Eibach Pro-Kit

lukeiswright · 01-15-2018, 05:48 PM

Installed the Eibach pro kit on my BMW 328i today. I went with Eibach because both dinan and H&R springs seemed to have a problem with reverse rake. The drop is perfect in my opinion and the ride is stiffer which is also nice. Aren't many cars on the forum running Eibachs so I hope this is helpful to someone

first picture is before the springs, the other three are after the install.
Wheels are 19x8.5 et35 and 19x9.5 et33
Tires are 235/40 and 265/35

Looks great after lowering!

How's the ride on Eibachs's? What struts did you pair them with?

Stock shocks for now. The ride is slightly more stiff than stock, feels pretty nice.

Eibach has been doing aftermarket springs for a very long time. I've heard nothing but good things about them. I'm surprised more people don't use them on this board. I also saw someone mention in this forum that they provide the springs for ac schnitzer though I don't know if that's true.

What would you say the total drop was front/rear?

Yeah it's weird, I tried searching for pics of f30's with eibachs but only found like three. Probably dropped about a half inch to an inch all around. Perfect drop for me because my tires are taller than the standard ones.

To follow up, the drop is: 0.8"F/0.6"R.

Also, with just springs, the ride got really bouncy. It became somewhat unbearable and I had to buy new rear shocks and it rides much much better now. I'm considering just buying coils for the front instead of new shocks then later buying the rear coils if the fronts end up being too stiff.

What rear shocks did you get?

Koni Yellows, set them to about 80% stiff and it helped a lot

Excellent. I'm looking at those as well.
