Wooly0304 · 09-23-2009, 04:33 PM

Finally lowered on eibach pro kit 30mm front 25mm back and my couple of month old rims thanks to MASON.

Eibach Pro kit is a great drop, not too agressive but just enough for std road use - look good especially with std shocks

ElegantSpoon · 09-25-2009, 01:03 PM

Yea looks good

Walesy · 09-26-2009, 05:58 AM

looks great! how do you find the ride now??? I am thinking of these also ya see and wondered what it was like.

bigfriendlyg · 09-26-2009, 06:58 AM

Yeah same question - hows the ride now, what suspension did you have before? If you can can you post pictures of the front cos i have a splitter on mine and worried about speed bumps.

The ride is excellent it isnt to hard either its so much more spotier handles so much better an looks great apprently the springs are 10mm lower then m sport. I had normal se springs on it before an i would recomend these eibach springs to any one, i will take a picture of front later.

Walesy · 09-28-2009, 03:36 AM

yeah the mor epics the better, really interested in this as I had heard before there is a chance it could ruin the dampers etc.

Wooly0304 · 09-28-2009, 12:00 PM

i cant see how they can damage the dampers, if u treat them with respect an dont go over speed humps hard then i think they should be fine i had 2005 ford focus before with same model style spring an was fine had the car for two years.

Thnks fella on ur advise im ordering them next week (depending how much i blow this weekend at some freshers do)

U also taken the same route as me in cars. went from the 06 focus to the bmw! such a nice change!

Tallest · 04-05-2010, 10:06 AM

so you had regular suspension (SE) and went with pro kit. how much worse is the ride? I mean if 100 is original, now it would be like 10% more or 30% stiffer. I know it's subjective and all but heck, why not.

This looks a bit too much of a drop for my taste, I'd like to keep it as close to msport as possible though bit not sure what options are out there for me rather than buying msport directly (very pricey).

I was wondering what springs on SE suspension would be like.

Hows the ride? Handle ok?

raf555 · 04-07-2010, 10:25 AM

looks nice!

but looks more like a sportsline eibach drop which i would prefer.

parapaul · 06-01-2010, 12:07 AM

Probably the front won't sit low enough - the 325i kit will be designed to handle the extra weight of the engine.
