What springs for E90 on 19" alloys?

Hi. Recently was servicing my car and unfortunately front shock absorbers are spitting oil so will have to swap them for some sachs absorbers with some new sachs top mounts.

Now, while doing that, I thought of swapping the springs as well, something to give me a tiny better drop, and hopefully a better ride.

I know there are threads out there, although I want to make that I'll buy the right thing.

I'm looking for 10mm drop? Also front sits lower now as absorbers are in a bad state.



Thanks,
Damian.

I think it looks good as it is, but then I'm not really a fan of the tucked rear wheel

I've got Eibach springs & I think they will give the drop your looking for

Yeah, I think I'll go for Eibach. I'm only looking for a tiny drop. Anyone got a set to sell?

Go Eibach trust me.

I have Eibach Sportline Springs, but I'm running 18 inch wheels on my E90 328i.

Had a look on eBay. Seems like the Eibach sportlines give more drop than Eibach Pro's. Think I'm going to buy the Pro's. Any sources with a set for a good price?

Eibach Pro with 19's on mine, it sits perfectly

Ive found the cheapest place for Eibach & H&R springs is eBay.de
Just search for "eibach pro e90 federn" and they will show up. Then just find a seller than ships to the UK.
Ive got them in the past cheaper than from uk sellers even after including p&p from Germany! Plus, usually uk sellers have to get the stock send over from Germany anyway, so just cut out the middle man

Thanks mate, I done this before but never thought it would be that cheaper! 100 pounds from Germany inc. shipping, 150+ Pounds for the same thing in UK inc. shipping!

Anyway, this is the right kit and good price:?
