How low do you want to go? Is this low enough?

All I know is that I cant afford another mistake.. Bunch of ppl say good and bad things about coilovers (both H&R / KWs). I guess I wouldnt know before driving each, I dont need a complicated system, just one setting which is comfortable, doesnt bottom out or bounce around, with a gentle drop..

whenever the stock shocks go out just replace them with some Bilsteins

Nice, and no rubbing with the softest setting on that set up? Impressive, although i would probably the front more just to cover up the gap more, but the rear looks almost perfect

It's not the softest setting per se, but a softer setting. I was shooting for a more equal drop so the front looks like there's a bigger gap. The over all drop is about 1.5" front and back.

I'll definitely be looking forward to that!!

Waiting for my KW v1 to come in. The KW v3s have some noise issues but I havent been hearing any complaints on the KW v1s.

flyboy66 · 08-28-2009, 06:34 PM

Well I already have 11k miles on my struts and 10k with the eibachs. I have been noticing a little more bounce in the suspension the last few thousand. I am planning one either getting the Bilstein's or go for the kw v1 once spring comes around.

Dereleek · 09-03-2009, 04:57 PM

I haven't read on any of these posts where someone has used the full Eibach Pro System Kit (Eibach springs with Eibach dampers). The set is only $677. Is this not enough to prevent going with coilovers or buying much more expensive shocks to go with the Eibach Pro-kit springs.

Thanks.

Do they make Eibach pro System Kit for 335xi?

tolkino · 09-03-2009, 11:09 PM

No that kit is not for xi. Even the springs arent meant to be for xi but they fit, and for shocks the options are very limited.

BKsBimmer · 09-10-2009, 03:27 AM

Just thought I'd add a few pics of my E90 xi dropped on Eibach springs. I'm happy with the results. The ride is comfortable and handling is noticeably better.
