well i almost $hit cuz i had stomach issues and it was a questionable fart lol.

but yea your car dont bounce or anything like i expected because of how low it is, but i def felt the concrete of the 9 bridge and all the expansion joints cuz of the tires

In case anyone wants to do a comparison, I just got H&R Sport Springs (XI) installed. Ride feels great on the car now.

I posted pictures in this thread:

Thanks for the link...

Almost can't tell the difference between the drops for these 2 springs. Sweet drop anyways.

I can tell the H&R has a slight front "rake" because the springs I believe are XI specific. I have "i" specific springs on the way... Nice drop but still "Rakes" a lil bit

DESI4life10 · 04-29-2009, 06:27 PM

Sorry about that. Fixed the link.

Yea these are specific springs for the xi. The "rake" look does not really bother me much. Actually I can't really see it.

But I think you can remove a bracket in the front to make it look more even

I decided not to do that.
Thanks for the comments though

ium3 · 04-29-2009, 06:56 PM

I just got my eibach "i" spring installed on my 328xi, and it definitely reduces the front rake and i'm not rubbing at all with 245/35/19 set up all around on a 19X8.5 Miro CSL.
