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

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.

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.

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?

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