So I Believe I'm on BMW's e93 sport Suspension. I want to install the Eibach Pro-kit as I heard good reviews about them..but i'm worried since I have a convertible (Heavier then the coupe) ill rub considering I have the 19" style 230 wheels. What do you guys think?? I don't want to roll my fenders either. I attached some photos of how I sit now

Eibach Springs drop
Front: 1.2 in
Rear: 0.6 in

Wheel Dimensions
Rear: 255/30/19
Front: 225/35/19

Thanks for the help everybody, post pics if you got em! Cheers

tons of people do a lot more aggressive drops with a lot more aggressive wheel fitments.. you'll be completely fine. eibach is a conservative drop.

My brother is running, I believe, the B12 prokit kit on his e93 with 19s and he doesn't have any issues.

No rubbing with factory wheels.

Got any pictures you can send man? I'd love to see his work on his e93.

Some actually never install the rear springs because they like the stance. Also, if you have the factory wheel offset, you will not rub with these springs and those tires. Might even get up to a 12mm spacer in there!

Some good useful information Chris, now I understand why they call you the suspension Guru I already ordered my springs so we'll see how to goes, I might even do the fronts since the back sits pretty low already and carrying cargo is a must.. Thanks for the info brother.

This is what I am thinking with my E91. The rear is pretty low already, but the front not. I was going to put some apex fronts on and see how it looks before installing the rears

If that's the case, especially given that the pro-kits have pretty much the same spring rate as your current setup, you could have just gone with lowering perches up front or dropped the front struts lower into the knuckle instead.

If you do decide to put springs on, I hope they're not going on stock dampers either...

Hmm don't mean to rain on the parade here but can you guys fill me in on what you mean by "I hope they're not going on stock dampers either..." still kinda new to the "lowering scene" I have a few options here. The rear actually sits pretty low already so I think i'm considering. Never heard of the perches option tho.

Thanks for the input guys!

Eibach is the most conservative drop and will be just fine for your vert. Lower with confidence.

Edit: Just saw you're not sure about dampers. Eibachs are the only springs that would be acceptable IMO with stock shocks but if you've got over 60k or so I'd recommend replacing them with shocks of your choice.
