Is the ACS kit different from the Eibach kit for the 430d GC like the springs have different lengths on the 435?

As the suspension on my 430d convertible is becoming barge like unless I switch to sport mode then its just bouncy - how much would it cost to have that kit supplied & fitted in Watford?

Fair enough. Shorter aka lower different?
Re spacers. I think it was your website that said the minimum on the rear is 12mm? Any reason for this.

On the rear hubs there is a lip which precludes fitting a hubcentric spacer thinner than 12mm. You could fit a flat 10mm spacer, but we're not keen on those. It's important that the wheel is centred properly on the nose of the spacer and isn't relying solely on the wheel bolts for location. |

Have you got a photo of a 430d gran coupe RWD with ACS springs please before I make my final decision and order. Also.. I've just found out my car is actually fitted with Koni FSD dampers (gold ones). No idea why, it's 'only' covered 44k miles on a 2015 plate so unlikely to have worn out the OEM ones. It's new to me but im the 3rd owner. Would this affect anything with the ACS springs. Thanks for the replies.

Just checking we are definitely talking about the right kit as your website quotes 3130236310 for the 430d Gran Coupe RWD.

Looking into it further, the ACS version might not be lower. Although the Schnitzer spring is shorter, the change might be more to do with driving dynamics than appearance.
Eibach: 94mm dia, 14.00mm wire, 294mm free length, 9.75 turns. ACS: 100mm dia, 14.75mm wire, 288mm free length, 8.75 turns. So the AC Schnitzer springs are shorter but larger diameter and thicker wire. The Eibach version is a generic item found on lots of models whereas the ACS item has a specific F36 part number, so I suspect was made to help the slightly wayward rear end of the GC with its heavy tailgate. |

I don't have any of a 430d F36 RWD specifically, but have these of a 435i, which uses the same kit.

A quick shout for the ACS springs on an F36 msport RWD
A subtle drop but noticeable none the less. 12/15mm eibach spacers fitted as well.

Can anyone advise when installing the ACS sport suspension kit do you need to fit front bumpstops like the original stock dampers or are they internal to the damper?
As for the rear bumpstops, I was going to buy some shorter ones they fit on the F80 M3 or will the standard F3x be ok. Vehicle is a 2017 440i F36.
