Hey all, I am sure this has been addressed at some point here, so I apologize if this is redundant, but I have searched for about 30 minutes and I can't seem to find a precise answer to my question.

Can anyone tell me if I can lower an E90 with the sport package with springs only, without sacrificing ride quality or handling? Or do I need to get a completely new set of springs/shocks or coilovers? Just to be clear, I don't want to slam the thing, I just want to lower it by about 1".

Thanks in advance.

eibach pro kit springs will lower it conservatively but you cannot change the ride height with just springs and retain all factory handling characteristics.

Thanks! Would you say that applies even with the stiffer shocks that come on the sport package?

I'm lowered on Eibach Pro-Kit springs with OEM Sport shocks, I wanted a very conservative drop. The ride is definitely stiffer and harsher, but you'll get used to it. My wife, on the other hand, absolutely hates it.

I think what you're looking for in terms of height and ride quality might be an Eibach springs/Koni FSD combo.

Huh, interesting. Do you know how much that combo would run me (approx)?

You might want to check the Vendor section for pricing, I know it's a little cheaper if you buy the Koni boxed set that comes with the Eibach springs.
