TL;DR - has anyone experienced going from Eibach springs and swaybars to MPP Non Adjustable Comforts plus Eibach swaybars?
Hello all. I have a 2021 M3P, which I installed Eibach springs and swaybars on at 200 miles. I'm currently around 5k, and overall I'm 90% happy with the ride quality of this setup, and 70% happy with the handling.
On perfect roads, the car handles well and flat. Any bump while taking a high speed turn totally upsets the balance and predictability (presumably from the rear bump stops due to the lowering). I'm interested in solving the last bit of what frustrates me with the handling.
I come from a VW GTI on multiple sets of coilovers (KW V1's, Bilstein PSS and BC BR), and an S4 with adaptive suspension and linear springs. Both of these cars handled amazing for what I was looking for.
This brings me to where I'm at now. The model 3 is just a street car (I track motorcycles regularly and have a turbo foxbody for fun), but I don't want to limit myself to never being able to do a random autocross or track day. Does anyone know how the spring rates between the non adjustable comforts line up with the Eibach springs? Will the comforts keep all of the handling I have, with removing the issue of sketchiness over bumps during turns? Or do I have to transition to the Sports.
I'm not cheap by any means, but I'm having a hard time stomaching almost 3k for a set of coilovers, and am hoping the comforts for half the price will suffice. I'm waiting for the black Friday sale either way which will help with the pain.
