Eibach Front & Rear lift springs + anti roll sway bars

[4sallypat]

As a holiday gift to myself, I have just received the long awaited lift for my '23 Premium from Eibach.

The lift springs puts +2" all the way around better clearance around tall curbs and much better ride height.

Eibach tested this setup to see if the SR + NCM battery combination for MME prior to 2023 Job 2.
They found that the lift kit works well with ER and LFP batteries for all models & years.

So no go for SR NCM battery MME.
Mine will be a one of a kind special application (they modified the springs) as the SR battery is not heavy enough.

I also had installed a set of front & rear sway bars for preventing oversteering.

The ride quality has dramatically improved on rough roads - no more kidney busting rides.
On curvy roads, the sway bars keeps the vehicle flat, planted and stable around corners.
On high speed freeways, both the lift springs and sway bars gives you more confidence with better comfort.

Highly recommend this setup for your MME (unless it's an SR + NCM battery configuration).

The idea of increasing ride height to have more spring travel seems promising. It looks like it rides even higher than the Rally…?

How’s the cornering, and did you need to change the shocks too? I’m a bit concerned that raising the center of gravity by that much could really impact cornering.

Nice! Maybe this is the solution to the bouncy ride!

Let us know the range impact you see. There should be some at highway speeds, I think.

Yes, that's what the Eibach techs said that I can make it look like the Rally version.
They said the height is about 1" higher than the Rally.

As for cornering, it does not dip at corners anymore.
Upon acceleration, it no longer feels like it's snapping backwards.
Same with heavy braking, no longer feels like it's diving.

The sway bars really helps keep the car planted around corners, especially into a power turn.

Shocks are stock but the 2" lift helps with bumps, lumps and dips - it now has 2" more coils to compress thus less jarring.

So far I am impressed with the ride.

Very confidence inspiring - MME reminds me of my old BMW X5 (E53) that I had Dinan stage 1 + 2 updates and it drove like a confident beast.

Do you have a link for purchasing the springs and sway bars? Estimated cost and ease of diy install?

Anti roll sway bars are available now - they pulled it from their warehouse and shipped to their R&D facility during their testing of the lift springs.
$564.

As for the lift springs, they will be coming out on their website but here is the Pro Lift Kit box (left) with the part number:

Lift spring price unknown - they are just approved for the LFP & ER NCM batteries.

I put the Eibach sway bar on the front of my car. I have the Steeda bar on the rear. Definitely the bars reduce roll, and keep the car flat. I imagine even lifted, the car handles great due due to the low center of gravity.

BTW - if you want the Eibach bars and you have a GT or GTPE, on their web site it looks like they are not compatible. They are. Refer the the Eibach sway bar thread for more info.

I recommend checking eBay. When I bought the sway bars a few months ago I viewed the page on eBay, but did not purchase them. A day or two later I received an email offer to buy them at a significant discount. Not sure if this is still going on but it doesn't hurt to try. YMMV.

EDIT: I believe Discount Tire was the eBay seller and the bars shipped directly from Eibach.

When I purchased mine, it was on sale on the Eibach web site. The sale price was higher than the offers they have been making on eBay, but I didn't want to wait so I just purchased it directly from the Eibach site. But your advice is good.

Great post, thanks for the pictures!

Where did you take it? I’m also in SoCal and got my sway bars a few weeks ago.

Photos taken at Eibach's R&D center in Corona.

How do you like the sway bars ?

What setting did you choose for your front?

@4sallypat do you have a link for the lift springs?
Unfotunately I can't find them here in Germany.
They might be an option to the 'Spaccer'

They are not available yet but coming soon. Eibach will add a link to their Mach-E product page as soon as they are available.

Lift springs are not available just yet, Eibach said they are stocking then first then they will post on their website soon.

Note that the springs will lift ER battery NCM by 1.5".

Will not fit PE (Magneride) MachE.

Mine is an SR NCM battery and that's why I got the 2" lift.

Part number is on the left box:
