eibach springs on an xi
I just had the eibach pro springs installed on my 335xi.
The ride is a lot "smoother" and it also handles a lot better. I will post more tomorrow. too tired right now also please note that the springs havent fully settled yet UPDATES WITH 19" Rims This is the only before pic that I have After Pics: Last edited by J.P.; 04-28-2009 at 07:34 PM.. |

I bought them from another member used. (they are the springs for a 335i not an Xi, that's why theres no positive front rake.)
and they were under $200, |

only replaced the springs, its not a dramatic drop so the struts and shocks in the back should be fine. they are a higher spring rate so the length of the actual spring doesnt matter as much.

i think they are linear, but dont quote me on that, i know they are alot higher of a spring rate, they took alot more to compress then the hrs.

For instance if I go over a bump the car seems to bounce a little bit more, but I don't get jolted! I don't know who else to explain it. I have no regrets though! |

I also installed the Eibach 335i springs on my Xdrive 335, and I love it. The car sits very level, and offers a very smooth ride. I have pics somewere...

Yeah the ride is no where near as harsh as it is with coil overs.

Yes they will fit, the only difference between the H&R springs for the I and Xi is mainly the rake (which stays the same) and a hair of a difference with the weight.
I chose Eibach because of all of the positive reviews. Quote:
I will post more pics tonight. and also take the measurements someone asked for. |
