best lowering springs for 07 328xi

RideForeign · 11-05-2014, 06:48 PM

Just wondering if anyone had a preference on ride quality or any other info about good springs for my car. I looked at eibach and teens but I would like the same ride quality just with that 1 inch 1.5 inch drop all around. I'm in gta if there's at good shop around or where to order online.

Thx guys

I'm on eibach prokit made for 328i. I got 1.25" lower in front and 1" in rear. Rear was a bit too low for my taste (rake look) so my indy just added two 1/8" rubber spacers per side (made for e46 I think) in the bottom of the spring seats. Final rear drop is about 3/4" from stock. Look is perfect, I don't rub even with 12/15 spacers, ride is great (same as stock), the floaty feeling is gone at high speed, less roll in cornering and height is perfect for our winters too. Couln't be happier!

Sounds like your a happy fellow great to hear that! Where did you buy everything that you just explained to me. I got a good mechanic I get installs for free so I'm not worried about what to pay a mechanic, just wondering if there is any site or store you went to I'm in the gta our winters are terrrrrible.

Thanks rick

I bought locally cause even if price was slightly higher than buying online (somewhere in Ontario, but don't remember), warranty if needed would be way easier to deal with from a local store. The rubber spacers for rear were provided by my indy which are very knowledgeable mechanics for german cars. Glad to help.

One last thing OP

I'm NOT on runflats. If you're still on them, lowering could mean a harsher ride...

Oh, and research about M3-Z4 bumpstops since our stock ones are too long if you change springs with stock shocks.
