HELP....Need expert advice on Eibach Pro-Kit

MaverickBMW · 07-30-2011, 12:13 PM

I am looking to order the Eibach Pro-Kit springs and they don't list any for the E91 328i with X-Drive. They do have one for the regular E91 328i. I am worried that with a weight difference of 300 lbs for the AWD, the springs will sag and will lower the vehicle even more than I want...especially the rear.

Would the E93 335i convertible Eibach springs work on my vehicle. I know that the E93 with Steptronic weighs close to 4,000 lbs which is just a little heavier than my wagon.

I am not looking to drop my car significantly. I just want to tighten up the suspension. I will be mating the springs with Bilsteins which brings up another question should I use Bilstein Sport or HD with the Eibach Pro-Kit Springs.

Advice??????

Anybody????

Does E93 springs work on a E90? If so, I may try to find some OEM sport springs which I would assume would work on my E91 X-Drive.

springs are interchangeable, but E93s would be more suited to your weight. Most people use I model springs on XIs to lower the nose a little bit more to make it look even. You could use E91 328i springs with probably no issues, and Bilstein struts.
