    They're on brother. I literally just finished the alignment. I have the whole drive to pick up my daughter to see how they are. I will for sure report back with comparisonbetween these and stock coils set at 2.5.

    Got them soldered in and all set. Even in the day, they are WAY brighter than the ebay lights...which I guess they better be (but then again, the others were free so Im not complaining). Ill hook up the other lights facing rear later, once I figure out a mount for them so I can still use my flip bed cover.

    I haven't done measurements yet, but i set them at 0 with a 3/8" top plate spacer on the driver's side and a 1/4" on the passenger side.

    turns out that my measurements are the same. I might take them back out and set the shocks to .85 or order bigger top plate spacers

    I measured the way BMW does their ride height measurements which is from the bottom edge of the rim to the fender (i find it easier that way). Doing it that way... the front is a 30" and some change. The rear is 32" (that's with non-tsb leafs with wheeler's HD progressive aal, the overload leaf left in, and 3* shims.

    Is that the longer eibachs that supposedly give 2.5" or the shorter ones? I'm at 31" measuring your way with the 884s. How much extra weight do you have up front?

    They're the 2.5 Eibach's. I have about 60 or 70 lbs of extra weight.

    Ok. I just ordered an other another 3/8" poly and a 1/4" poly top plate spacer from wheeler's. I currently have a 3/8" on the driver's side and a 1/4 (that used to be on the driver's side before the coil change) on the passenger side.

    What i am going to do is:

    Driver's side: 3/8 under a 1/4 for a total of 5/8.
    Passenger side: 3/8

    I'm going to replace the existing 1/4" since i ran it for 9 months with the other set up. since it was used for that long versus the brand new one i just put in, I just ordered another one.

    I also put in longer 1.5" studs in the top hat.

    So for those curious, let's see how it works.

    Why? Why not just crank up the 5100's.

    you guys would know better than me, but I always thought running spacers with a lift would damage/wear out the components quicker. I would just set the 5100's to 1.75 or whatever (1 below the top ring) and use that. Thats how I got mine set up and have zero issues while getting a good 1.5-2 inche before the 35's small additional lift (vs the 32's I used to have).
