(the before shots were before i started playing with it)

I don't think you are imagining the handling improvement. We had the same mod done on our Clubman. basically, after driving an R53 Works with JCW suspension, the Clubman felt a bit wallowy to us. the Eibachs are a subtle mod, you keep all the Clubman rise comfort but get a bit of stiffer handling in the bendies. We were very pleased with this mod!
