335d Suspension

It seems that Eibach now do a lowered set of springs for the 335d, 20mm front and 15mm rear drop (part number 10-20-031-06-22). Not clear if it's compatable with adaptive?

Just intersted if anyone has any experiance with these yet?

Eibach do make a kit now for £180. Adaptive is irrelevant as that only affects the dampers not the springs. Most go for ACS though

Am I right in thinking that the Eibach kit does not include the kind of warranty which ACS provide, so a failure in a component which could relate to the spring change may not be covered?

I was interested in the ride height reduction - looks like Eibach may allow the car to sit flatter, rather than appearing to be "nose up" with the ACS springs.

That's correct. The ACS kit warranty extends to "related components" whereas the Eibach warranty is only for the product itself.

ACS determined that the car was already too nose-heavy and transferred some weight to the rear to improve the handling and steering. Performance is our priority.
