I just finished installing the eibach pro kit and I have to say the drop is perfect. It still has a one finger gap in the front so it fills the gap nicely without being super low. It rides softer in every setting. Sport + used to be way too stiff for me but it is now bearable. Comfort mode absorbs bumps better and feels a lot more comfortable. I’m pleasantly surprised that lowering springs actually made the car feel more comfortable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a mild drop without sacrificing ride quality one bit. I am also running supreme power 12mm front and 10mm rear spacers.
Also the install took me around 3 hours but can probably be done quicker. I did it late so was a little tired. The rears are super easy and should take 20-30min per rear side. Literally one bolt after you take the wheel off.
Good to know they work great on the C63, I'm a big fan of Eibach lowering springs
Most people here running are H&R springs and they too seem to be very good, I've always used Eibach on all of my lowered cars in combination with Koni struts and the result has been excellent.

Totally agree on the Eibach + Koni combination - I had the Pro springs matched with the Koni FSD struts on my Audi, and the combination of ride comfort AND handling was sublime...

This combination has worked perfectly for me on at least 7 cars of all makes (Euro/Aussie/Japanese) for over more than 25 years
There are other higher end strut brands compared with the Koni's but the combination of Eibach's progressive springs and specific properly matched Koni struts is as perfect a combo as your going to get, this combination was first recommended to me by a pro suspension shop and I've never changed since - always tempted to try the H&R springs as a comparison though.
Not sure however how well or not (over time) the Eibach springs will do in combination with the OEM MB adjustable struts ??

I'm definitely wanting to lower with a HAS type kit as I plan on acquiring several different sets of wheels so nice to have that adjustability, but need to do more research on all of them (KW / Weistec / H&R) and see which is hassle / trouble free, I know a guy running the Weistec HAS on his C63S with no obvious problems, otherwise I'll have to just settle on lowering springs - definitely the Eibachs in this case.

Bilstein also do theadjustable springs for the c63

I've had KW HAS on my 2014 E63 with no issues, and now on this W205 C63s coupe with no issues. Never had any binding, noises or creaks so not sure what all the uproar on here was with different members. Maybe installer error? idk. Aside from the negative camber tire wear, which was expected it's been great.
I had kw has on my previous 2016 m3 and they were great. Didn’t have any issues at all. I didn’t want to spend that much because I never once adjusted them. As far as the h&r vtf coilovers I would stay away from them. I had them on my x5 and I took them off after 3 months. It was ridiculously bouncy compared to eibach I had before on there.
As an update for eibach I feel like the rear lowered more than .4” as stated. More like .8. Still rides great. Now I just need to address the camber
I saw a post where supreme didn't reccomend less than 15mm spacers on w205 due to the hub? Was there any problem with the spacers. Looks great btw I'm ordering the springs now.

Yes that is the case for most spacers, however, supreme just reworked their design to fit any size spacers now. I believe only the supreme ones will work for anything less than 15mm.

Are you happy with the spacers? If I went 15mm front and rear do you think there'd be any rubbing issues?

Imo, I would go 15mm front, 12 rear if lowering your car. If you aren't lowering it I like the 12 front 10 rear. 15 rear looks too pokey to me. Sticks out too much imo.
I wasn't planning on lowering my car that's why I got 12/10. I wish I did 15/12 instead now that it's lowered. Still looks better than without them though.
I'm assuming your suspension is still all out of order after lowering, correct? You'd still need KMac kits front and rear to get within spec and avoid destroying your tires I'd think... What's your experience?

Yes, I need to address the camber. My driver rear was already wearing out my tire prematurely even before lowering. I'll probaby get some FI rear camber arms and call it a day. I drive the car maybe 2-3k miles a year so I'm not too worried about my tires. Also don't plan on keeping this car for more than 2 years so don't plan on doing the fronts. $500+install is a little excessive for kmac just on the front especially for a .8" drop.

Car looks great Sam! Happy you're enjoying the spacers. Makes a huge difference in terms of stance with the springs. Any shots from the rear for another stance shot?

I'm thinking about going the eibach pro kit route but I want to be absolute sure that the car handles at least as good or better. I'm worried by the reviews saying the car rides softer that car might have more body roll and feel less stiff. Curious to what the guys running them feel about handling.
Had these springs installed on a 2016 C63s sedan. I didn't care about the height adjustment (I can see it's a bit lower but I haven't measured it). I got these to improve the ride quality on the foolishly stiff stock setup, and they did that. The ride is a bit more compliant in all modes and road noise is a bit less in all environments. The adjustable damper controls are unaffected. I'm quite happy with the result.
I currently have Pilot Sport A/S 3+, stock wheels and tire sizes.
Appreciate the feedback . I’m going to get a set of Eibachs installed next week. I’ve been hesitating due to concerns over the effect on the ride quality . But it doesn’t sound like that will be an issue .

It definitely improves the ride quality over the stock springs.
