If you had to pick between the two, I'd say go Mild, unless you have a pretty flat and smooth route regularly and don't carry passengers/cargo. Your car will be even lower when it's loaded up. For better or worse, your camber won't be significantly impacted - at least not in the front - so I wouldn't worry about wear too much...just take some hard corners and it'll even out. The lower ride will also further reduce the lifespan of the stock struts.
They both look really good. Definitely noticeable, even drop, but not tucked in. Perfect in my opinion. I'm not sure if they are on this forum. They are in a Vancouver TM3 FB group. I did see pics of uneven Eibach springs but it didn't say which part number they used. Maybe they chose the wrong part number? One of the threads on this forum said they ran Eibachs for 6 months and I'm not even sure the SR/SR+ specific springs were available at that time.
I’ve got the mild. It completely takes away the huge wheel gap. I drive over speed and security bumps everyday and anything lower than mild would scrape. I did a diy install and have no clunking issues. Make sure the top hat but is tightened all the way down.
According to the owners manual the LR curb weight is 4,072 lbs. and 3,552 lbs. for the standard (single-motor)
That's might be more accurate - I did not fact check it. Is the 4,072 figure for AWD or RWD long range? Guess the main point is that the different models are different weights and more than likely also different weight distribution. It is possible that adding a bigger battery can be done to not change the weight distribution but I would guess this isn't the case. Therefore, springs are not interchangeable between different configurations and anyone who has the reverse rake, it may be due to the incorrect spring. If you get springs designed for a LR RWD it should bolt on to a SR/SR+ no problem but likely give the wrong rake.
Great option please share pictures when install and what specific model did you get from Eibach (E10-87-001-04-22?)
