007 E91 335i for the Dogs.

Excuse then duplication, but there is some crossover.
Originally posted by jonnysideways View PostThough happy with the new lower height I was curious to see what a difference the 5mm 33531136385 spring pads would make.
There is quite a noticeable difference.
Though I would say the 7.5mm ones are softer.
After fitment, and a quick drive the car is actually sitting 2mm higher than with the 7.5mm ones, so it will be interesting to see if the car settles back to as it was with the 7.5mm pad or if in fact as the pad is now stiffer it doesn't seat as low.2001 E46 M3 Coupe for me / 2007 E91 335i for the Dogs.

Final work completed, and the car now sits on H&Rs all round.
The front is about 65 CM to the highest point of the front arch, and 11.4 CM edge of the wheel rim to the highest point of front arch
Then at rear about 63.2 CM to the highest point of the rear arch, and 10.8 CM edge of the wheel rim to the highest point of the rear arch
