The Eibach Pro Lowering Springs provide a slightly more aggressive and raked stance than your stock suspension while still maintaining a comfortable ride (most comfortable compared to H&R Sport/Race). They will also fit your BMW's stock shocks and are a great and affordable way to increase handling while giving your car a lower stance. On average Eibach Pro Lowering Springs will lower your vehicle 1.2" in the front and 1.0" inches in the rear, providing for a lower center of gravity and improved handling. Pro Springs feature more control than that of the OEM springs, but are still comfortable for daily use. I'll shoot you over a PM with more details!

hey wondering if anyone can help me, i have a 2011 328xi e90 with about 250lbs of subwoofer in the trunk. unfortunately it weighs down the rear of my car dropping it about an inch. how can i correct this? either raise the rear to stock height or lower the front?
if i put on h and r springs will the rear still lower more than the front even though the springs r stiffer? thanks |

I did a ton of research on this and the consensus is yes. People are getting about 7k-10k out of their factory shocks/struts when lowered. I have the Eibach Pro springs for the 335i installed and the ride is great and not harsh at all. I coupled these springs with Bilstein Sport Shocks/Struts that are designed for the XI and meant specifically to work with lowering springs. I don't have any complaints and the handling is great compared to stock and this is even on run flat tires. I have zero rake and can post pics showing wheel gap later on.

-Alan, Any chance you can answer this? The **********s website doesn't show the Eibach Pro spring set up for e92 328xi's. I would assume the regular 328i set up would not be intended for the additional weight of the x drive. |
