Lowering springs for f30 sportline

marko1709 · 11-04-2018, 02:37 PM

Hello, is there anyone who have f30 sportline with eibach or H&R springs? I would like to see how much it lowers the car..

Those are both minimal drop springs. As are Dinan and ACS.

If you dont like what either of those four look like, you dont want a lowered car.

Personally... I went with ACS and love them. Highly recommend.

Slightly old thread but if the OP is still watching:

I put Eibach Pro Kit springs on my '17 340i Sport Line xDrive. Drop is perfect - similar to RWD M-Sport - enough but not too much. Takes away the excess wheel/fender gap and really improves the handling.

I went with the H&R Super Sports for the front and the Sport in the rear(powder coated to match). This gave a great drop and fixed the reverse rake these cars get with front being taller than the rear.

Also played around with the Megan springs on a friends car and they are exactly the same combo as mine for far cheaper. Spring rates where also very close as the H&R Super Sports. So if I would do it all over again I would just go with the Megan Springs.

Also if you just do the springs you will have a slightly under damped ride especially for the rear. I upgraded to the Bilstein B8's and could not be happier with the way the car rides with the springs.

Old pics. H&R sport. Stock shocks/struts. Spacers (10mm front/12mm rear) although the last 3 pics might've been pre-spacers.

That's a nice drop are they sports? (28878) I'm running a 9.5j on the front so I think the supersports (28877) would be too low and rub on them

I just installed eibach pro kits on my rwd sportline today. I plan to go with a 9.5 wide in the rear with a 275/30 tire and it should be fine but for now here it is on 18x8s and 225/45s (squared).

Thank you for putting those numbers in brackets to distinguish between sport and super sport. Someone is selling H&R 28877-2 and he was saying they are Sport, not Super Sport. I'm looking for Sport since i want to keep my stock shock absorbers sand don't want the car to be too low.

Where did you get your ACS springs from?

Eric Tsou from Startech (USA). I'll PM you the email address.

He really helped me with a fair, honest transaction. Was about three years ago but I'd bet he's still around.
