Notice: Eibach Direct AU Different SKU to EU and USA

hey gents,

thought i better share this with you..

if you order an Eibach Pro Line kit from Eibach Direct Australia for the E92 335i they will ship you SKU E10-20-014-04-22

the Eibach international website as well as most EU and USA vendors will ship you SKU E10-20-014-13-22

the difference is in the front springs only. the AU kit will have the front sit 10mm higher than the EU/USA kit.

John @ Eibach in Warriewood, NSW was very helpful in determining the differences and kind enough to swap the springs in the kit i ordered with those as per the EU/USA kits.

be wary!

Nice spotting dude! Do they not tell you the specifications? Or are the au sites showing the same info as USA

Glad you got to the bottom of this (for the E92 335i) and have it sorted. I am glad mine came from the US in the first place!

you're right AYEDEE, the specs on the pages are different, but they aren't very consistent across aftermarket sites either so i didn't think this was a reliable measure. nevertheless, they ARE indeed different:
Eibach Direct AU says 30mm rear and 15mm front
Eibach International says 25mm rear and 35mm front
although there is a clear difference there's still a lot of ambiguity, ie: the rear springs are the same however going off above specs you would think they are different, and also John @ Eibach AU told me it's 10mm different on the front whereas above specs claim 20mm.

thanks for pointing out this is for E92 335i, i've edited the first post. COULD very well affect other models though, so be sure to compare SKU's across catalogues.
